Live Your Purpose

I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.—Psalm 57:2 ESV

Blueprint for Peace

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.—John 1:1, 14 NIV
“In the beginning…” The Bible opens with this profound truth (Genesis 1:1): God fills the past, the present and the future. Yet this eternal Being took on flesh—and came to live with us human beings. Why? Because of love so deep and strong, it is never ending.
Dear God, help me feel Your peace and be mindful of these special holy days.
