Expectations
Bible Reading Today: Jeremiah 26-29
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jeremiah 29:11

Place your expectations in Jesus, and you'll never be disappointed!

Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...

But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
