For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.1 Corinthians 13:12
Have you ever stopped to think how often we want what is to come later, right now? We have trouble waiting for the best and sometimes we go so far as to try and make it happen when it isn’t possible. But nothing happens apart from God’s timetable.

No fiction can beat this fact: READY?
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD Your God is in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
What if you and I lived this as if it was a FACT? It doesn’t mention anywhere that this is conditional, based upon our perfect performance. Could it be because it has nothing to do with us other than the fact that we are the recipients? I think...

Maria, Thank you so much for sharing what God is showing you in His Living Word! I Peter was a great encouragement to us through Levi's cancer and surgery.
