Peace is one of the most obvious earmarks of the authority of Christ. A sense of peace will virtually always accompany His will and direction, even when the direction might not have been our personal preference.

We long to find someone who has been where we've been, who shares our fragile places, who sees our sunsets with the same shades of blue. Soul mates. They somehow validate the depth of our experiences.

When God says go forward, don't even think about standing still.

We have a very real God with a very real presence.

God is not harsh; He is holy. He is not selfish; He is sovereign. He is not unfeeling; He is all-knowing. Like David, we need to come to know Him, and respect Him; and, like David, we will love Him more.

It’s critical that we know what we believe, no matter what we feel...that we know what is true, no matter what we see.

Picture God nudging you and me awake before dawn because He can hardly wait to be with us.
