Read moreA Heart of Praise: Reflecting on God’s Love and Faithfulness Through Psalm 103
Psalm 103 is a beautiful reminder of God’s immense love, mercy, and faithfulness to us. As I was reflecting on it, I recalled something our Bishop mentioned during service or kesha: how people who talk to themselves are often quite intelligent.

Let me share something with you, ladies. God created woman from man and presented her to the man. Genesis 2:22 says, “Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.” It was never the other way around—God didn’t present Adam to Eve, He presented Eve to Adam….

Hebrews 4:13 (NLT) says, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.” We might be able to hide things from people, but we can never hide anything from God. His knowledge of us is perfect and complete,…
