Have you ever been hurt so badly you thought your heart was ripping from your chest? I have. As I began to heal, I thought I was doing the right thing by praying for those who hurt me. After all, isn&#8217;t that the best form of loving your enemy? One night as [...]]]></description>

Do you ever find yourself asking, “What is my purpose?” Take joy in knowing God created each of us to be His Designer Originals. In other words He created you and me for a very specific purpose. He has a plan for us yet we so often choose to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Cheri Cowell -
Cause and effect is a principle we learn early in school. We quickly learned, for instance, if we do not put in the study time, we will not affect a good grade.

Last month my Dad died. He lived a long life and arrived at heaven’s gate in his 81st year. As I began to reflect on his life, I think the thing that stands out to me is that he lived a life of faithfulness—in his marriage, in his life, and to his [...]]]></description>

The previous driver had left us to drive on fumes. I told my older son to pray we’d make it to the gas station [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hunger for a personal renaissance, a renewal of the Spirit in my life—and of my spirit. God has been showing me that.
Through lots of hard knocks I’ve lost vitality in what I do, with poor results and diminished passion. Some kindly disagree, but I hunger for more. And, as you may imagine, this has [...]]]></description>

For seven months, her husband chose to have no contact with his family nor provide for them. Churches, family, friends and even strangers jumped in to meet her bills and provide for her.
