  My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. John 10:10b Jesus’s purpose statement was stated here in John 10. The context is the beautiful illustration Jesus gave us of the sheep and the shepherd. He cares for His sheep. We are His sheep and He is taking us to a place where…

I will hurry, without delay, to obey your commands. Psalm 119:60 We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.

Philemon 1:6 NKJV The Scriptures admonish us to take inventory of the good things we possess as a result of our salvation through Jesus. If we don’t watch ourselves, we will fall into…

The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me.  Psalm 118:6,7a NLT The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so…

I (Jill) like the Fly Lady. She has taught me to not worry about perfectionism. And I love my mom. She taught me how to clean a house thoroughly. But as much as I love her, her voice of perfectionism sometimes reverberates in my mind and brings conflict to my emotions – I want a…

“Saul and Jonathan! So well loved, so dearly cherished! In their lives and in their deaths they were never separated.
