New Mercies

Many times the only strength I have is knowing that God is with me, that He surrounds me with His love and care, and that tomorrow He is still walking beside me.

I am so thankful for God's grace and mercy.  I am thankful that, even when I am incredibly unfaithful, He is not.  His faithfulness will endure from everlasting to everlasting.

I know in these days hopelessness and desperation abound, but I have found my hope and you can too.  Hope is only a prayer away.

a Surrendered Life

When I think of the word surrender more often than not I envision an army surrendering to another army who just gives up.  Sometimes I think of a person surrendering to the will of someone else.  But instead of thinking of the word "surrender" as a verb--as an action--I want to challenge you to think of surrender as an adjective.

I know that this goes against every rule in the English language, but hear me out.

God wants us to move past this action of surrendering into a surrendered life.  In other words, God desires us to move past the process of surrendering every problem as it arises in our life.  He wants us to move into a new realm of trust.  He deeply desires us to always live in this complete trust state.
