God loves to find His children yearning after Him and seeking His presence. Please find encouragement here to embrace that quest.
Mysterious and always miraculous are the ways of the Lord our God! We see with pathetically weak eyesight only the extent of our relevant perceptions and based on our experiences and understanding.

When Jesus tells us that we will always have the poor with us but don´t always have Him, what does it make us think? If it doesn´t make us think, then the weight that the Scripture holds in instructing us is lost. If we brush it off as words to others, it is lost. If... Continue Reading →
