Blessed are You
Doesn’t it feel good when someone blesses you? Let this be the season where we praise God’s goodness where we speak blessings to Our Lord.

Holy is your name:
Blessed are you for ever.
Great is your mercy for your people:

Continue reading “Committed to Holiness”Who Are You Looking For?
When we recognize who we are, it’s easier to find what we are looking for. Once we see ourselves, and others, as all of God‘s creation, we spend less time looking for the material comforts of the world. Instead, our hearts long for something deeper that can only be filled by God.

We have to learn to look at our daily lives, at everything that crosses our path each day, with the eyes of God. This is how we seek God’s goodness. When we walk in surrender and humility, giving it all to God.
