Joy, delight, awe, forgiveness, peace. Our Savior has all these things ready to hand to us when we sit still in HIS presence. We all want a little joy don’t we?

Let’s get inside our heads for a moment: NEVER THINK THAT GOD IS THROUGH WITH YOU! Oh we give plenty of excuses like, I’ve gone too far, sinned too much. Or how about the I’ve tried all of that before. JOEL 2: 12-13 “YET EVEN NOW, DECLARES THE LORD, RETURN TO ME WITH ALL YOUR … More NEVER THINK THIS!

In our lives, GOD often closes a door only to open another one for us. I believe this is due to the fact that HIS plans are always better than our own. ISAIAH 55: 8-9 “FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NOR ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, SAYS THE LORD. FOR AS THE HEAVENS … More THE CHALLENGE OF A BLOCKED DOOR
The LORD is with us always and forever. Once HE has us in HIS hands HE never let’s go. It’s why HE chose the nails for us. HE would rather live with us than without. HE knows the depth of our sin, and yet HE died alone, on a Cross between two criminals. HE took … More THE SAFETY OF HIS PRESENCE
There are glory days ahead. Just as the sun rises each day, spring is around the corner. And so is abundant life in CHRIST. It’s all HIS grace of course for each of us.
