Teabags

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 12, 2018

A Christian is like a teabag, not worth much until its been through some hot water.

Opportunity

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 11, 2018

The reason some people don’t recognise opportunity is because it comes disguised as hard work.

Strength

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 10, 2018

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall ran and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.  Is 40:31

Knee worship

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 9, 2018

A man is what he is on his knees before God and nothing more.  Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Constant Love

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 8, 2018August 8, 2018

I rely on Your constant love, I will be glad because You will rescue me, O Lord, because You have  been good to me. Ps 13:5-6

Dear God

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 7, 2018August 7, 2018

Dear God, What are You up to today. May I be part of it.

Cannot be Separated

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 6, 2018August 6, 2018

For I am convinced that nothing can separate us from His love; death can’t and life can’t. The angels won’t and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God’s love away.

Romans 8:38

Seeking the Lord

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 5, 2018

I sought the Lord and He answered me and He delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 31:4

Eye or Heart

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 4, 2018August 4, 2018

Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart.

Each Step

Carol Purves Carol's Blog August 3, 2018August 3, 2018

The steps of good men are directed by the Lord,He delights in each step they take.

Psalm 37:23
