God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27

Have you taken time lately to consider how remarkable you are? The mere fact that you are human carries with it the promise of greatness.

Although Adam and Eve’s fall into sin severely marred the human race, people are still remarkable. We are created in the image of God and given two unique roles no other creatures share.

“I have commanded the ravens to provide for you.” 1 Kings 17:4

This is what I discovered. It is easy to get stuck on the E- expressing part of REAP. Venting your negative emotions, and not moving on to A- asking the Holy Spirit the truth, leaves you caught in an emotional quagmire. Change and hope don’t appear until you push through the A and P part of REAP. (Read More)
