Living Faith

When darkness is all around us, even a small light can change everything. Light enables us to find our way, it gives us a sense of security and helps us see things clearly.

No one wants to suffer, but it is hard to argue that it is not a tool God uses to get our attention and to accomplish His purposes in our lives.

Real wisdom comes from a desire to grow in our understanding of God’s word and its proper application in our lives.

We sometimes struggle to understand how someone can pour their all their energy, their love, their life into others without wanting anything in return, but that's exactly what Mother's do!

One thing we all have in common is temptation, we all probably have more have experience with it than we ever wanted.

Humility reminds us that we have room to grow, room to improve, room to give more.

We often encounter great struggles on the road to great achievement, but very often it is those moments of struggle that give birth to our greatest times of faith and trust.

But sometimes, we have it in our heart to serve God in some significant way, and then doubt begins to fill us and we wonder if what we have to offer is really all that significant

Some just choose to live a lifestyle if avoidance, they try to keep nearly all their relationships superficial, but is that really the life God has called us live?

Our lives have been changed by a living and powerful God who is with us every moment of every day. Our lives, lived for the Savior, are the greatest evidence of the reality of the resurrection!

Today and everyday thank God for His great gift of love and sacrifice…thank Him for the power of the cross and the victory of the Resurrection.

Life can seem awfully bleak to us at times, and daily there seems to be more and more bad news coming our way, but let’s not lose sight of what awaits us.

With great patience and hope we join with so many others who pray that God will protect and guide those we love, with the certain knowledge that God loves them more!

Getting involved will always include taking a risk, but it’s a worthwhile one…especially when you remember you are the hands and feet of Jesus in the world!

Simple, yet powerful things that make a huge difference for others. Don’t let anything hold you back.
