Your jokes are funny!
We are so glad you have time in your amazing schedule to take time to share puns and other funny little things with us–things that say, “I know you. I know more about you than anybody else ever.” Just as amazing, you actually have the time, energy, and desire to be that intimate with every person that ever lived. How big are you anyway?
And we are glad, so glad, that you aren’t too “spiritual” to laugh!
Love, Rose Mary
Jesus is a truly magnificent King. He is powerful and strong. His face is so bright that it looks like the sun. His voice is imposing.
I worship you, Jesus, the true King of the universe.

“Emmanuel,
God with us.”
I turned the radio down, driving in silence.
I had to think about this.
How amazing this would have sounded to God’s
chosen people, living under the burden of the law.
Living on this side of the curtain.
God with us.
Not over us, like a dictator, but with us, walking among us.
Strong, wise hands leading us along.
The fragrance of His presence, the joy of His smile.
The miracle of being pursued by the Creator and ultimate Lover.
A few songs later, and again—Emmanuel!
There on the dark, snowy road I stopped. And I sang.
God, the One with us—no words exist to say how awesome You are!

Thank you, God, for Your faithfulness. No matter what curve balls that life throws at us, You are true and You remain sure. Your character is the bedrock that makes our lives secure.

Dear God,
You are so much more than I ever hoped for. Like my cousin, I feel lIke I need to start looking for new dreams, since You’ve fulfilled so many already, and I must find new prayers to pray, since You’ve astounded me with Your answers.
I do not think words are enough, but thank you!
By John Allan
Dear God,
You leave me dumbfounded. You are absolutely brilliant. Thank you for inviting me close. I’m not sure whether to thank you for all you’ve done for me already or to thank you that I’m standing at the edge of an epic adventure with you. So I will thank you for both.

God is a warrior. He’s not passive. No, He is fighting for you and me. He teaches us to be warriors, too. “He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.” (Psalm 18:34)

One of the amazing things our God does is restore our laughter and joy. The season of mourning is followed by the season of comfort. Those who sow in sorrow reap in joy. God is an amazing comforter and healer.
I love my joyful, loving God.

God is the greatest promise ever–He Himself is the promise of an indescribably good future.

We are breath taken. You are here. We love your Presence. I am a kid in a candy store. What do I do? Do I dance? Do I do cartwheels of joy? Do I worship? Do I laugh? Do I cry? Should I be silent? Should I pray? Do I shout words of praise? Do I fall on my face and cast my crown before You?
We love your Presence.
