Breaking Free From Rejection
Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives…” Luke 4:18 “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32 If you have been hurt or wounded, you may still struggle with thoughts and feelings of rejection.

Need Strength? Wait on the Lord
Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles. Isaiah 40:31 Are you waiting on something and wondering why it is taking so long?

He left us with His peace to grab hold of and hold on to it; His very own peace. Imagine that, He took the peace He had while here on earth; the peace that covered Him and kept Him resting during times of trouble. He knew the cross was ahead of Him but, He remained in peace. He didn’t get fearful- He remained steadfast […]
