Okay, so you’re out there slogging away, working your little heart out trying to live a good life – trying to meet everyone’s expectations, trying, if you’re so inclined, to live up to God’s expectations.

Can we just take a deep breath together and allow that to sink in. God is here with you. His door is wide open … to you! And when you come to Him, you will not leave without His help!

That’s His Word. Fresh … for you … today.
