The Most Wonderful Gift
We can believe in and know perfect love. It is not a fantasy or a fairy tale. Though, we often do not perceive it, it is an ever present gift flowing down from above, always before us, calling out to us, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” You see, there is a lie, as…

Jesus, The Word of God
Many times I’ve picked up the Bible and put it down disappointed. I would need encouragement from God’s Word, but all I felt was discouraged. In these moments, I wasn’t trusting in His Word. I wasn’t “taking it in” and it wasn’t changing me. Oh, there are many reasons for my lack of faith! I…

Resilient Faith
Resilient faith is believing God when your feelings are screaming the opposite. It does not give into fear by “making something happen”. Resilient faith is keeping your eyes locked on Heaven in the midst of impossible circumstances, running to and abiding in the “Refuge of The Father”. Resilient faith is waiting on God for as…
