World Leprosy Day

This day is a great reminder for us to reach out and give to, or get on our knees and pray for "the least of these". (Matthew 25)

Leprosy is a chronic bacterial disease that is not highly contagious, contrary to popular belief, and is treatable with the right resources. Unfortunately, many people in developing countries do not have access to treatment and are shunned by society.

World Leprosy Day is held to increase awareness and to reach those affected by leprosy. For this day, Gospel for Asia-supported missionaries will be ministering at many leprosy colonies, spreading the love of Christ through practical gifts to bless the leprosy patients and their families.

Please pray for the various ministries that will take place on this day—that the Lord's love for the leprosy patients would be evident through the believers' actions. See ways you can pray.

The Entire Bible in 30 Minutes?!

 Yes, the video below is Genesis through Revelation (Page made possible by Compass Pointes!)

I thought this was very interesting. I hope you do too.

Amazing.

I cannot comprehend, cannot wrap my mind around this overwhelming love and grace from above. The perfect goodness of our Creator given to the most undeserving but most loved creation.

"as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." 2 Peter 1:3-4

I read and re-read these verses, and the Love of my life leaves me awe-struck.

This incredible, difficult, beautiful life is filled with His "exceedingly great and precious promises" though I am so undeserving and fail so often He is always, always faithful.

May you draw nearer to Him this week. Though it may be hard and you may be brought to your knees countless times, He knows everything you have suffered, and are suffering and He is there with you and understands it all. His grace is sufficient, His strength made perfect in our weakness. Call out to Him, talk with Him more. He is eager to spend one-on-one time with you as a bridegroom savors time with his bride.

He is so deserving of anything and everything we can give to Him.
