Publisher’s Note
“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1 (Parable of the Persistent Widow)
God has given me the blessing of being a part of 301 monthly issues of Good News delivered right here in Central Alabama. He has also allowed that Good News to be distributed in other cities including Nashville, Tenn. for the past 15 years. So, get this- for the past 25 years I have had the privilege of listening to people from all walks of life share how God is at work in their lives and then, share those stories with you. The joy of doing so is really hard to put into words!
During the time frame of those 300 plus issues and 25 years, there were days, even weeks, when I questioned whether I could write and publish another issue. The weight of the world seemed so heavy on my shoulders. But as Jesus shares with us in Luke 18:1, “always pray and never give up.” I spent a lot of time talking to God and listening for His voice.
He finished every issue of the magazine.
Each of us faces challenges in life that lead us to ask God, “why?” and cry out for relief. In those moments, I have often heard God whisper to me through His word, “Wait… wait upon Me.” (Psalm 27:14, Is 40:31)
I encourage you to join me in living life like the persistent widow- always pray and never give up. Pure joy awaits us!
