God's Help Is Near

The Lord is close to everyone who prays to him, to all who truly pray to him. Psalm 145:18

Healing begins when we do something.Healing begins when we reach out. Healing starts when we take a step.

God's help is near and always available, but it is only given to those who seek it. Nothing results from apathy...

God honors radical, risk-taking faith.

When arks are built, lives are saved. When soldiers march, Jerichos tumble. When staffs are raised, seas still open. When a lunch is shared, thousands are fed. And when a garment is touched-whether by the hand of an anemic woman in Galilee or by the prayers of a beggar in Bangladesh - Jesus stops.He stops and responds.
He Still Moves Stones

Your Day Is Coming


Hold on to what you have,so that no one will take your crown. Revelation 3.11

Some of you have never won a prize in your life. Oh, maybe you were quartermaster in your Boy Scout troop or in charge of sodas at the homeroom Christmas party, but that's about it. You've never won much. You"ve watched the Mark McGwires of this world carry home the trophies and walk away with the ribbons. All you have are "almosts" and "what ifs".

If that hits home, then you'll cherish this promisse: "And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will recive the crown of glory that will never fade away" (I Peter 5:4).

You day is coming. What the world has overlooked, your Father has remembered, and sooner than you can imagine, you will be blessed by him.

The Greenhouse of the Heart

Veja o tradutor no seu lado direito do Blog
People harvest only what they plant. Galatians 6:7

Think for a moment of your heart as a greenhouse....And your heart, like a greenhouse,has to be managed.

Consider for a moment your thoughts as seed. Some thoughts become flowers. Others become weeds. Sow seeds of hope and enjoy optimism. Sow seeds of doubt and expect insecurity...

The proof is everywhere you look. Ever wonder why some people have the Teflon capacity to resist negativism and remain patient, optimistic, and forgiving? Could it be that they have diligently sown seeds of goodness and are enjoying the harvest?

Ever wonder why others have such a sour out-look? Such a gloomy attitude? You would, too, if your heart were a greenhouse of weeds and thorns.
