He Will Not Disappoint You!
Kathi Pelton Every morning, without fail, my amazing husband brings me a cup of coffee while I am still in bed. He rises before me and greets me with this “cup of love” each new day. Then every morning, without fail, my amazing Savior brings me a cup of mercy. He never fails to come…

Pursue the Experiential Presence of God
Kathi Pelton God is not your “pen pal” or a distant lover. He is ever present and always available to you. I think at times we have reduced our Beloved to an online friend or someone who we communicate with but rarely embrace and experience on an intimate level. Today I continue to feel His…
