God's love comes to us for our comfort, not to take away our troubles. If we sought God only to take away our troubles, we would miss the true love God wants for us.

While we feel that God is nowhere near us, we couldn't be further from the truth. Our understanding of the omnipresence of God can mislead us in our decisions.

We have limitless reason to praise God! God knows us and what we are thinking, even before we say it. While this can seem unnerving, it can also be a way to healing. God loves us that much!

When we face the seemingly impossible, we often forget the omnipotence of God. Maybe it's not a miracle we ask for, but still, God can do so much, if we only ask and if we know that He is our one true God.

The gift of salvation is just a part of God's plan for the world.

What was it like when Jesus entered Jerusalem and became 'king for a day'? On his triumphant entry, people were shouting "Hosanna!", exalting Jesus far more than they did Herod or Pontius Pilate. Yet, Jesus was so much more than king for a day.

As adults, we work in our lives, but is the work a blessing or a curse? We have been given work by God such that we are more like Him. Much of the work we do is for the benefit of others. This includes being volunteers. Work is a blessing and a form of Worship, especially when we do our best.

We can make bad decisions motivated by sin. How many times have we done something regrettable out of the sin in our heart?

We as a family of believers can be close and open with each other. As Christians, we should be warm and welcoming and have an intimacy through the Love of God.

We often face the challenge of forgiveness on a daily basis. Forgiveness is a difficult and deliberate action, as we must actively overlook the wrong done upon us. We must let go of hurt, whether imaginary or real. We must choose to end the hurt felt. We must release ourselves from the prison of bitterness.
