"God loves you just the way you are. If you think His love for you would be stronger if your faith were, you are wrong. If you think His love would be deeper if your thoughts were, wrong again. Don't confuse God's love with the love of people. The love of people often increases with performance and decreases with mistakes. Not so with God's love. He loves you right where you are. God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus." Max Lucado from "Just Like Jesus" … [Read more...]

Share and share alike here...and watch the growth … [Read more...]
God’s Power, Presence and Peace
Psalm 29:11 (TLB) He will give His people the strength . He will bless them with peace. Psalm 27:1 (NCV) The Lord is my light and the one who saves me. I fear no one.

It is as if you have suddenly discovered who you really are, and you feel more alive than ever. These moments become more frequent if you cultivate quality time with God.
