Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose gratitude.

Good morning!
Some phrases out of the Bible jumped out at me as I sat in church one day:
He grew strong in his faith AS he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised. (emphasis mine) Romans 4:20b-21
I am always interested in growing in my faith and I noticed that giving glory to God grew Abraham’s faith. How often do I give glory to God? I definitely want to do it more!
Secondly, am I FULLY convinced that God is able to do w...

In the Bible God says, "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” God will listen. Not out of obligation. Not because you are a project. Not because you are a charity case. Not because God is checking a box. There’s none of that. The fact is, He created us to be heard by Him. Therefore, He can do nothing other than listen to us.

To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.

"We want solutions, but what we really need are attitudes.
You don't need abs, but rather an attitude of training. You don't need the answer, but rather an attitude of curiosity. You don't need an easier life, but rather an attitude of perseverance.
Attitude precedes outcome."

Always long for more of me.
There are many who are content with so little, when I have so much more to give to them. Because you have longed for all that I have, you will have it all. Your desire for me has captured my heart, beloved. And now, you will see me do more for you in this season than you ever experienced before. Because you love me, I will pour out my heart into you and merge you with my glory.
You were created for all of me. You are...

Beyond extreme examples of running from pain, we’ve lost the ability to
tolerate even minor forms of discomfort. We’re constantly seeking to distract
ourselves from the present moment, to be entertained.

Do not let failure stop you.
Every time you attempt something and fail, I’m still cheering you on. Like a proud father, I watch you with excitement and confidence, even when you fall. Get up! Get up! Brush yourself off, reject that discouragement, and try again, then again, and again. Of course it doesn’t feel good to mess up or to have doors that you expected to be great opportunities slam in your face, but it’s okay—I’m making you into an...

Encounter God in Prayer...
Beautiful Realms of Prayer
Wonderful One, I am so grateful to you for the belonging I have found as your child. Thank you for creating me with a unique perspective. I love how you love diversity. I never need to fear whether you will understand me, for you made me the way that I am. In prayer, just as anything in this life, I am free to be who you have created me to be. I don’t need to model my prayers in a specific way for...

Intimacy prepares you for ministry.
Intimacy with me is the precursor for ministry—the very foundation for everything else in life. Out of your relationship with me, ministry flows. Unless you are overflowing, you will depend on your own strength and knowledge to reach others. I have a better way—the way of my Spirit, the way of grace: to be so close to me that you only do and say what I show you.
Plunge yourself into the ocean of my love. ...

Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
