The phrase, “throwing in the towel” was used in boxing matches when the trainer saw that his boxer was getting destroyed in the ring. The trainer, seeing what appeared to be an inevitable and devastating defeat, would throw a towel into the ring and the referee would...
Don’t rush this relationship. If you are in a hurry you will derail the development that needs to take place. Time is required to help any relationship become all that God intends. It will appear that a great opportunity is walking away from you. This is not...
Lately, you have felt like you are losing your footing. You have been fighting the slippage trying to grab onto something that feels secure. Did you stop to think this might be God at work in your life? You are entering a season where God is disconnecting you from...
