  • This is so true. In 2013 I lost a job, a home, and my self-esteem. My family, my wife and daughter our little dog and a big cat, had no where to live. I worried about everything. We had a motorhome that everyone told me to get rid of because is was an expense we didn't need - but I refused. Turned out it might have been one of the better decisions I made at the time. I found this devotional series and every morning I was uplifted by the message Pastor Dion gave. Each time I felt like giving up, I was given His word that was exactly pertinent to the situation. Pastor Dion seemed to be talking to me. God impressed one of our church families to give us a place to park the motorhome and we lived in a fruit orchard at tne end of a row of peaches for 22 months. He gave my wife a volunteer position in the church with the food pantry and while she helped feed over 100 families a week in the community, God gave us food to eat as well. When unemployment had run out, and I still had not found a job, He gave me a job working in a cemetary. Not my dream job, but just having a job boosted my spirit. Throughout all of this, I learned the importance of returning to God what is his. Whenever I gave my tithe, as pitiful as it was at times, we received special blessings of food or gasoline or clothing. Things have gotten much better. It was a season of my life that I needed to have - to be humbled - so that I could do what I do now. God knows what I need. I take what I am given with thanks and I have not been in need since. The two things I learned from that experience are humility and the absolute importance of tithing.

  • Seeing your e-mail today, made me cry. It has really hit home and is yet another reminder that I need to keep the Faith and believe on God. I literally prayed yesterday for the Lord to give me a sign, something to show me that He really is working on this and bringing it about. I know everything in God's time, then the 'yeah but' comes about. "Yeah, but, it has been MONTHS!" Yet, I know that the Lord has plans for me, for good. So, with that, I thank you. Yes, I know that it was the Lord leading you to write this, but you are the vessel, and you need reassurance that you are on the right track, at times. Again, thank you. Your e-mails are a blessing.

  • Thank you for the encouraging word. It was right on time.
