What
Has God Done for Me?
In
moments of exasperation, people will often make the comment, "What has
God done for me?" There is the insinuation that God has done
nothing for them. That God merely resides in Heaven, unwilling to come to
those who call upon Him. Without God, I am a rushing river without water.
Without God, I am a... read

It
happened two years ago. I was toward the end of my third pregnancy and
went into labor at 27 weeks. They stopped my labor and put me on bed
rest. Well, as much as I could with two young daughters to care for.
Then at 36 weeks I went into labor and delivered my son, barely breathing.
He was taken right away and placed in an incubator. We waited, and after
3 days... read full

I went through a horrible childhood filled with physical
abuse and much worse. I ended up going through 4 divorces because I had no self-esteem and no faith in myself. I have been a Christian since my early teens. I didn't hesitate to pray for others, but I had trouble accepting God's will in my life. Some wonderful friends helped me get back...

As a mother, you know what it means to want to protect your children! Well, my son, David, is a missionary in Africa. God looks out for
him and miraculously intervenes so that I can only say, "Thank you, Jesus". I am attaching a letter David sent me previously about a trip into the bush of Africa. What a
Saviour!! I think you will agree that he and the other missionaries were blessed by God and when my children...

a Christmas Gift at Thanksgiving and an Easter Gift All Year Long
"Lord,
could you send some grocery money, I prayed. "And would you do it this
week -- now?" My husband was out of work, and for some reason I

As Peter and John walked down the street
They saw a man who had lame feet.
From the day of his birth, we are told,
He sat at the gate and begged for his gold.
As Peter looked upon his face
He praised God for his wonderful grace.
For his daily bread the lame man sought;
But what Peter had could not be bought...

Go
I was my "daddy's
baby." I was 33 years old, happily married, and the mother of two
young children. When the phone rang that fateful Thursday afternoon on
October 13, 1983, I knew it was bad news. As soon as I heard Momma's
voice I said, "What's wrong…it's Daddy, isn't it?"... read

God
Sends Comfort in Many Ways
Here
is the first thing I thought of: I've been pretty lonely in the recent past.
I would sit at home all day working on the computer. My husband works
outside the house and I don't have any children or even any family nearby. At
that time, being in a new country, I didn't even have any friends... read

The two of us live on roughly $1000 a month, a very tight

still bounces, but hasn't gone over... read

It was a fun job, but on that day it all changed... read

I have a wonderful testimony about my
sister. God is SOOOO Good. Approximately ten years ago my sister
started having female physical problems... ovarian cysts,
endometriosis, etc. To make a long story short she had to have

her and her husband had a strong desire to have children, and
naturally this wasn't going to happen... read

I Will See It When I Believe It
I have just turned sixty and for most of
my life I was not a Christian. I always believed in honesty and respect and in
doing the right and proper thing by others, and that was the correct way to
live. ‘What goes around comes around.’ I knew that of all the rational and
irrational explanations for "things," there was still something
missing... read more
