    50 Reasons Why God is So Wonderful

    Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your problems?  I know I do at times.  Sadly, I have to admit that there are even occasions when I allow Satan to feed me his contaminating lies, and I start to feel hopeless of muddling through life.   Gloom and doom are Satan’s dirty lies that he enjoys feeding us.

    A Stubborn Stained Has Been Washed Away

    Have you ever been frustrated by a stubborn stain that just wouldn’t budge?  I’ve been especially frustrated  when it was a favorite garment of mine that I loved to wear.  Sometimes, I opted to continue wearing it with the stain,  but that stubborn-stained piece became one of those garments that was forbidden to leave the house.  You know, one of those… lounge-around-at-home-in-your-frumpy-clothes piece.  Eventually, that piece gets set aside for donation because it becomes way too  “tattered” and “stained.” I’m so glad that God’s power to wash away sins are not on the same level as my weak skills of washing away stubborn stains.  God’s washing power cleanses away the…
