MY PRAYER AND MY HOPE WITH THIS POST

My hope is that this will look like more than just a list of verses to you--that somehow the old, familiar verses won't seem familiar--that the "red letters" will jump off the screen and inspire new meaning, and that His word would transform your heart, opening up a new perspective to how God sees you. My prayer is that it would bless you, wherever you are at in your spiritual journey, and that those blessings would spill over onto those in your sphere of influence creating a ripple effect.
