A slice of life is what we call it. It’s a piece of your story, a part of either your present or your past where the Lord has shown himself to be working. Each Sunday at my local church, someone share’s a slice of life as an encouraging testimony to the active presence of the…

God literally is unseen… He gets it.
When have you ever had your own thoughts accuse you? When have you heard voices in your mind say “You are never enough”? Do those thoughts actually have the authority to condemn you? Jesus is the only one with such authority, and he doesn’t condemn; rather, he sets you free.
