Welcome to the Cleveland Baptist Association's blog, your space for connection and growth, where we highlight impactful ministry initiatives, and provide tools to strengthen leadership and service.
Jesus still offers us a complete joy that is abundant, resilient, and lasting. It’s not shallow, fake, or dependent on everything in our lives going right. We don’t need to feel happy all the time, nor do we need to express emotions that we don’t honestly have.
As we continue through this Advent season, let us remain grateful for God’s grace and power that have sustained us, especially in the moments when life feels heavy, overwhelming, and uncertain.
On this sacred day of gratitude, my heart is full as I reflect on the Lord’s unfailing love, which strengthens us, sustains us, and generously provides for our needs. As the psalmist reminds us, God alone satisfies the weary soul and fills the hungry with good things (Psalm 107).
