Image Credit Standing before my Heavenly Father on that great last day will be full of Joy as my answer for living in His eternal kingdom will be, “Jesus.” You can’t build eternal life on anything other than God. Any other foundation is faulty and will produce a sure fall. The way is narrow for […]

Prov.2 amazes me every time I read it.. the 2nd of every month (btw). There is soooo much wisdom in…

When Christians gather for worship, it’s around the things we have in common. A common savior. A common grace. A common spirit. A common commission. The differences fade away. The dividing walls of hostility are torn down. People separated by things like race, gender, and economic status gather around a common table. So why, when […]

The deepness of your majesty
towers over me,
covering me with goodness and grace.

And yet I’m terrified.

I understand that the dark clouds
hovering above –
the thunder and lightning –
are simply a display of your power.

I understand that you are for me.
My eternal good rests firmly in your hands.

And yet, I understand enough
to know that I really don’t understand
anything about you.

Does the fire in your eyes
burn with love or with fury?

Is your voice filled with anger
or compassion?

You remind me that my vision is blurry,
and my voice is weak.

Your thoughts are higher.

And, just when I think I have you figured out,
I see a display of your power and majesty
so “other,” that it pushes me,
face down,
trembling,
unable to fathom all that you are.

Image Credit You are growing toward eternity, and that being true, you must live toward eternity with all of your life. The beautiful virtues of Christ, taught as He delivered the Sermon on the Mount, as He shared the story of the Good Samaritan, as taught in Matthew 25, can all be lived by the […]

Have you ever taken a few random seconds in life to consider which Disney character best reflects you? I know that seems a little strange but stick with me…I have a point, I promise. While I personally prefer to be compared to Lightning McQueen from Cars or Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, I’ve found […]

Am I favored?
Do you look down on me and smile?
Are my opinions respected?
Am I your most beloved child?

Why do your blessings fall upon me?
Sure, I’ve had enough heartache –
enough pain.
I’ve felt the flames of Hell,
walked a few miles of this journey in the rain.

But, ultimately, I have it good
and life hasn’t been too tough.
And so my mind often drifts away,
thinking of those whose daily lives
are worse than “rough.”

Those living with diseases
that, with just a few dollars,
we could so easily treat.
Those without blankets. or shoes;
those with nothing to eat.

I don’t understand it all,
and sometimes it makes me so very angry.
I’m beginning to realize, though,
that these contemplations are meant to change me.

If I’m blessed it’s so that I can give,
pouring out my life for others.
If I have overflowing joy,
it’s so that I can bring joy to my sisters and brothers.

I haven’t been given these blessings
so that I can keep them hidden away in a room.
I’m called to pour out my life,
until I give so much of myself
that others can only see you.
