February 3, 2025 Small Straws by Marsha Burns: You have been through a rough patch, but things will begin to smooth out as you press on to do what I have called you to do and be who I called you to be, says the Lord. There is no need for condemnation. You are loved and precious in My sight. Do not take unwarranted criticism seriously regardless of whether it is from yourself or others. 1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
