God’s word says that “love keeps no records of wrongs”. “An offended brother is more unyielding than a fortified city, and disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.” Proverbs 18:19 God understands the power of harbored pain in our minds.

Are you a Dixie cup?
Imagine your soul has the potential to choose the capacity of a Dixie cup or a Cistern, or better yet–THE GRAND CANYON! When you wake up and face the day do you open your heart to receive the amazing love of God by offering a Dixie Cup? This visual inspired me. I may feel that…
