Bringing Daily Devotions to You!
We are commanded in Hebrews 3:13 to encourage one another daily. That is and will continue to be the purpose of My Journey of Faith Ministries. We are a community of believers who are sharing our life stories with others for the purpose of encouraging and uplifting one another.
Here’s how the devotion ministry works.
We have daily devotions each day for six days Monday thru Saturday written by Christians who have traveled a journey that began the day a decision was made to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Each individual journey is different but we all share one thing in common-we are believers in Jesus Christ.
Our life stories are meant to be shared as a way to encourage others that Jesus will see us through every trial and every hard time in our life thus growing and refining us to be more like Him.
Sign up to receive the devotions here.
Would you like to submit to write devotions, go here.
You may still have questions. Contact Us here.
God bless you as you serve Jesus Christ wherever you may be at this moment. Share your story with others and encourage someone today.
