Father, I thank you for people who’ve encouraged me. I want to be an encourager today. Can you be an encourager to someone today? Send a note, make a phone call, go for a walk, and above all, listen more than talk.

Jesus: Our Intimate Friend

Immersed in Grace

To believe we are totally and eternally debt free is seldom easy. Even if we’ve stood before the throne and heard it from the King Himself, we still doubt. As a result, many are forgiven only a little, not because the grace of the King is limited

Expect to See God’s Glory!

If you are a God-seeker, except for times of darkness when the Spirit refines your spiritual senses, you should expect to see the glory of God! There should be an anticipation that any day now --- as you enter your prayer room or go for a walk, or in a dream -

Who’s Right vs. What’s Right

It is easy to get caught up in who's right instead of what's right. God will give us opportunities to choose what's right versus who's right, as He continues to mold us to be more like Himself.

Wait on the Lord

If there is anything we don't like to do, it's wait. Maybe that is why God is so interested in us learning to do it! There is something purifying about remaining strong in tough times and remaining faithful when ill winds blow.
