In Isaiah 55, God invites all who are thirsty to come and drink from the living water that satisfies. His invitation is for everyone.

We talked about planting – the painful but necessary process for growth. And we talked about flourishing, how just saying the word flourish sounds lovely and fun.

This post was written by Elizabeth Santelmann. Read more about Elizabeth at the bottom of the post. I struggle to keep Truth before me.

This post was written by Becca Lafferty, a high-school English teacher in Singapore. Read more from Becca on her blog. It is a treasure to be in the Psalms, isn’t it? I so relate to King David and his singing, dancing praises to God and his desperate cries of despair, side by side on my […]
Can I just be honest? I love bible journaling. I love painting an image to connect my mind to a verse and getting to share my heart through the process. But the enemy has snuck into what should be an act of worship and spoken comparison, insecurity, and pride into the nooks and crannies of […]
