I believe that one reason we don’t […]

You Are a Masterpiece

That means you are not ordinary or average; you are a one-of-a-kind original. When God created you, He went to […]
Unexpected Shifts

Close the Door on Fear
Scripture “Do not give the devil an opportunity to work.” (Ephesians 4:27, ISV) Word So many people today are living with less than God’s best because they’ve allowed fear to creep in and take root in their lives. Fear is the greatest weapon the enemy uses to try to hold us back. Fear is not […]

Before Creation
Scripture “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world…” (Ephesians 1:4, NIV) Word Did you know that God chose you before the foundations of the earth? Before the worlds were ever formed, He knew you. And, He didn’t create you to be average. He didn’t create you to barely get by. […]
