A Grateful Heart
I am convinced that a grateful heart is the most sacred and precious gift God gives us. In the story of the 10 lepers only 1 came back to thank Jesus after they were healed. I’m wondering if they were so elated they forgot. But if you had leprosy and were healed wouldn’t you find […]
Do We Believe God?
Faith comes from hearing and hearing the Word of God. We all long to have more faith so that our lives will be peace filled. If we can take our burdens to God with certainty that He will carry them, we will live in the beauty of true surrender. The question is that we sometimes […]
The Ultimate Act of Love
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends John 15:13 Today is Memorial Day. It is the day we as Americans honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who selflessly gave of their lives for our country. It is the day we remember and […]
Glass Ceiling
Good morning making space for God friends. We are a community of Christian believers who focus on ensuring that we follow Jesus’ command to seek His kingdom first above all else and He will then provide what we need. It is hard though. So many things pull us in different directions. Following Jesus at the […]
Motherhood, God’s Painful Priviledge
“I am the Lord’s servant…May your word to me be fulfilled.” Luke 1:38 Mary was a just a young girl when the angel, Gabriel, appeared to her in Nazareth. A virgin, betrothed to a man named Joseph, Mary found the angel’s presence puzzling and frightening. Gabriel, however, brought an important message from God, just as […]
Whom Shall I Fear?
Let’s face it, there is no one on the planet who has not experienced fear. The definition of fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. Fear is something that we all have in common. It is unpleasant, often threatening, sometimes founded and […]
Getting Rid of the Junk in Our Lives
I am renting a cottage on the harbor in Charleston SC and this morning I watched as a cargo ship left our port filled with goods and another one came to port ready to be unloaded. As I watched the two ships pass one another, it occurred to me that this is much like our […]
Moving in a Godward Direction
When God wrote the Bible, do you think He knew that one day we would be sitting in a room with others studying His word, applying the lessons learned through His people, and challenging ourselves to grow deeper in our understanding of who we are as His children? I would say, absolutely! I believe His […]
Your Testimony
This week we’re looking at the last chapter in the book of Joshua, and we’re meditating on the power of our testimony. As we’ve studied this book of scripture, we’ve repeatedly seen that God is faithful to his people. We’ve also seen Joshua faithfully serve God, and here we are at the end of his […]
Joy in the Suffering
Who in their right mind would say that there is joy in the suffering? Only someone who is lying or in denial? The Apostle Paul, (whose life changing encounter with Jesus reads more like a horror show….. beaten, ship-wrecked, etc) wrote about joy in the suffering and he was not lying and was not in […]
