Your mind is a complex character. It can wander off on its own. It can fall down and skin its knees as it carries the weight of the world. It can imagine defeat or paranoia or corruption. It can walk back in time to keep you stuck in a moment. It has boundless energy, and […]
Ephesians 1:18 says, “I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called–His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance.” As you rise each morning, you may not immediately embrace the idea of getting your glow on.

We seldom contemplate the incredible mystery of how we were formed in the […]
