A lot of what God’s been giving me this week, in scripture, with conversations with my friends, and even from what I’m learning at school, has been involved the beauty of His love through pain and suffering. I’ve been spending time studying on the verses I’ve been reading (currently Deuteronomy 8-10, where Moses discusses the Ten Commandments, preaches to God’s...
Pslam 27.
The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
One thing I ask of the Lord, this...

You were born pre-packed! God looked at your entire life, determined your assignment, and gave you the tools to do the job!

yourstrulygaby:
The weak are prone to condemn the actions of the strong. As they have not yet come to understand Christian liberty, they do not accept it in others. The weak can be immediately recognized by the frown of contempt on their faces, and the “Oh, no!” look in their eyes. It’s not a matter of right and…

Day 2.
I know it’s a day late, but I should really be thankful everyday. So if you don’t mind:
I never gave it much thought before, but I could not thank God any more for
proving me wrong everytime.
The Thanksgiving message given at my church this week talked about gratitude’s consistency. And, I know the more I am aware of His blessings, the more overwhelmed I become by His present...

To preach His Good Name… and mean it.
When are these words ever enough? When will the emotions and overcoming presence of Your Grace remain constant?
It’s tough knowing that the Holy Spirit is always with us, and at the same time not really doing much to pursue Him. Genuine love and nourishment from the Bible and prayer don’t always come easy, and there is a big difference...

jaycechandler:
So many, myself most of all, forget that prayer is not a nice option or a last resort that God has given us; prayer is our life support. Without prayer, it is impossible to live a holy life. Paul exhorts us Colossians 4:2 to “Devote [our]selves to prayer…” The word he used for devote was…
