When Your Faith Wavers
During the winter months, it’s not unusual to feel your faith waver. A season of waiting can feel as if it’s going to last a very long time. Think of any pause as a catalyst that will increase your faith. Trust His promises. He will use all things for good.
All Your Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.—Mark 12:30 (NIV)
Content in Him
