If You Will, You Can
Trust requires humility. Asking admits need. Expressing our deepest desire leaves us vulnerable. By seeking a specific outcome, we risk disappointment.
Not Blind, But Reasonable
In the eyes of many, the Christian faith is a leap into the unknown, a belief that goes beyond rationality, like the “wish upon a star” fairy tale. If I’m honest, faith sometimes feels…
Been There Done That
A small hug, a hand on the arm or some small gesture of contact if no words come to mind. A gesture that says, "I'm here for you."

Jesus’ Touch, Blessing, and Joy
Jesus’ touch is like no other. He reaches out to us with the hand of a true servant— with the warmth of deep compassion, with the wonder of tender mercies, with the understanding of…
Being Angry
I used to think that Christians should never get angry, but the Bible acknowledges that we will be angry sometimes. The issue is what we do with our anger.

Your Refuge
“Be merciful to me, O God! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I make my refuge” (Psalm 57:1). Make God your refuge. Let Him be the foundation…
Are You There?
In Psalm 10 David asked why God seemed so far away in times of trouble. I think if we are honest, that same question has crossed out thoughts as well.
Unforgettable?
It's painful being forgotten. Especially by someone we love. I try not to take it personally because life has a tendency to become busy, making meaningful communications less frequent.
The Full Expression of Love
His Righteousness is the character of love; His Holiness is the beauty of love; His Omnipotence is the power of love; His Omnipresence is the nearness of love;
Seeking the Kingdom
