Faith in what He can do
Matthew 8:5-8 NIV When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say…

Look forward
Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. I am guilty of at times dwelling on the past. At times I…

Bloom
In the garden of life, we are but seeds Though it is hard, If we have to grow through the weeds If we are not tended to Nurtured and cared for with love How can we grow And be what our Gardener dreamed of If we are left to wilt In the elements that try…

Inner beauty
There is a movie that I enjoy, although it is not a Christian one, I really like the concept of it. In summary, a man is extremely shallow and likes people based on their appearance. Especially, when it comes to dating. Fast forward a little bit and he is ‘gifted’ the ability to see people…

Time off
Six days a week, he works. Long days and a long drive. Tired, though won’t complain. Energy drained, though still willing to help. He leads at work and comes home and leads us. Although always putting us first. This is my husband and I am so grateful for the love and the hard work that…

Rest in God
Sometimes rest is difficult. We can sit or lie down; but turning off our thoughts to allow our minds to relax can be difficult. We think about our stresses, anxieties, or our day in general, or the future. Sometimes there is so much that occupies our mind that we leave little room for God’s peace.…

Use your mind
Something that I always say to my children, is to always let their conscience be their guide. Sometimes in life we are not sure what to do, what to think, say, or what we should believe. I always tell them to listen to that still small voice. For I believe that the Holy Spirit has…

Only God’s opinion matters
Don’t live your life trying to please people. For the likelihood of someone being unpleased is always there. Though if we live our life to please God, we can have the assurance that no matter what some people think, God is pleased. It is His opinion and judgement that matters, not the world’s. May we…
