Recently I read in Max Lucado’s devotional book: GOD IS WITH YOU EVERY DAY the following: DON’T MEASURE YOUR LIFE BY YOUR ABILITY; MEASURE IT BY GOD’S.

I don’t know what you are walking through right now. Maybe it is a good season or maybe it’s a tough season. You may be hurting down deep. Could be a loss of a friend or loved one. Could be an unanswered prayer you have prayed for a long while. WHEN WE HURT………WE TEND TO … More TIE YOUR HOPE
