    By Faith We

    By Faith Hebrews 11:1-3 ESV Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation.

    Steadfast is Your Love

    Jesus said that if we follow him, that we will be hated as he was hated, and that they will treat us the same way as they treated him.

    God is Weary

    This morning I feel very tired. My eyes are heavy, and I am fighting off going back to sleep.
