““Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?””        Romans 11:35 NIV

Who is our God? He is distinct from all other gods, one of the unique things about Him is His Independence from all other. Or in other words, He gets nothing (derives no aspect of Himself) from any source other than Himself. This can be seen in Acts 17:25 and Romans 11:35, God does not have need from His creation. So, Gods actions are moved by Gods will, Hos. 14:4. He does because it is what He has chosen to do.

In our world of change our God is unchanging. In a world of uncertainty our God is always certain and to be counted on.  In a world filled with gods that have needs of their followers our God is of Himself having no needs to be meet by His followers. Our God does what He wills for it is who He is, as Nebuchadnezzar said, “He does according to His will…No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, “What have You done?”” Dan. 4:35. Our God’s love is not dependent on us, but independent of us and totally dependent on our God who is Independent.

Cancer...it changed my life forever, this blog started as I was recieving treatment for cancer. Away from my family for seven weeks I started to text my kids each day. The result of these texts are the basis for this blog. So in many ways what you will see, are me sharing devotionals with my family. I invite you to be a part of my family. As Christians we are one family... I love you as my family as we go through this journey of life together.
