Yeremiya 22:15-16

Have you ever looked up and wondered, “How did I get here?” The theme for these guided biblical meditations is being mindful of danger but at peace that you are protected.

It is here that we discover the good news that God has not only made us to be recipients of his grace but has also invited us to become participants in the movement of his divine generosity. We invite you to join us on the journey toward generous living.
