WHAT YOU COULD NEVER DO FOR YOURSELF
Every morning we wake up and often in our own strength we try to do better…….we try harder at home, harder at school, harder at work. But in our own strength it can be exhausting and even trying to be better people seems to not work out right either. There is always something missing or … More WHAT YOU COULD NEVER DO FOR YOURSELF
THE BEST INSTEAD OF THE COMFORTABLE
Paul David Tripp says in his devotional book: New Morning Mercies, that grace isn’t lazy and that we were created to work.

MERCY IN THE WEAK MOMENTS
Life is made up of moments, hours, days and years. Life is made up of good and bad and everything in-between. There is joy and there is tragedy. There is strength and there is weakness.

We are a selfish people most of the time and we have made ourselves our top priority. But … More YIELDED AND TRUSTED
