Walking with God, Digesting Scripture and Pointing Others to Grow Deeper in their Faith
Funny how the only available images to share on my Bible app for this verse only include the first part, “a friend loves at all times.” It’s human nature for us to cling to certain things and ignore other things that are said in God’s Word. I’m blessed to have the kind of friends who... Continue Reading →
Jesus knew his disciples were in for a world full of troubles. Jesus himself endured so much while here on earth. He knows. This is a word for me too. It’s a word for you. We are to take heart.

God’s Peace, incomprehensible Peace, Peace that doesn’t even make sense is available to us. This verse says it guards my heart and mind. The verse right before this one tells us to be anxious about nothing. How do we do that? It says to give our requests to God in every situation with thanksgiving. By... Continue Reading →
