Daily cleansing only comes by ingesting the Word of God.  We must allow it to wash us and penetrate our hearts ridding us of everything that is not like Jesus.

You see, God doesn’t want anyone to perish.  He calls everyone to repent of their sins, turn from their wicked ways and follow Jesus. God will not force anyone to pursue Jesus.

I have seen sacrificial love in earthly fathers; but, even at their best, their love doesn’t compare with the love of our Heavenly Father. God loves us unconditionally. 

You can’t fake genuine love.  Sooner or later, the real fruit of the heart is going to be exposed.  We have all been on the receiving end or we have all seen someone who talked the talk of love but didn’t walk the walk. 

You see, Covid hit our home.  My husband and I both tested positive.  If you haven’t experienced “the Rona” personally, it is no joke.  The symptoms that go along with this virus hit the body like a Mack truck. 

Our family was getting together and my son’s family had just gotten to our house.  As our grandsons were coming inside, our next to youngest grandson came running in shouting, “Hey everybody, I’m here!”  He wanted to make sure that everyone knew he had arrived!

Since the very beginning, God knew that we were in need of a Savior.  God knew that there was no way we could be holy, righteous, and reconciled to God within our own power.

There are numerous other stories of men and women, boys and girls, that placed their faith and hope in God.   But the question for here and now is what do you believe? 

Daniel’s faith in God did not depend on his circumstances.  Daniel had been in captivity since he was a young boy, his life as an Israelite had been taken from him, and a completely different culture had been forced upon him. 

In the house I grew up in, my bedroom was not far from the bathroom.  Every night, when mom and dad turned off my bedroom light and the hall light, it was really dark.
