ALL IN

Published by

I would like to introduce a four-part blog series that I will deliver over the next four days. I am taking my title from Mark 12:30 and I am going to unpack the verse talking about what it means to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. I am praying that it will be a blessing to you. Mark 12:30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength Part 1: How to love the Lord with all you Heart According to the Bible, the heart is the center not only of spiritual activity, but of all the operations of human life.

A Constant Companion

Published by

Sometimes life becomes so lonely that you begin to think nobody cares about you and nobody sees you. It is during those times you need to be reminded that you have a friend who is alway there with you. His promise to you is that you can count him to be there with you in every situation. He will not only provide your every physical, financial, spiritual and material need, but also He is going to be there for you even when life doesn”t seem to add up. He is a constant companion, a faithful savior and a friend that sticks closer than a brother. You can confide in, rely on Him, trust in Him and be completely confident that He will be there to sympathize with you in every situation. So make it your goal to invite Him every day to come along side of you because you don’t have to be alone – He wants to be your very best friend.
