Perfect Dad

Good morning!

Yesterday I had posted a devotional I enjoy and the focus was on child-like faith. That has been something I have spent a lot of time thinking about. I would guess most of the world would call that foolish. I call it freedom.

I spent a lot of time researching the Bible, what I believe and why I believe it. Having decided that my faith is grounded in solid belief, I don’t feel the need to continue to question. I can be childlike in knowing that I have a good Dad. A ...

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

Joy

I Hear His Whisper...

In childlike faith, joy is restored.

What you’ve been looking for is right before your eyes. You only need to become a child again. Life has left you holding a bag of unbelief. But I am replacing that unbelief with a gift of faith, if you will dare to believe. You will no longer walk around in chains, held captive from the abundant life I have planned for you. Though you’ve been robbed of your childlike faith and imagination, I will restore you. ...

“I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.”

Good morning!

As Oswald Chambers says, “May Jesus’ life be worked out in us exactly like it was worked out in His life while here on earth.  May our human flesh be kept in perfect submission to Him, allowing Him to work through it moment by moment.”

As I look at the world and all that is going on AND those who claim to be Christian (including me!), I wonder and ponder about what it would look like if we went through our days the way Jesus did. Sometimes religion puts on...

God's address

Good morning!

I heard this recently and it made me smile and pause: “God’s address is at the end of our rope!”

How often this is true for so many of us! When we come to the end of all of our own solutions and plans that may not have gone as planned, then we sometimes get this revelation that God has always been there, we just couldn’t see it until we get to the end of our rope!

Thankfully, He is patient and merciful and overflowing with lovingkindness. He is always a...

“Gratitude is an antidote to negative emotions, a neutralizer of envy, hostility, worry, and irritation. It is savoring; it is not taking things for granted; it is present-oriented.– Sonja Lyubomirsky

...

There is something unique about the life of a believer. Something dynamic and mystifying yet often misunderstood. It is the way we find freedom, by committing our lives to the Lord. It seems like an oxymoron—this lifestyle of surrender that actually bestows true indulgence upon us because it leads to the joy and peace only he can give.

Yielding to the Lord, surrendering all that we are, have been, and hope to be, actually extricates us from the snags that grip our souls. Frees us from...
