Upside Down
In His immeasurable kindness and unimaginable grace, God allows us to see His Light in our upside down lives. On our own, we lack the ability to see correctly.

The Answer to Prayer
You prayed, “God, supply!” What you didn’t know, that I had just finished praying, “I surrender! Please God, use me!” Our paths crossed, arranged by God Himself. He answered your prayers.

Open Me
Open my eyes to the souls next to me. Open my vision to hearts who can’t see. Open my ears so their cries I can hear. Open my life, living Christ’s hope – not fear. Open my arms to the hurt and the lost. Open my wallet not counting the cost. Open my hands to…
