Darkness. The world was in darkness. But we knew the Light was coming because God promised His arrival. Suddenly, one night so long ago, He came bursting into our world as a baby. And just like the morning sun, He overcame the dark of night and gave us hope.

You have been changed, given new life. You’ve tasted what is good and real and true. So live free.

It’s inevitable. Rough waters will come. But the good news is that you are not navigating alone.

When our bodies fail to provide our heart’s desires there is no one else to turn to for help but God.

People or things will try to distract you, but keep going.

God not only created us and knows us, but He is in tune to our every thought and emotion.

Stressed? Disillusioned? Exhausted? When life is too much, lay your crushed spirit before the Lord. He is strong. He will protect and renew you. Run to Him . . . He is waiting for you.

It’s time to get rid of all the gunk—the dirt, the grime, the residue of old ways. That is not you anymore. You’ve been cleaned. You’ve been changed. You’ve tasted what is good and real and true. So live free.

“Be crafted into something new.” (Colossians 3:1-11) It starts with an idea. In the designer’s skilled hands, the raw materials begin to take shape. The process is sometimes messy and time consuming, but it is necessary. The transformation process creates something useful, something beautiful, something new.

Life comes with question marks. But we need not fear; God is faithful.
