     | 108 views

    Living on the edge numbs the soul, but God’s mercy pulls us back from the drift and invites us into renewed holiness and freedom.

    Last night I was listening to some beautiful music. And I was just thinking, this music is a gift from God. It really is. Who is this creator who made everything?

We could use a fresh breath of grace. We could use the reminder that God isn’t just good to us; He is near to us. Near on the mountaintop. ...read more
