FROM THE KEYBOARD

When you live to make Jesus famous, you can expect haters to surely surface. And as a result, keep your eyes on Him and you won't have ears for them.

God doesn't make mistakes, He makes mercy. So when we make mistakes, the mercy that He makes is not only new every morning, but they are new for every moment.

The future cannot be ill when your faith is well. Because though you don't know what the future holds, you know very well that God holds the future.

In God's economy, everything happens for a divine reason. Even a move backwards is in fact the very stepping stone that will eventually propel you forward. Consider Joseph in the Bible. Without prison, he would have never been ready for the palace.

In a culture that is more attracted to 15 minutes of fame, be the person who is more interested in a lifetime of faithfulness. The Bible says, "Without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6).

There is no pit too deep for God's hope to reach. There is no shame too great that hasn't already been covered by God's grace. There is no failure that can speaker louder than the mercy of God's character. There is no reason to hide from the One who is on your side. He is the friend of sinners and He see's you as His son or daughter. You can trust Him.
