Do you have peace? I'm not talking about peace in your circumstances but peace in your soul. The peace Jesus assured for His followers when He said, "Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful."(John …
This is New Years Day and 2023 is a blank slate. None of us know how the pages of our story will unfold. Sure, we can set our goals and make plans, but ultimately... A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.Proverbs 16:9 By the end of 2023 this now blank …
She slipped me the envelope this morning as we crossed paths at church and said, "I'm so embarrassed; this is something I was given to pass onto you, but I've had it for the past year and forgot about it until I switched handbags today and found it!" When I got home I opened what …
