Kent’s Wish, As I am putting this blog out this morning I wish I could know everyone of your hearts so that I could send you each a word of encouragement from the bible. But I don’t know all of your hearts! I know some are hurting, some have fear, some have anger and maybe some resentment or jealousy. Some I pray are full to the brim with joy, peace and love. I don’t know your hearts, but Jesus does. He has the perfect word for you. He has the right path for you. He has the strength you need and the courage you need to carry on for another hour, another day, another week, a month, another year. He knows what “Can Be” with your life.  It is the “What Can Be” that we need to discern, uncover, and reveal to ourselves and that can only happen when we seek Jesus’ plan for our everyday living. We all need to walk closer, follow closer and listen carefully to Jesus as He leads us through this life. It is with Him that we will live our highest calling and fulfill our purpose which will bring us our deepest peace and fulfillment.
