Our Desire for God

Our desire for God will overrule any other desire. Our desire for God will propel us where we need to be in God. Because of our desire for God, we long for God, to please Him, to live for Him. Our desire for God makes it easy for us to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind and with all our strength; also to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31). Our desire for God will cause us to push! We will push pass pain, death, sickness, diseases,…

Wednesday's Words to Live by For May 16th - May 22nd "God Makes ALL Things New" Part 3

 

When I was worshipping the Lord I heard, “I make all things new” and then the song came to me.

Wednesday's Words to Live By For February 1st - February 7th "God Is Preparing YOU To Receive"
