Just, yes.   I think we need to have an honest discussion about this perception and belief that we’ve allowed to infiltrate our social norm that people are not complete on their own. When I saw this poster online, everything in me wanted to jump up and scream, YES!

But those who listens to me will be secure and will live at ease, without dread of disaster – Proverbs 1:33 In the beginning, God intended for us to live a perfect life of joy and communion with Him. Unfortunately, sin entered the world and perfection was tainted, leaving a world full of hurt and brokenness.

God’s Word is our guideline for a life of peace and protection, with all the instructions we need to get through this life until we … Continue reading Minute Devotions: Walk in the shadow of His love
