1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Philippians 4:11 (KJV) Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I get this question a lot, especially at work. "Why are you so happy all the time?" How I answer depends on who is asking. If it is a child, I tell them how much I enjoy hanging out with them and the other kiddos at Rainbows. When I have a one-on-one conversation with a co-worker, I explain the reason for my optimistic attitude. 3. I am content in my life and work. 2. I am a naturally happy person. 1. Ask me about how God has blessed my life. Number one is the real reason for my joy. My Heavenly Father lavishes me daily with grace and mercy and I am so very grateful for His love. What's your reason? *** Notable Quote: Psalm 16:8-...

It's inevitable. Your relationship with your Heavenly Father is mirrored by your relationship with your earthly father. My daddy was a good one. He always put family first--even above his career. He never missed a game or concert or play. There were hard times. My teenage years were tough and he didn't react well to a headstrong, smart-mouthed girl. We found our way back to each other after I married and became the mother of his first grandchild. Not everyone had a great father. Some were absent, cold or even abusive. Don't allow that lousy example to tarnish your image of our Savior. He is warm, loving and concerned about us in the way a true father should be. No matter what kind of dad you had here on earth, a close and personal relations...

And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. In my nightmare, I'm being chased by a snarling monster that just can't be shaken. Once overtaken, he pounces on me, pinning me to the ground--a heavy weight on my chest. I wake in a sweat, breathing hard. Guilt is, simply put, the weight of sin on our souls. But guilt does not come from God. There is no such thing as "Godly guilt." The accuser pushes guilt onto our hearts because he is desperate. He knows the freedom that Christ bestows. Satan wants us to continue to be shackled by sin. He's a liar. We must repent and ask for forgiveness. After that, our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus. If you know, love and believe in our Savior, you have no guilt. It is replaced with God's grace and our gratitude and praise. Ste...
