    Instead of being satisfied to feel "sorry" when we miss God’s mark, we should press on to produce change in life to please Him.

Yet, they never felt the need to do anything about it other than cry and be sad for their lack of spiritual happiness during all this time. After all, no one else was any closer to God.

    Just because you did not get some stuff does not mean you turn back, just because you’re prayers were unanswered does not mean you quit church, just because you were not healed does not mean you walk out on God! Press forward!

    Luke 9:62” Jesus replied, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Too late to withdraw! You have come far too long to quit! I pray that you will be blessed and encouraged by this devotion. You are an overcomer, a warrior and a child of ...read more

It took hundreds of attempts, and each attempt took a full 24 hours to create a new bulb and put the ingredients together. On one occasion, after 24 hours of ...read more
