Can you identify the foundation of your life? What are your priorities? What are you building on? It’s a key question for steps forward. When our priorities are out of alignment, we will find our footing begins to slip.
Often we can start on what appears to be on steady ground. But when the winds and waves come, we find our foundation crumbles. Why is that? Because our life was built on things that can be destroyed.
Because God is spirit, we worship and love and talk to Him with our spirit. We are spirit to spirit. His spirit is the greatest foundation we can build upon. Why? He is eternal, His love for us is eternal, and He will never disappoint us. When HE is our foundation, He will never crumble.
Things of this earth will crumble. Yes, relationships and careers and finances all have the potential to crumble. But HE will never crumble and His love for us will never crumble. He is a sure foundation.

Cuando conocí a Susie Bell de HCL Ministries, aprendí que su experiencia educativa y su pasión provienen de la reconciliación de las naciones. Asentí con la cabeza, como diciendo: “Eso es algo bueno”. Pero como no sabía de qué hablaba, no insistí, ya que no estaba segura de entender

When I first met Susie Bell with HCL Ministries, I learned her educational background and passion are in the reconciliation of nations. I nodded in agreement, as if to say, “that’s a good thing.” But I didn’t know what she was talking about and I didn’t press in because I wasn’t sure
