Morning Coffee With Michael E. Wells One plants, another waters, but it is God who gives the increase. We provide seeds, many of us water along the way, but God births it in the spirit of those who receive. -Michael
The Pursuit Michael E. Wells has a passion for writing letters of Christian encouragement. With poetic style and moving messages, the reader is often comforted and consoled, inspired, and refreshed. Since his retirement from Federal Service in 2006, most mornings are spent penning letters of the heart. Tucked away in the foothills of Pennsylvania, he leads an idyllic lifestyle in a pastoral setting. This backdrop helps to set both mood and message for his many writings. You can find his book, “Morning Coffee with Words For The Day” at Amazon.com.

In our desire to follow after God, we often stumble and sometimes fall. We condemn ourselves for the slip-up, thinking about how could this happen once again. It is sometimes hard to live with our own thoughts screaming at us, much less the voice of someone else. But in our pursuit, if we would just briefly glance back to where we were, it would encourage us to see we are not that person we once were. Not only are we running from something, we are running to something. The Bible states God intended we would seek Him, reach out, and find Him. Though He is never far from us. But King David knew a secret in his seeking, that if he did, goodness and mercy would follow him all the days of his life. God was also there following, as He is with us today, to pick us up when we, too, stumble in the pursuit.
