Connection
Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and loved. Jesus uses people and connections to heal us.

What Does it Mean to Be Meek?
Being meek doesn’t mean you have to be submissive or spineless. The Master, in fact, only submitted His will to His Father, and yet He described Himself as meek: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For…
