My heart is heavy and it made me think of this quote today. This is something Atticus tries to teach Scout at the beginning of the book. The idea of putting oneself in another man's shoes. It seems utterly impossible at times. But we still need to try. Just to stop, breathe, and consider another's [...]

God’s Will Sustains Us
Finding out God's will for your life and doing it will sustain you, just like Jesus. It's like food in your belly that satisfies like nothing else. Having an understanding of God's will for your life will keep you grounded when everything around you seems like shifting sand. Over the years there can be many [...]
Choose to Believe the Power is Working
What we can see outwardly of our situation may seem very discouraging, but the eye of faith chooses to see from God's perspective. After all, that is what faith is for, the unseen.

Don’t Downplay The Blessings
James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning." (NKJV) Don't ever downplay the blessings of God! Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights! If something in your life changed [...]
Just One Day!
One day an entire nation had been held in slavery for 400 years, but the next day they were FREE, HEALED, and RICH! One day a young man was enslaved and wrongly imprisoned for 13 years, the next day he was the leader of a nation! One day a man had been lying dead in [...]
