I can and should be Under obligation and m‚tier hard to emerge my God-given gifts of talent and remedy sure I use those talents in ways that Commend His Name. Providing suitable my parentage and achieving trade prosperity at near treating people passably and with property regards and not letting avariciousness, power or amour propre cloud my assessment
I was afraid that people might think less of me or it might even hurt my business. Well, I took a chance recently and asked some friends/business associates I had not seen for awhile, if they would be interested in receiving this daily devotional email. I was so pleasantly surprised that many were receptive and thankful.

This transcends economic downturns, depressions, heartaches, sickness and death. We get to be in this universe with God. And we don’t have to wait until we die to realize it. We can realize it now. Regardless of what we might be currently experiencing.
