No one ever plants a little seed without a little faith that it will grow someday… One will water and wait patiently and expectantly for the sprout to make it’s first grand appearance.

Is God “My Everything”?
I read a quote this morning that stirred my heart… and sparked a fire in my soul… “If Christ is not ALL to you, He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something, He must be everything, and if He be not everything, He is nothing to you.” – Charles Spurgeon I had to ask myself some questions… “Am I ALL in?” “Have I totally surrendered EVERYTHING to God? “If I had NOTHING left…like Job, would God be enough?” “What THINGS might I be clinging to that is hindering me from letting God be my EVERYTHING, my ALL…
