I received an email from a prominent evangelist telling of an encounter with God that has made all the difference in his ministry. He was a young college student, saved and deep in his call as a preaching evangelist.

Few people have learned to listen to God through His Word as well as George Muller. At age 35, Muller made a transforming discovery regarding his daily quiet time. “I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished.”

As Teri was reading in 1 Peter 4, she came across this verse: "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins." She stopped reading and pondered that simple statement.

In response to the devotional about Gandhi being ushered out of a church, a mother wrote the following:

"In 1995, my stepson spent 30 days in jail for an accident. He was 18. The jail broke that rebellious boy, and when he returned home, he said he would go to church with us. We had moved to a new town, so it was a time when he could renew his life both in life and in a new church.

Gandhi was brought up in a Hindu family, but as a college student he had heard much about Christianity and wanted to learn about it. One Sunday morning, he decided to visit one of the Christian churches in Calcutta. Upon seeking entrance to the church sanctuary, he was stopped at the door by the ushers.

Late one night, Craig Phelps and his four children were traveling in a remote part of the Texas panhandle. They never saw the approaching truck, and its driver never saw them. The children were thrown from the van.

Before our prayers are answered is often the best time to give thanks. David did that in Psalm 22.

Someone emailed that he had had an eye-opening experience as he sat with his wife and friends and talked about a crucial experience he had as a six-year-old that still troubled him.
