OUR GIFTS

In our daily living, it is vital that we each share the gifts we have been given to help build up the Body of Christ which we belong to.

By doing that, we are working in harmony with our Creator to shine His love and mirror His image to our fellow pilgrims that we are journeying with.

Often I think it is easy to fall into the trap and lie of believing that we don’t have any “special” gifts to share.  No, we do not have to go overseas to be a Missionary to have a gift to share.

We ALL have been given gifts to edify the Body of Christ and be used for God’s glory. Continue reading “OUR GIFTS”

THROUGH HIS POWER

Do you agree that one of the hardest things to do is to remain calm and peaceful through the trials of this life?

The world truly needs to see Christians as being different—trusting God, possessing and expressing joy and peace even during the rough, rocky times.

PRESENT MOMENT

God is always at work in our lives perfectly orchestrating each moment!!

How I am grateful when I stop to take time to reflect on that each day, maybe even taking time to share that with others to hopefully encourage and inspire their lives too! Continue reading “PRESENT MOMENT”

PERSPECTIVE

The way we live life on this earth is so dependent on our perspective…the outlook we have on life and its many experiences!

I am sure you already know that but sometimes it is easy to lose our focus so let this be a quick check up to make sure your perspective is still on the right track.  🙂 Continue reading “PERSPECTIVE”

CHOICES

Our life on this earth is filled with choices!

God has given us the freedom of free will which applies to both simple, daily choices and long lasting life altering choices that impact the Kingdom of God. Continue reading “CHOICES”

LISTEN

Do you often feel like you and God are able to solve all your problems yourself? Maybe that you really don’t need a “human” to share with?

Is it because maybe you have been hurt one too many times by someone not holding your words in confidence or fear of being misunderstood?

Or is it too hard to be vulnerable and open with someone because you don’t want to be wounded somehow? Continue reading “LISTEN”

THE LOVING FATHER

One of the most well known Bible stories, I have to believe, is the one found only in Luke’s gospel which is entitled The Parable of the Lost Son or The Prodigal Son.  I was recently reading some thoughts about the story and agree that it almost seems like a better title for the story would be “The Loving Father.” Continue reading “THE LOVING FATHER”

RESURRECTION POWER

Isn’t the Easter season the most beautiful, powerful time of the year when we really celebrate the centrality of our faith?

Yes, even a little more special than Christmas when we celebrate Jesus’ birth on this earth as a human.

Easter is where the center of our faith resonates!

THE CROSS

This Lenten and Easter season has inspired me to reflect on one of the best know symbols of Christianity and our faith—the CROSS.

I believe this song, Meanwhile Back at the Cross, by Gordon Mote, is a perfect introduction and focus for these thoughts. Continue reading “THE CROSS”

OBEDIENCE

Jesus chose to model the ultimate act of obedience to God, His Father, for YOU… And me!!

Isn’t that a powerful thought to reflect on especially as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter in the coming week? Continue reading “OBEDIENCE”
