The Giver of Gifts

Our God is such a beautiful Giver of Gifts!

Some of His best gifts are the friendships I've made over the years as we've relocated numerous times. We've been privileged to be a part of many wonderful church families.

I would like to introduce Hallie Gipson, one of these special friends, to the readers of this blog. You will learn more about her in her "About Me" sidebar. She will be sharing some of her articles and devotionals as blog posts on this site. One of Hallie’s devotional writings was included in a book titled “Women at Southern: A Walk Through Psalms”, published by The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Communications Office.

That book is a treasured part of my devotional books library and I know it will bless any of you who might choose to read it too. If you are interested in obtaining a copy of this book, you can contact Lifeway Christian Bookstore, Southern Seminary, Louisville, KY at 502-897-4506 or southernseminary.4689@lifeway.com. The proceeds of the sale of this book go toward scholarships for women at Southern Seminary.

Thank you to all who read this blog and we especially want to thank you for your prayers. We are praying for you as well and would love to hear what God is doing in your lives.

About Me

Hallie Gipson

The responsibility to write while displaying the truth of His Word is never to be taken lightly. It is always my goal to speak only His truth and to encourage others through His Word and His faithfulness.

As I think back over my journey with the Lord, His faithfulness, grace, and mercy astound me! The salvation I have through Jesus Christ is ALL God’s work. There is nothing about God’s saving grace that I will ever merit. He gave the ultimate sacrifice of His Son to purchase my pardon.

2 Peter 1:3-4 tells us that " . . .His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.” (2 Peter 1:3-4, NASB)

My heart's cry is for others to know the saving power of Jesus Christ and to live in light of who He is! (Romans 12:2)

About Me

My prayers are that each of us will continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that we will each be the good stewards of God's grace and truth that He calls us to be.

God's Word - His revelation of Himself to mankind - is the most important Book in the world for it preserves God's truth, and points the way to relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Over the course of my life, God has stirred up a passion in me for His Word. To know Him better is the goal of my life, and to study His Word is my delight.

This blog was born out of the desire to share the unfailing love and faithfulness of the God of the Bible with others. Through journaling and writing, I am privileged to share my testimony of His mercy and grace to me.

My prayer is that every person would be encouraged to think on Truth, and to study the Word of God in depth. His Word is Truth, and it is reliable and faithful forever.

Examine the Scriptures daily to see if what you hear and read is true: everything you hear and read.

“Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17:11 NIV 1984.
