Police in Winnipeg are asking the public to keep an eye open around two churches for a woman who has not been seen in a week.

The Winnipeg Police Service says that Hao “Helen” Luo was last seen in the evening of Tuesday, November 21 in the area of Des Meurons Street and Pilgrim Avenue.

She is described as 5’3” in height, with average build, black shoulder-length hair, and brown eyes with glasses. Luo was last seen wearing a Canadian Weather Gear yellow winter parka, beige sweater, dark jeans, black shoes and a black toque with a pom pom.

Psalm 25:21

Thoughts are the thermostat that regulates what we accomplish in life.

My body responds and reacts to the input from my mind. If I feed my mind upon doubt, disbelief, and discouragement,that is precisely the kind of day my body will experience.

If I adjust my thermostat forward to thoughts filled with vision, vitality, and victory, I can count on that kind of day.

Thoughts, positive or negative, grow stronger when fertilized with constant repetition.

Psalm 55:22

God has entrusted to us a great deal.He knows that we can do all things by His grace, so He's trusting in us to trust in Him. Yet He knows our fears as well, otherwise He wouldn't assure us so often of His purposes and His presence.

We feel hurt and alone—God assures us He cares.We feel angry and resentful—God provides wisdom and strength.We feel ashamed—God grants forgiveness and comfort.

We feel anxious—God promises to supply all our needs.May He give us ears to hear, hearts to trust, and minds to rest in Him.

1 Chronicles 16:8

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.

Proverbs 9:10

If you're the kind of Christian who really wants the whole purpose of God, then you dare not leave out kingdom commitment.That means your motives must be investigated.

For example, every time you make plans to acquire a sizable possession—a car, an expensive boat, a house, and such like—you must deal with it before God and ask: Is this His will? Would this honour Him? Would this glorify Him?

Colossians 3:16

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

2 Corinthians 7:10

Can you name people today who seem to listen carefully to God—people whose hearts are especially sensitive to the Holy Spirit?

I can almost guarantee that those are men and women who know whatit is to be broken and bruised. They have the scars to prove it.

Perhaps as you read these words you bear the marks of a carnal week, day after day in which you've gone your own way and grieved the Spirit of God. And now you come to these pages with desperation to change in your heart—to learn from God and renew your fellowship with Him.

Hebrews 12:28

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe

Matthew 6:9

By merely reviewing the first few lines of the Lord's Prayer, we gain a renewed respect...a healthy and wholesome sense of reverence for our Almighty God and Father.

Rather than causing us to run from Him and hide in fear, I find that such an awesome respect makes me want to come close to Him, to wait quietly for Him to work.And so I urge you to slow your pace, to approach His "hallowed name" thoughtfully.
