"What with Me along paths of trust. The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in Me.

Sept 26th, 2014 - Do everything
"Do everything in dependence on Me. The desire to act independently - apart from Me - springs from the root of pride. Self-sufficiency is subtle, insinuating its way into your thoughts and actions without your realizing it. But apart from Me, you can do nothing: that is, nothing of eternal value. My deepest desire for you…

"Wait with me for a while. I have much to tell you. You are walking along the path I have chosen for you.

From the book Jesus Calling: "Expect to encounter adversity in your life, remembering that you live in a deeply fallen world. Stop trying to find a way that circumvents difficulties.

Why I started this group
I started this group because I found the devotional book Jesus Calling has really helped me. When I started using MFP back in Jan I would do a blog and had many people enjoy it.
