Encourage One Another

Dee didn’t pick me because I was good. He called my name for one reason only. He was my big brother. And on that day he decided to be a good big brother.

Underneath: Everlasting Arms

Susan was broken-hearted. She had just lost her first child at birth. The trauma of that experience had affected her relationship with her husband and with everyone else around her. She had become cynical and moody. She blamed God

Trials

I don't know about you, but it is hard for me to appreciate our need to go through trials. In fact, trials in life are just plain hard to tolerate!

Overloaded

Overloaded people fail. Like an airplane, we can only carry a certain amount of weight. How else can we soar like the eagle?

Reflections

I sit and I watch in awe, in wonder at the works of Your hands. It’s so majestic, yet so refreshing all in the same breath. Your power so quaint yet well-defined with each wave. You have taken me captive. I can’t seem to pull away.

Jesus Became Like Us

John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and lived among us.” The God of the universe left the glory of heaven and moved into the neighborhood. Our neighborhood! Why? Because He loves to be with the ones he loves!

The Sacrifice of Praise

Why is praise called a “sacrifice”? I believe it is because true praise given in the less-than-ideal situations of life indicates that I sacrifice my right to grumble about people, circumstances and God; I willingly forsake action which ‘comes naturally,’ is ‘only human’ and which ‘everyone’ indulges in.

God Is Present

‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exodus 33:14). In all of life’s challenges, God gives us the one thing we need the most:His Presence.

Cast Your Cares on God

Father, teach us to rest in Your love for us. Too often we get sidetracked by the cares and the concerns of this world. Remind us of the need to keep our attention on Your promises to us. Remind us to come to You when we are worried, alone, tired, lonely, and afraid.

The Merciful

Jesus says the merciful are shown mercy. Forgiving others allows us to see how God has forgiven us. The dynamic of giving grace is the key to understanding grace. For it is when we forgive others, that we begin to feel what God feels.

The Purpose of Pruning

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, ....he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”

A New Name

The saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” could not be any more false. Actually, verbal abuse cuts to the core and wounds the spirit like piercing arrows.

When Fear Disappears

Thought: Write down an area of your life where you wish you had more boldness. Pray for fresh empowerment by the Holy Spirit so you may walk in confidence.

Right Us Again

You shouldn't struggle on your own because, like a sheep, most likely it will be beyond your capability to get right again no matter how hard you try. Press the call button and seek out the Shepherd. He will have compassion and help you get on your feet again, or carry you until you’re strong enough to do so.

The Highway to Zion

Each of us has times of weeping when our hearts and hopes seem crushed. Because God has placed in our hearts "highways to Zion," however, we pass through valleys; we do not live in them.

You Get to Choose

Under grace, we now can obey in the Spirit's power. Even if we make the wrong choice, we have the Holy Spirit nudging us to get it right.

The Touch That Transforms

Jesus’ Touch Transformed. His approach was personal. Although He had the power to simply speak a word or command illness to leave, He often chose a more hands-on approach.

His Listening Heart

We all have a yearning deep in our soul to be heard and understood, love and valued for who we are. Do you ever secretly wonder if God is the same way?
