Mercifully, God’s grace is greater than our own rebellion. Patiently, He quells our stubborn, defiant nature and urges us to stop resisting. When we finally stop striving against Him and rest in His love then we realize His embrace is actually the safest place you and I could ever be.

Breaking Down Walls
Jew or gentile, man or woman, black or white, young or old, He loves us all. After all, we’re all in the same boat; sinners in need of a Savior.
God’s Presence
God has promised never to leave us. Never means at no time; not in the past, not in the present, not in the future. God will never forsake those He loves. That promise comes with a lifetime guarantee.
God’s Mighty Arm
His power is the same today as it was in the past. His arm is still as mighty as it was in the days of Moses. If God has promised to care for us (and He has), then we can rest assured He will act on our behalf. What really matters is not our own strength, assets, and abilities, but His. So put away the calculator – He’s got this.
Eagle’s Wings
I would love to soar like a hawk or an eagle, unfettered by the pull of this world. Yet I can’t soar if I’m clutching a load that is too heavy for me. Soaring can only happen when I leave that burdensome carcass at the foot of the cross. I have to be rid of in order to receive; new strength for the road ahead, the ability to rise above the world’s troubles, to run without growing weary, to walk with unflagging energy.
Blessed Are the Meek
Are you tired of the daily grind of diapers, meals, cleaning, and carpools? Do you wish you could trade your current situation for a far ‘better’ life? God knows what you’re doing and He will reward you accordingly. As God’s heir, your name’s on the deed. One day, you will inherit the earth.
Fear
God reaches down and clasps our small frail hand in His big mighty hand and says, “Come on, child. Don’t be afraid. I am right here beside you. Let’s tackle this one together.”
Apathy
My true enemy is not hardship, it is complacency. When I settle for the status quo and lose my passion for Christ, I risk sinking into a state of apathy.
This is the Day
Our joy and peace are found, not in what each day contains, but Who contains each day.
Acceptance
I am so thankful Christ’s acceptance is not conditional. His sacrificial love is based not on my merit but on His mercy. He does not consider my flaws and blemishes. He does not look at me with contempt despite the ugliness of my sins. On the contrary, He lavishes loving acceptance on me, imperfections and all.
