Believe it or not: fun is good. Too often people think that Christians should not have fun. But if Christians are not celebrating God’s love for us who is? If Christians are not dancing with angels and praising the Lord cheerfully who is? If Christians are not embracing God’s awesomeness who is? Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! (Phil.4:4, MSG) We are meant to love life and the Giver of life. We are not to…
One thing you can be certain of: God will never give up on you. Never. He will always keep his promises. No matter of what you do or have done God has not changed his offer for you. You can choose to leave but God will not go away and leave you. God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you….
I was delighted to see how enthusiastically people responded to the God’s Love Letter yesterday. People seem to crave assurance of God’s love for them. The wonderful thing is that the Bible is full of God’s unwavering love for us. Anytime you want to be assured by God’s amazing love check out some of the Bible verses that include these two little words “but God”. They’re small words but they declare God’s powerful ways to operate in this world in…
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today’s Melodic Monday is a bit different but I felt this would be a nice way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We love because God first loved us! Here’s a love letter from God for you! Celebrate God’s love for you! That is ultimate love and nothing beats that. Nothing. Abundant blessings to you! My Child, You may not know me, but I know everything about you. Psalm 139:1 I know when you sit down and when you…
One of the most exciting things in a life of a Christian is to search for God’s guidance. Sometimes it can also feel like one of the most frustrating things! There sure are a lot of waiting involved. Very often we experience that human beings can make plans but God will decide whether and when something will happen. Like Thomas à Kempis (c.1380-1471) has said “For man proposes, but God disposes; neither is the way of man in his own…
“While others still slept, He [Jesus] went away to pray and to renew His strength in communion with His Father. He had need of this, otherwise He would not have been ready for the new day. The holy work of delivering souls demands constant renewal through fellowship with God.” (Andrew Murray) If Jesus needed constant renewal there is no way we could do without it! In some ways I think constant renewal through fellowship with God is truly what living…
It’s lovely Melodic Monday! The song I chose to encourage us this week is Everything I Need by Kutless. Such a powerful reminder that we need to focus on Jesus not on our problems. Jesus really is everything we need! Let’s bask in his presence, grow in his grace, and share his love with everyone we meet! Blessings! When every step is so hard to take And all of my hope is fading away When life is a mountain that…
It is very easy to see all the wrong in others. We try to blame anyone and everyone but ourselves. We even blame God to make ourselves feel a bit better. But it does not work in the long run. We don’t get any cleaner by taking mud baths. Look! Listen! God’s arm is not amputated—he can still save. God’s ears are not stopped up—he can still hear.There’s nothing wrong with God; the wrong is in you. Your wrongheaded lives…
Are you feeling right now that God is way too silent or, at least, the connection is static at its best? Don’t worry. Help is near. God is near. There is no event so commonplace but that God is present within it, always hiddenly, always leaving you room to recognize Him or not recognize Him, but all the more fascinatingly because of that, all the more compellingly and hauntingly. –Frederick Buechner There sure are different seasons in life….
Melodic Monday is back to the basics: Jesus Saves by Jeremy Camp! Hope is indeed here: Jesus saves. Our life starts when we realize that because of Jesus we have a ready-made path back to God. We just need to cry out for help and forgiveness; God will be there to give us life and more life. Then joy is indeed here: The Holy Spirit lives in us. Let’s all join with heaven’s song: Jesus saves! Hope is hereShout the…
