That’s the way it is with our Father in Heaven. When you became a son or a daughter, when you were adopted into His family, He opened up for you through His Son’s death on the cross a way of fellowship and relationship that makes it possible for you to bypass the temple and its animal sacrifices. You don’t have to talk to God through a priest. You can go right into the presence of God Almighty and He will hear you.

The promises of God are His guarantees amid life's uncertainties. They're the basis of all our life of faith.

Everyone is in need of encouragement at some time. Take the opportunity today to encourage (give courage to) the one who often encourages you.

It's not that your most important work is meaningless; it's that your most trivial movements are also significant.

The vinedresser is never nearer the branches then when he is pruning them.

God has given us the gift of faith that we can take what's unseen and make it part of who we are.
