Editor’s Note
Greetings and welcome back HimPower
Family! It’s a wonderful time to be alive and
to be a part of the HimPower Community
that God is building for those who love him
and want to learn of a more excellent way
to hope, happiness and healing. Our hope
is in him. Our happiness is derived from the
joy we receive through our relationship with
him and our healing comes through the
strips Christ bore for us.
In our cover story, So, He Asked You to
Marry Him, Eturuvie Erebor points out how
happiness can easily turn to hurt when the
right questions are not asked and answered
before you say, “YES”. In our focus on
health, Mary Shaw-Ridley’s article, Encour-
aging One Another, shows how the scriptures
support the need for us to encourage each
other in the faith, to offer hope, particularly
when it comes to health issues. Health and
finances are central to Bob Rhinesmith’s
article, Medicare—What is it and What Does It
Pay For? It’s the first in a series to help you
and your loved ones become better prepared
for the soaring cost of medical care. Kenny
Farrell returns next month with more tips
for the gardener in you.
As always, you’re sure to be inspired
by Jennifer Workman’s, I Choose to Rejoice,
Chizoba Anyimukwu’s, What’s in Your Bank
and Juliane Wiebracht’s, Does God See Beauty
in Me? Each article compels you to take a
deeper look inside yourself—something I
strive to do daily.
When I know I have missed the mark,
I draw even closer to Christ through prayer
and repentance with a greater commitment
to try and do better. I am so grateful that
God doesn’t expect perfection in me--even
though he expects persistence in my effort
to be obedient to his will. (Romans 2:7)
Regardless of whatever challenges you
may have experienced or may face i n life, be
encouraged in the faith and remember that
God not only loves you, he promised never
to leave or forsake you. I’m a living witness
(as I hope you are), he does not break his
promises. He is So Worthy of All our Praise--All
Glory and Honor belongs to him!
Are you in need of a miracle? Pray to
God, trust in God and expect to receive it
from God! He is still in the miracle working
business for those who believe.
Blessings…
Carol
