Why You Need to Be Confident in Your Calling from God

Inside: why you need to be confident in your calling from God

If you have browsed around my blog for any length of time, you know that I seem to write an awful lot about the call God puts on our lives.

I’m not entirely sure why this is the case. I guess because I want you, dear reader, to be confident in your call from God. I want you to be encouraged and go forth in faith and do what He has laid on your heart to do.

When You Desperately Need Jesus: Keep Walking

Are you in place where you desperately need Jesus?  I know I have been there a time or two.

So, do you ever have those moments when you’re reading the Bible and suddenly something you’ve missed for years pops off the page?

Surely, it’s not just me who experiences that, right? I don’t know what happens.  I’ll be reading a familiar passage and suddenly, it’s like I see something in new light.  Or maybe, God just reveals it to me? I don’t know.
