“As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance” (1 Peter 1:14). Peter’s words are simple, but they reach deep into the heart.

Sometimes God places something on our hearts that we do not fully understand at first. It may come as a burden, a picture, a promise, or a deep sense that He is trying to get our attention.
