If "faith without works is dead" then faith with works is abundant LIFE.

If it is impossible to please God without faith, then putting our faith in action must really please our Lord.

What are you having doubts and fears about? Try trusting God in a brand new fresh way! Walk out on that glassy sea and find Jesus there to hold you.

I am personally trusting God in a new way. I am a bit nervous, but I have seen the Lord come through for me so many times in the past, I'm convinced that is pleased already.

I dare you...try trusting God in a new way.

Back from the dead...

Recently, someone very dear to our family was restored to us. It was incredible, I am overwhelmed with joy. Though it was by no fault of this person, divorce and distance had separated them from our family. Now after literal decades, a miraculous restoration has happened.

I am so amazed at how God performed this miracle. Tears streamed down my cheeks over and over at the healing joy I felt. Some did not understand why I was so moved; they may in time understand.

God can do it; he can restore our lost loved ones. God sent this person dreams in the night. The troublesome dreams were the gentle hand that led them back, and opened their blinded eyes.

God can and he will use whatever means necessary to bring about restoration. Leave "them" in God's hands. Never stop believing!

And whatever you do, don't get bitter. Bitterness may prevent the miracle from happening. Keep the door open to your heart. As the old preacher said, "God has been God a real long time and he's really good at being God". God is good at restoring the lost..that is why we call him our Savior.
