Faith Through Suffering

It’s difficult to see loved ones from church suffering with serious health conditions. But it’s such a relief to know that despite all they are going through, God loves them, and has a place for them with Jesus in heaven. In the meantime, during this earthly existence, we have to have faith. We must be… Continue reading

A Prayer of Thanks

Today, Almighty Father, I give you thanks. When I was an unbeliever, you were shaping and moulding my character; working out a plan for my life with great care and intricacy. You sent teachers to help me through struggles and to develop my curious mind. Lord, I was lost in a wilderness for so many… Continue reading
