A HIGHER CALLING

Love Is… Few years ago, I think I would have given my right foot out just to argue that love indeed is a feeling. How could anything as great as Love be a choice? By the time I had that one lecture where the lecturer someway, somehow said it again - Love is a choice and not a feeling - I had heard enough of the statement to motivate me to learn more about what it meant for love to be a choice. *         *         *         *         *         *         *         *         *         *         *         * There are very many definitions of what the word could mean: -     ...

Trust The word in itself is a very powerful one.

Although we look down on ourselves, it is only the way God sees us that matters therefore it is right for us to ask God to open our eyes so we can see us the way He sees us. If we want to be sure of how God sees us, let’s take a look of the beautiful and wonderful names God addresses us with in His word. When going through these names, let’s also try to personalize them by saying “I am…” He sees me as: ·          His Beloved ·          His Special Possession ...

Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things. Matthew 6:33 GNB Stay in Peace!
