This brief devotional is designed to be a spring board that will draw the reader to walk more hand-in-hand with the Lord. In so doing, your influence or new found burden for others may have a greater impact in your church/community. The texts that were chosen came from my won need and failing spiritual relationship. My prayer is that both of us may be encouraged and grow in spiritual matters whereby we may be of assistance to others, (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
