Sin is like a cancer that destroys step by step, sometimes so slowly we don't realize what's happening to us.

God has stepped in at the last minute more than once in history (remember Moses at the Red Sea?). And He can do the same for you. Keep turning the pages by faith and let the story play out to the end.

Parental love is unconditional, and so is God's love. No matter what a child of God has done against Him, or feels he or she has done that cannot be forgiven, God still loves that wondering soul.

Throughout Jesus' ministry, He took time away from the crowds and even His disciples to pray by Himself. Jesus modeled the importance of not only serving God with our actions but of being still and drawing close to God to renew our souls.

But it's God who gives us the ability to do things, even to gain wealth; and we must remember that what we do is only successful when we do it - His Way.

If Jesus can live in you and you are no different than the world around you, something got short circuited because Jesus makes a difference.

Forgiveness prompted by love is the only way to repair the devastation that so often mars our relationships.
