Whenever you feel small… …remind yourself that God thinks the world of you. Whenever you feel down… ….remind yourself that God things you are to die for. Literally. God sent his own son to die for your so you had a way to spend eternity with him. Joyfully. God did not save you grudgingly. He saved you in his joy. Lovingly. God loves you. He is not going to take his love back. There’s nothing you can or leave undone…
The word God gave me for this year is devotion. Hence I’ve been trying to learn to sit in God’s presence without my own agenda. Just to enjoy God. Nothing else. In January I wrote: “I want to be seen by God and I want to see God. I want to meet God in his terms. I want to spend time in quiet adoration. I want to devote my heart and mind to God. I want to sit in his…
Did you know that “Living God” is mentioned fourteen times both in the Old and New testament? 28 times we are reminded that God is not a sentimental idea or a lofty philosophy. God is a living person who wants to lovingly interact with us. We are children of the Living God! How awesome is that? The same way that the women at the grave of Jesus on the Easter morning were reminded “Why do you look for the living…
What is the difference between a Christian and a non-believer? Not much. We breath the same air, we read the same newspapers, we pay the same unbelievable price for gas. The difference is that we know where our help comes from. I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121: 1-2, CEB) Indeed, my help does not come from horoscopes, money or…
According to the relativity theory light travels from the sun to the earth in about eight (8) minutes (measured by human beings). But I find it extremely interesting and intriguing that from the light’s point of view there is no time used for the travel/light is all the time there. This means the speed of light from lights’ perspective is zero (0) seconds from the sun to the world .This is the message that we have heard from him and…
God loves you more than you can ever know. Like Augustine has said “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us”. You are the apple of God’s eye! How wonderful is that!? Embrace it! Celebrate it! Share it! Here’s God’s love letter just for 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 rise up. Psalm 139:2 I am familiar…
We all need love. We are bankrupt without love because God is love and without God we are nothing. We were made to live in God, wrapped in his love and grace. Until we realize that the very essence of love really is God, we don’t know how dependent on God we are to love. We can’t love apart from God. And we are nothing without love. If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m…
I don’t even pretend to be a romance expert. But I know what real love is. And what’s not. In this romance-crazy world people have lost a sense of right and wrong also in the areas of love. Hollywood seems to be the last word on what’s cool and what’s not. Hollywood seems to be the authority over happiness in relationships nowadays. But I dare to say Hollywood does not have a clue about what real love is. Hollywood has…
How do you imagine God? No matter how much energy we put into imagining, studying, and defining God, we will always fall short. God is more than we can imagine. God is always MORE! Just as you don’t understand what the life-breath does in the fetus inside a pregnant woman’s womb, so you can’t understand the work of God, who makes everything happen. (Ecclesiastes 11:5, CEB) God is indeed more than we can imagine. God is more than we can…
What is God whispering to you this new year? Has he given you a word, a phrase, a verse? Would you, please, share with us what God is doing in your life? The word God has given me is DEVOTION. I feel called to devote my heart and mind to God. Not just theoretically but enthusiastically. We have an awesome God but too often we don’t really spend time in his presence. We have an almighty God but too often…
