The fight
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have had this on my mind recently: What is life really about, if not being a reflection of God’s love, character and image? Life is a battlefield (no, not a Pat Benatar reference). As we grow in our characters with God’s power and help, we must fight our own natures andContinue reading “The fight”
In the midst of trials
By: Ellen G. White; from chapter 39 of Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2: You suffered opposition and abuse, yet God was your source of strength. While you trusted in Him, He sustained you.

Your Future
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we are afraid of what the future holds. We are usually afraid of things we don’t understand or things we can’t control. Uncertainty. It’s a scary thing.

Doing for Christ
By: Ellen G. White “Wake up, brethren and sisters. Do not be afraid of good works. ‘Let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.’ Do not wait to be told your duty. Open your eyes and see who are around you; make yourselves acquainted withContinue reading “Doing for Christ”
The Lord will provide
Based on Tony Evans: Jehovah Jireh-The Lord Will Provide message (click here to listen) Sometimes, a condition to a blessing is action. God provides when He sees us act in faith. Jireh, means to see. Provision requires pre-vision. “It’s when He [God] sees, that He provides.” “Could it be you’ve been waiting for five years for something GodContinue reading “The Lord will provide”
