“Consider today how your life might “paint a picture” of God’s love. Who can you reach out to with the loving and gracious attitude of God, so that they might experience something of Him through you today?”
Love for Others, Christlikeness, Compassion, Good Deeds, Witness
Your life paints a picture of God’s love to the world! Let every act of kindness be a brushstroke of His heart.
“We learned to be patient and wait for God’s timing in our lives. He proved faithful.”
God’s Timing, Faith, Hope, Trust, Testimony
God’s timing often feels late, but His promises come right on time. Keep trusting Him through the waiting.
“Sometimes the miracle God does is to change your situation – to remove the tumour, to do the impossible! But other times the miracles God does is to sustain you through a tough situation – and that is no less a miracle.”
God’s Power, Strength, Faith, Perseverance, Miracles
God can do the impossible - and sometimes the miracle is simply that you endure. Let His greatness be seen through your weakness.
“Abraham and Sarah waited, and waited and waited. God’s promise lingered. But at the right time, God came through.”
God’s Timing, Faith, Patience, Perseverance, Trust
God always fulfils His promises, though His timing rarely matches ours. Wait with faith that His guarantee will arrive right on time.
“Your life is a picture of grace – whether you know it or not.”
God’s Grace, Gratitude, Faithfulness, Worship, Trust
God’s grace defines the entire story of Abraham and Sarah - and ours too. Live each day mindful that every breath and blessing is a gift you didn’t earn.
