Never limit God. There is nothing too small for Him. Have faith. Be obedient. Give the little you have to God and watch a great miracle happen in your life. Use what you have with determination, never doubting that you can do great things for God.
Today, we will explore the concept of using what we have in our hands for the glory of God. Often, we underestimate the value of what we possess and doubt our ability to make a difference. However, God can work miracles with even the smallest of things. Let us have faith, be obedient, and offer ...read more

Maybe I should have gone with my alternate title: H. E. double toothpicks. An old sourdough [that’s ...read more
