Caregiving
Whether you or a family member is caring for a spouse, parent or loved one, find support in articles, advice, prayers, and inspirational stories for caregivers.
I Shall Return
And the Lord replied, “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them. If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward. I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns.”—LUKE 12:42–44 NLT
Taking Jesus at His Word
The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed.—JOHN 4:49–50 NIV
Refined by Good
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.—GALATIANS 6:9 NIV
The Sacrifice God Desires
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.—HEBREWS 12:1–2 NIV
Sharpening Your Iron
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.—PROVERBS 27:17 NIV
Praise and Thanksgiving
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.—PSALM 100:4 NIV
