All, but it is unfair in my favor. I have often asked a group of people whether they would like to live in a fair world. Many of them, foolishly, raise their hand. I then asked him to pray with me, “Dear Lord, these people want you to give them what they really deserve right […]

Why is it that, it is always the person who is messing around or plans to do so, who says, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you trust me?” Well, frankly, if I can’t even trust myself, why would I trust you? You are the runner-up “chief of sinners” right after me. I, however, am not […]

Jesus says, “Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find rest! God’s truth is so full of paradoxes. To find relief from heavy burdens I […]
