In the midst of the storms

In the midst of the storms, uncertainty, and wrongs, there is always a solution. Have faith and be patient; don’t let stress or depression take over. The situation will not overcome you! No matter how you feel, know that it …

Understanding Love 

It’s probably the most misused and abused word out there. I say this because we as individuals don’t fully comprehend the magnitude of what love is. We’ve made it conditional. We’ve perverted the meaning of love and molded it into manipulation. We’ve confined it to a neat little box that holds our own qualities when we really look at it. Haven’t we done that with everything we struggle to wrap our minds around? Haven’t we done that with God? Our inability to fully comprehend His unique grandeur and glory has caused us to place limitations on Him. It has caused us to view God as another one of His creations- limited, bound, and dependent. This isn’t the case at all. It couldn’t be farther from the truth. In this manner, we’ve corrupted the true meaning of love.

Trust

Trusting in God is the single most important thing we can do in life. We are encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust Him with all our hearts and not rely on our own understanding. It encourages us to acknowledge him …

The Love of the Father

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love. (1 John 4:18)

“For God has not given us the spirit of fear…”

Fear is one of the main, if not the major, factor that prevents us from stepping outside of comfort zones. We’ve taken refuge in these comfort zones and become complacent in our lives. We’ve watched opportunities pass us by every day because the voice that tells us we aren’t qualified or we aren’t suited for the opportunity fills our mind. Too often have we let the spirit of fear dictate our lives.

“A great big bundle of potentiality…”

If there’s anything that this package of life contains, it’s those two things. We’ve all fallen in love before. Some with people, some with things, and some with ideas.

“I see you. I feel you…”

Pain, to me, is like being shot or injured. In the heat of the moment, you feel nothing. In the present moment, with the adrenalin coursing through every vein in your body, it hasn’t hit you yet. But when the …

Humility

We are reminded to clothe ourselves with humility on a variety of occasions in the Bible. Colossians‬ 3: 12 boldly proclaims, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” ‭‭Colossians‬ …

Here for Him

There has been countless days when I’ve dived into myself and start a bout on the seemingly wrong things that have surfaced in my life. Or perhaps, it’s a long thought on the various ‘disappointments’ I’ve had to run through …
