Seeds of Joy
Yesterday, we looked at how God “sows seeds of light within His lovers.” We looked at what it means to be a lover of God and the promise of revelation and guidance from God.

From the very beginning, God spoke things into existence (Genesis 1). We are created in His image so we have … Continue reading Empowered for Triumph

Depending on your particular situation, it might be very repetitive. … Continue reading Each and Every

Promise of Rest
Read Hebrews 4:1-11. We have a promised rest — a promise to enter God’s rest. What a wonderful promise! On the seventh day, God rested from all of His works. He wasn’t tired. He didn’t need to rest. He displayed for us the beauty of this gift of rest, this rest that He offers us. … Continue reading Promise of Rest
