The Words of Our Mouth

The Beggar’s Plight

I was two years old when I first saw beggars sitting on the side of the road. They were the poorest of the poor in the country where I grew up. Their contorted bodies, sometimes sightless eyes, flat expressions, and plaintive voices unnerved me.

Clay in His Hands

"But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:8 I am His workmanship, on the potter’s wheel, and I am being changed.

Mountaintops

The exhilaration that must be felt and the sense that you are capable of attempting anything in life must be a small part of what we feel when we have a God centred mountaintop experience.
