Just Living For Today
God did not create us to carry tomorrow’s burdens today. We know that medical science has proven over and over again what worry, fear, and anxiety can do to our mental and physical wellbeing. It robs us of our peace, and it affects our life in every aspect. Our mind, emotions, body, and spirit cannot manage that heavy of a load. We were not designed to carry the weight of tomorrow because it is simply too much to bear.
Just Work With Me
Let me clarify right here and now: we do not work for our salvation. Jesus sacrificed his life so that we could receive the forgiveness of our sins and this marvelous grace – a grace that we absolutely did nothing to deserve but was freely given to us.
The Assignment
You may have yet to discover exactly what God has destined for you to be – your place in this world. In fact, you may even feel like you are floundering around trying to figure out exactly what you are supposed to do. Take heart! You are not alone!
He’ll Never Let Go
God’s Word assures me that no matter how this life rages around me, I am held in the Father’s hand, and nothing can “snatch” me away.
Grace in the Recall
When faced with crisis or trauma, I process it all by talking/praying out my feelings of frustration, thoughts, questions, rants, cries of anguish and heartaches. And, eventually, my words and cries slow down, my heart shifts focus, and it’s then that I begin to remember where my faith rests and in who I place my hope and trust in.
Givers & Takers
Are you a giver? A taker? An observer? I believe that whether a Christian or not, this is a valid question for all of us to ask ourselves. Why? Because how we answer this self-evaluation will directly affect the impact of all of those in our realm of influence.
Flowers & Oceans
The older I get, the more I realize that it is all of this filled with its ups and downs and “God-wink” moments that make this journey called life truly a gift from God.
Believe? - That is the Question
And thousands of years later, the question still stands, “Do you believe this?” Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Do you believe that he came to this world, born of a virgin? Do you believe that Jesus lived as a man and died on a cross to pay the price for our sins? And then three days later, Jesus was resurrected providing the way for us to have eternal life?
What will it be?
Jesus sees you. Jesus loves you. And yes, today, Jesus presents the same message of truth to whosever will receive it: follow me.
Easter
The message of the Cross and the Resurrection is more than a good story. It is the essence of the Gospel – the message of hope for this world. Because Jesus loved us so much that He laid down His life, we have been granted a gift that is freely given to all who will believe on the Lord Jesus and receive eternal life.
