Hope-Filled Sunday: God’s Love Endures Forever

Hope-filled Sunday!   Happy Sunday! Here’s another verse from my devotional book.     Humans are imperfect beings. And life doesn’t always turn out the way we expect it to.

Hope-Filled  Sunday: Consider It Pure Joy

Hope-filled Sunday!     Happy Sunday! Here’s another verse from my devotional book.     This verse is sometimes misinterpreted. James isn’t telling us that we should be happy about every situation we encounter in life. That’s unrealistic. James knew that, and so does Jesus.
