DON’T FORGET THE MIRACLES
How often do we forget God’s miracles in our lives? Surviving accidents, healing our loved ones, or experiencing sudden breakthroughs—these are undeniable acts of God. Let us not allow our hearts to become hardened by forgetfulness. Instead, cherish and remember God’s wondrous deeds, for they deepen our faith and keep us rooted in gratitude. Stay vigilant and never underestimate the power of our miraculous God.

Who Tames the Tongue?
We live in a fast-paced world that is increasingly active and noisy. Messages fly over the internet. We speak without contemplating our words or considering the viewpoint of others. It is effortless to respond without giving it a thought. We write words we’d never say face-to-face. Our careless words create misunderstandings.

Upgrades Galore!
God does BIG things! He parts seas, calms storms, heals the blind, and gives us freedom. However, I’m relatively sure He wouldn’t peddle His sacred promises in this manner. After all, this offer is for something more than a penthouse suite, a first-class ticket, or more legroom.

The High Cost of Freedom
We often take our freedom for granted without realizing the cost we have paid for it. Someone paid the price for the liberty we enjoy. In 1944, the Allied forces, including the U.S., invaded northern France. Their mission was to liberate France from Nazi occupation. The official name was “Operation Overlord,” but it became known by its code name, D-Day.

Torn—To Be—Healed
Since I was young, I’ve had to live with my health struggles, chronic conditions that seem to always be there, lingering and never truly leaving.
