Open Up
Jesus is outside the gate of your heart, waiting for you to open up your total being to His saving presence. Are you willing to let Him into not just a small corner of your life but your entire life?

God has called you to a specific task and is just waiting for you to take it on. All you need to do is believe and take that first step to become the vision God has of you. . .
At times, when a task lies before us, we begin to doubt our ability. When that happens, let God take over. Tap into His power and claim it for yourself. . .
We sometimes think we can run from our troubles. But when we come to the end of ourselves, God is there, ready to give us the wisdom we need but may not want. . .
We can sometimes find ourselves walking out of the Lord’s will only to suffer dire consequences. But thank God we have a Lord who is willing to give us a second chance. . .
When an army of troubles comes up against you, you have two choices. You can run and hide in fear or you can take courage, standing still and strong in your faith and God’s power, and watch what He does. . .
What desperately bold exchange between your soul and Jesus have you kept secret? What story can you share with others to remind them of His power and tenderness, to give them a touch of faith?
Words have such power. Unspiritual thoughts and words are to stay out of our hearts. God’s thoughts and words are to stay in. For the entire course of our lives is determined by what flows out of our very core. . .
Some of us never pursue our deepest desires out of fear of what people will think or fear of failure. But such fears can keep us from living the life we long for. . .
If you believe you are all alone in this world, you are believing in a lie. Because with God, you are never alone. He is with you no matter where you go. . .
