Matthew 9:13- I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.
Let us not be afraid to go into challenging places with the power of the Good News. Yes, we avoid situations that is a temptation for us. It is obvious that we should not expose our weaknesses to unnecessary pressures but we should also not stand back either. Far too many Christians wait for the world to come to their churches like a hospital stands ready for the sick. In a society that assumes the church will judge and reject - or that doesn't even understand its own sickness - that approach won't work. Let us go where we are needed; serve wherever we can; take God's grace on the road to reach a grace-hungry world. (adapted from C. Tiegreen, One Year, Salt and Light Devotional, pg. 182.)

I’ve been visiting a 90 year old lady that lives near me. When I first met her she was new to the area and very lonely. She’s originally from Spain and raised as Catholic. She has a wonderful strong Spanish accent. She wanted things to read so I brought her the Heavenly Man and a few other Missionary autobiographies. She read them and seemed impressed by them. She did say she didn’t believe in the inerrancy of the Bible so I brought her one on that but she hasn’t read it. Finally yesterday I asked what she thought of the books I’ve given her and she said she didn’t believe they were true. She thinks the authors didn’t tell the truth about their lives. We talked some and I found that she thinks that my relationship with God is a mistake of belief if that makes sense! From what I understand she thinks you can’t have a personal relationship with God.Her name is Carmen I’d appreciate if you would pray for her.
"Lord, you are closer to me than I can imagine, moving and shaping me, speaking through my thoughts and activating my interests and desires. Give me the discernment to sort out your will, and move me with your Spirit to meet the world's needs. Amen." - C. Tiegreen
"Trials are for a moment, but God's goodness is forever. To experience trials, you will have to choose to believe in His true nature. When you do, His nature grows in you, and many hurting people will be drawn to it." - C. Tiegreen, p. 179 The One Year Salt and Light Devotional
This Album was very helpful during the moments I had my bout with a mild major depression. Listening to them today, still makes me long to be drawn closer to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I hope you will blessed with these songs as well. Thank God for Chris Christian.

Philippians 3:7-8 What is more, I consider a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ. Philippians 3:7-8

Let us fill our mind (our Social Media walls as well) with the ever encouraging, guiding and correcting words of God.
Let me know if you need someone to Memorize God's word with you. Maybe we can arrange something.

Lord of heaven and earth, anchor me well in your Kingdom and make the peace of eternity visible in my eyes. May my words reflect eternal hope and my smile welcome others into it. May the assurance of my hope be contagious. Amen.
C. Tigreen, Salt and Light, One Year Devotional, pg. 85
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God."
- Romans 8:18-21
Isaiah 26:3 - You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in You.
There is available calming peace in God when we steadfastly trust in Him.
Lamentations 3:22-23
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed for HIs compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness.
2 Corinthians 12:9
But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me.
God's grace is sufficient!
