Wait for It
This morning my husband laughed when he looked in his coffee cup. I had no idea why… A little before the laughing, I had asked him, “Do you want cream?” He said, “Yes.” So, while he was looking away, I poured the cream in. Then, I handed him the coffee, basically saying — here you go… But, when he looked down — he didn’t see anything, so he started laughing. He pronounced, “Where’s my cream?” We stood there looking at the coffee. And after a few seconds, the cream rose up to the top. Only then could my husband see what he couldn’t see before — the cream that was already…

Even before I had a relationship with God for myself, I assumed God must be real. Otherwise, I couldn’t reason why my great-grandma Sudie and the mothers of the church would gather in her living… The post Church appeared first on FaithGateway.

Don’t Give up in Prayer
What do you do when you don’t see results? If you try a craft and it becomes a hot-glue gun mess, do you keep going? If you phone someone and won’t pick up when you call, do you keep calling? If you communicate with a friend but they never listen, do you keep talking? It is hard to continue something without results, isn’t it? Many of us, for this reason, have given up on prayer. We haven’t seen the results we want. God hasn’t answered in time. We question if He’ll come through. So, we give up, before we’ve only just begun. Are you there now? Here’s how you know…
