Daily Bread of Life: Coming from the Heart
Author

Sheri DeLoach

During a period of seven years I was inspired to write devotionals for my website, www.dailybreadoflife.net. During this time I realized God was blessing this ministry and was encouraged by readers to compile them in a book. It is my prayer that the devotionals will help others in their daily walk with God.

    This book is dedicated to my beloved husband, Harold DeLoach. He was able to keep the manuscript alive for two years while I was incapacitated with clinical depression. He did all the things necessary for the process of publishing my book. I am deeply grateful for the many sacrifices he made on my behalf; thus making this book a reality. He was my constant companion, care giver and encourager. For these things I want you to know how I appreciate you and love you for now and all eternity.

    FOREWORD

    THIS BOOK IS A MIRACLE. MIRACLES ARE FROM GOD FOR A PURPOSE. IT IS UP TO US TO DISCOVER WHAT THAT PURPOSE IS. I BELIEVE THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS MIRACLE IS THAT MANY CAN BENEFIT FROM THE TALENT GOD HAS GIVEN SHERI IN THE SHARING OF BIBLICAL TRUTHS THROUGH THE DEVOTIONALS SHE HAS BEEN INSPIRED TO WRITE. IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. THE REASONS FOR THE DELAY IN THE PUBLISHING OF THIS BOOK ARE MANY BUT THE PRIMARY REASON HAS BEEN HER HEALTH.

THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE CAUSE AND NO DEFINITIVE SOLUTION. WHAT IS LEFT ARE MULTIPLE TRIALS AND GUESSES AS TO WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP.

THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF MANY WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO
