The View

Overlooking my balcony is what I like to call, a mini forest. Many days and nights I have spent admiring God’s handiwork. One day, I decided to leave the awesomeness of my view and venture down below. Let me tell you, it was a feeling I would never forget....

Trust God

Yes, You CAN Keep Score

First off, let me be clear, there is no point system for salvation. No amount of works (or lack thereof) will get you in or out of Heaven. Ephesians 2:8-10 (Berean Study Bible) 8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves;...

End this Year right! Stay Calm!

Fresh as the morning s breeze

God’s love for us is new and fresh every new day. Do not neglect to drink in a fresh supply of His love today. New Refreshing 2 Corinthians 4:16 AMP.  Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet...
