Seared in the fire. Crafted into perfection. Ready to be used. Just as the craftsman refines a tool for a select purpose, we were created in Christ Jesus to do good things. God has already given you ambitions and directions. Go fulfill them. Read more: http://odb.org/2015/06/03/something-new/

Do you ever feel like you’re drowning? Like there’s an ocean of pain and problems and you can’t breathe? But there is One who saves. Who rescues.

The weight of the darkness can be suffocating. Until the Light of the World reveals Himself, and you believe.

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

God renews our spirits even during the struggles. We can keep going in this life and look with anticipation to the next.

Your might is incomparable. With a mere thought, You can create. I can’t even fathom it. I am small and weak. Yet, in my weakness I feel Your strength. You bring comfort and peace, and I trust in You.

You can travel the extremes this earth has to offer. From the physical heights and depths to the emotional highs and lows . . . God is always with you.

We are messed-up people. Even when we try to do good, our evil hearts are still corrupt. But Jesus knows.

God, you know me. You planned every intricate detail of my body, my soul, and my personality. And I love you for that.
