“Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.” -A W Tozer God created us to need Him. We need His strength, His guidance & His patience. He warns us “not to grow weary in well doing” in Galatians 6:9. He gave…
You have a choice about how you want to react, even if you didn’t choose the situation. If the winds of life get a little too strong, don’t quit, face them. Face them with confidence in God’s capabilities to bring beauty out of the situation. Trees grow deeper roots after every storm…
