    • Jesus Makes a Way

      I hear the Lord say: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” I am the way. I make a way. Your today and your tomorrow are safe in My hands. I am the Way-Maker. I carve out a path for you to follow. Stay on course with Me. I will guide you and…

    • Future

      I hear the Lord say: You ponder the future: the immediate and the long term. It is helpful to be aware of the passing of time and to make decisions for health, home and family. But realize that many of life’s circumstances will take you by surprise. But they don’t take Me by surprise. I…

Instead take each day as an opportunity to be present, to recognize the need of deliberate…
