God loves to find His children yearning after Him and seeking His presence. Please find encouragement here to embrace that quest.
Humans are creatures full of desire. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. It is good and it is proper when the things that we desire are ultimately for our God. It is bad when what we desire is really only for our own selfish tendencies. We can want to be good... Continue Reading →
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.
