Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3

How empty life is when always consumed by not feeling loved, valued or important. In that place sadness is present, depression becomes a frequent visitor and desires fulfilled never seem to give us what we hoped for. Many who believe in God have found themselves living here as a habit of life, no matter how often they go to church. What they believe seems to be nothing more than a report of information. But here is the blessing of grace that will change everything. Grace lets us want to praise the Lord no matter what we may feel on any given day. In this place, worship takes us to a living hope which feels just like a new birth. Praise and worship is the fire of the soul and here our Lord communicates His presence to us. In praise there is no sadness, no depression and desires fulfilled bring joy that blows our hair back. On this new day may you let his grace bring praise to our Lord through your words, your tones of voice, your expressions and your hopes. Go ahead and start now and your day will be called new. Enjoy!
