THOSE WHO TRUST IN GOD WILL POSSESS THE LAND

INSPIRE ME

What does it take to be inspired, especially when it comes to your relationship with God? For me, there are no fireworks, no feeling of physically bonding with my Savior, no Road to Damascus moment like Paul experienced. When I … Continue reading

FORGIVEN, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

  We often tend to give into the devil’s claim that we should wallow in our guilt.  How could God forgive a wretch like me?  I’ve not shown Him the honor He deserves – my life is full of imperfections – … Continue reading

HE LOVES ME!

Remember when you were young, pulling the petals off a daisy to determine if someone loved you?  There was always a 50-50 chance that the special someone you wanted to love you did.  The odds weren’t that great, were they? … Continue reading

REJOICE IN YOUR GIFTS

HOW DID MONDAY WORK OUT FOR YOU?

Yesterday I talked about Mondays being a chance to start fresh.  Actually it’s good to set goals, plan ahead, look forward, but most importantly look up.  If we try to accomplish even the simplest of tasks alone, we’re setting ourselves up … Continue reading
