The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3 Coming to the end of December has a way of making me reflect on the year that has passed and on goals for the upcoming year. This year, sharing my testimony at a church function caused me to celebrate [...]

The silence of the night was broken by the cries of a baby entering the world. It is such a sweet sound. A sound that every new mother waits anxiously to hear and when the cry rings out, her heart is overwhelmed with joy. The cry on this starry night in Bethlehem so many years [...]

"I love you, LORD. You are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to Him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies." Psalm 18:1-3
There have been times in my life when I wondered if You were listening to me. Yet lately there is no doubt. I see You answer so concisely, Father. Can I ever praise You enough?! My words seem so insignificant at this moment. I thank You, O Lord, with what little I can offer. I am overwhelmed with Your tender grace. My heart overflows with joy and sweet peace because I sense Your great love for me. How could I ever live without You, God? I could not!
You are Life, You are Love, You are Listener. There is no other god but You. Thank You, Jesus, that when I came to the well seeking Your living water You freely gave and You continue giving every day. And now I will rest in knowing You have me and mine safe in Your hands. In Jesus Precious Name, amen.
This is my prayer for today,
Julie
