We often lie to ourselves. We say that we have given our hearts to the Lord. But what have we given, anything at all? We tell ourselves that we gave our hearts to God because we want to believe it is true. We tell ourselves we did because we have convinced ourselves that it is... Continue Reading →
Hope In The Dark
We have all been there. Fear grips us. We begin to realize that we are way in over our heads. The heart plummets, and our heads reel. In desperation, we look this way and that. No help. No way out! We are through! But wait! Is there hope? There is! If our hope is in... Continue Reading →
God Is Not Far

When we finally stop trying to handle our situation ourselves, we turn to Him for help. We find the Lord had been dying for us to come sooner. When... Continue Reading →
God Answers
One of the most mind-boggling themes to ponder is why the Almighty God would listen to us. The atheist brushes off the subject or uses it as an excuse not to tackle it.

Who Seeks God?

Trust In Loving Kindeness
Those who have experienced the loving-kindness of God sing out their praises to Him. We have seen it, and we know. We stray. One moment we are down and out, and then the next, we are standing on top of the world. So beautiful and so sweet it is that we cannot help but throw... Continue Reading →
