Weak and Not Persuasive

It’s not usually the way it works in this world. If someone is trying to build interest in a speaker, they would not say, “He’s weak, scared and not very persuasive.” Usually they use words like bold, dynamic and powerful — words that encourage you not to miss hearing the speaker.

Prayer Journey — Faithful

I see the approaching storm on the horizon. Soon it will engulf me. I turn to you and there you are by my side. You are always there, my faithful companion. You have never parted from me dear God. Even when it seemed all had abandoned me, you remained with me. You have never ceased […]
