Do It with Love

1 proverbs 31 20

 

Verse of the Day:   Proverbs 31:20

She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

 

As Godly women who love the Lord it should be our mission to help the poor and needy.  That doesn’t mean we all have to do extraordinary things.  Sometimes it’s simply a kind word or a sincere gesture.  Each of us should do what God puts in our hearts and do it with love.

No Other Way

1 John 14 6

John 14:6

 
Verse of the Day: John 14:6
 
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
 
Through the sacrifice made by Jesus on Calvary, God made a way for you to be saved from death and be with him in heaven for all eternity. There is no other way to come to the Father, but through the Son. Not by works, merit, or personal sacrifices. Jesus is the only way, he is our Savior, and there is no other way.
