About this ebook
Meditation is beneficial for many reasons. Quietness calms the body and mind. Stillness settles the emotions. Pushing aside all mental and emotional turmoil also allows thoughts to rise freely and without judgement. This story about the God’s permanence was born out of one of my meditations.
A devotional based on a personal experience and Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
