Don’t Waste Your Pain

by PH

Don’t waste your pain. God may have allowed pain in your life so that you may comfort others experiencing pain. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort […]

Beautiful You!

by LD

(This devotional is in light of my awareness of my balding head…:)) For Christians, death is an exchange. It’s exchanging this old body with a new body spectacularly better! A major upgrade. Imagine you bought a pair of cheap gloves from Walmart. You’ve worn them for a week and they are already ruined. So, you […]

As 1 devotional-Is Satan’s accusation true of us?

by PH

Job 1:11 (Satan speaking) But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.” Good afternoon, I can’t help but to wonder how many people who may be struggling right now to trust God and His goodness, maybe in anger and fear of not having the […]

Joy in Waiting

by PH

Christian joy is primarily in waiting for the object of that joy to be revealed. What I mean is this: Have you ever been happy just thinking about a certain joyous future event?

As 1 devotional-Submitting under government for Christ sake

Good morning everyone Romans 13:1-Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

And my heart was […]

As 1 devotional-My teacher’s favorite phrase

by PH

Proverbs 4:13-Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. If you remember elementary school at all you probably recall your teacher using the phrase "please follow instructions" all the time. The reason being is that they had our best interest in mind. Most of my teachers loved to […]

When Loneliness Stalks Your Heart

by PH

To be lonely is to be human. If you are lonely, it only goes to show that you were made for more than what you are experiencing right now. You were made to have a relationship with God. The lonelier you feel, the more intensely you are desiring this relationship with God. You are longing […]
