Life becomes far less eerie
when I recall who holds my hand
and heart!

We read scripture and know that our Christian faith could get us killed back then. How easily we forget that millions live where this continues today. Believers are banned from living their faith and are still martyred every day. It is not possible to get a valid count of the many at risk, but this could be any of us!
If loving Jesus was banned, could you walk away?
Don’t tell me! TELL HIM!

My transformation
mosaic of brokenness
reordered by God

The dry leaves of my old life
Must wither and fall away.
Even as the wind
Blows the dust away,
It becomes the breath of new life
Whose seeds have already been planted.
Tiny sprouts rest and grow,
Eagerly pointing toward heaven!
