Isaiah 49:15: Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. Earthly love is not constant. It may not last long. It dies when a relationship dies or when death happens. A mother is often so loved […]
Genesis 1:26: And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. God created man […]
Psalm 71:1: In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion. We are often baffled with thoughts of fear, doubt, insecurity, hopelessness, confusion and the like. It was David’s prayer to God that since he trusted in Him, he never wanted to be put to confusion. We face […]
John 1:16: And of his fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. John beautifully describes that we have received grace for grace from the fullness of Jesus.

Ephesians 2:10 – For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. The Grand Rapids Art Museum has over 5,000 works of art, including 3,500 prints, drawings, and photographs; 1,000 works of design; and 700 paintings and sculptures. As I read […]
1 Peter 2:6 – Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 1 Peter 2:4-8 presents the Lord Jesus as three stones: a “living stone,” a “precious corner stone,” and a “stone of stumbling.” […]
John 17:23 – I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Three times Jesus prays for the unity of the church. What is this unity? There is an […]
Ephesians 3:20 – Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Remember the story of The Little Engine That Could?
