By John Dawson. Have you ever wondered what God thinks of you? Is it hard for you to believe He loves you as much as the Bible says He does?

From Lynn Heatley. Lately, I have been thinking about seasons and how they flow with various intensities. And it reminded me of the ebb and flow of waves….always constant, never changing.

Actually, I often do a lot of thinking about these things since I am a hospice nurse and God has made me to live in deep waters! But what stirred my heart recently was thinking about a story from the Bible. It is found in the book of John and it talks about a friend of Jesus, named Lazarius, who had just died…
