Jessie's Corner

Quite often, when we read the Bible, we see the big themes that we have heard over the years: do right, don't do wrong, love your neighbor, and turn the other cheek. Jessie's Corner takes some of the less well-known scriptures and shows how they too can impact your life. Sometimes the big themes find support in the small acts that we do every day. These essays show applications of those small pockets of wisdom in our daily lives. Some days, the best we can say is that we've managed to stay away from sharp objects or explosives. It's possible to take those difficult days and lighten them by giving hope and showing that we do not go through them alone. Everyone feels discouraged and hopeless at times. It takes courage and faith to do something while being afraid. You can find courage and faith by connecting with God as a friend. This collection of meditations uses lesser-known scripture passages to explore ways to create a personal relationship with God and demonstrate that small acts can affect you in big ways.
