In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

Heaven's Grocery Store
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago, one day I saw a sign that read, "HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE."
As I got a little closer, the door opened wide, and then I found myself standing right inside. I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and said, "My Child, shop with care."
Everything a human needed was in that grocery store. And if you couldn't carry all, you could come back the next day for more.
First, I got some PATIENCE; LOVE was in the same row. Further down was UNDERSTANDING, you need that everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH. I just couldn't miss the HOLY SPIRIT, for it was all over the place.
I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me run this race. By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some GRACE.
I didn't forget SALVATION, for SALVATION was free, so I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
PEACE and JOY were plentiful; they were last on the shelf, SONG and PRAISE were hanging near, so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel, "Now how much do I owe?" He smiled again and said, "My Child, God paid your bill a long, long time ago!"
