Jesus taught us the important things of heaven. I learned that it is not in material things but in the souls we touch for His glory every single day.

God's Word is critical to remind us that He is still on the throne! He prohibits and allows! Our job is to have faith to believe that no matter what happens to us, He will be with us.

Six days God labored but on the seventh day, He rested. This is an example for us to honor Him by resting in Him on that day. Put down your cell phones. Stop scrolling on social media. Spend time in silence drawing closer to the One who created you and loves you enough to want you to rest!

God has called each of us to expand His kingdom here on earth! He wants none to perish! Use your gifts! Follow your passion! Do not be afraid! Stand up! Do good and speak the truth in love!

The Bible tells us that dark days are ahead of us but we are to stand firm and continue to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ! God wants none to perish! Do not be afraid! Do not shrink back! We have limited time on this earth and every day - every hour - every minute counts!

Remember when you face trials in this life, you will not face them alone! Your God will be with you. He will never forsake you. Do not be afraid. He will come to you.

Sometimes the end of the earth may be your own back yard. There are many who do not read the Bible but will read us. It's time to step up. Be bold and always speak the truth in love.

You can rest assured that God is present in your life! With the joy of the seasons, compassion of friends and even the purr of your cat, life is living! Alive all around you! His love and His presence surround you every single day!
