“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord , will keep me safe.” (Psalms 4:8) We need to have that passion, assurance and faith in God that everything will be okay no matter what is going on. God has your back even when we don’t feel Him there. He already knows […]
Unfortunately, I know a few of them and as disheartening as it is, I also have been one of ” Those people”. I didn’t mean to be of course, but with the business of work, family, other commitments and not having my priorities right, I too have fallen into that trap of a Sunday worshiper. […]
Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) Throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry, He asked His disciples to come to Him, follow Him, believe in Him, and learn from Him. However, the […]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if God had a “Heavenly mailbox”? One where we could send letters to our loved ones and they could write back? My Mom used to love getting cards and letters in the mail. Oh, how I wish I could connect once again with my parents just to check in like I […]
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”― Harriet Beecher Stowe. I can recall many times in my life when I just […]
Jesus says in John 10:14, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.” In recent days, I have been leaning into who Jesus is in comparison to what our present struggles, stresses and sadness might be during this season of isolation. I was reminded of a story I read once. […]
