Compassion is my name, my pride, my rope, and my hope for many. Joyous? Yes. Blessed? Indeed, just because of His grace.
We Need to Be Kids Again
It was not for nothing that Jesus used the example of children to show the spiritual receptivity needed to enter His kingdom.

Jesus is quick to remind us and to demonstrate that it is never too late for God.
Miracles of God
People may have the same purposes and goals, but it is the journey that determines the strength of a vision.
When God Gives Us His Spirit, It Is Recognizable
“I was taken to a small hut. The man inside the hut saw me and told the women that his spirits did not like the Holy Spirit inside me. He said that the women should go and bring another child to sacrifice.”
God’s Will for Us

We’re publishing pictures of poverty on a daily basis at picturesofpoverty.com. They are meant to show the dignity and hope which can be found in extreme poverty, if you look, despite the oppression poverty inflicts upon them
