Intentional Surrender
Kathi Pelton I was recently having a conversation with someone who was struggling with some areas of captivity in their life as well as struggling with a lack of intimacy with God.

Peace on Earth~ Good Will to Men
Kathi Pelton I awoke hearing the words, “Peace on Earth, good will to men.” It came like a Heavenly declaration from the Creator of the Earth and of men. With it I could feel the longing in the very heart of God for men to experience all that He creates them to enjoy: peace, goodness,…
