“God created the world out of nothing, and as long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us”
Martin Luther
I love it when I’m sent a quote to add to my SOTD posts! Here is what the sender added as an elaboration/explanation:
Meaning if we construct ourselves in our image we are less likely to accept Gods vision of who we really should be.

Good morning!
I have been so blessed to have some very deep, profound and meaningful conversations recently. It’s interesting to me that the more things go crazy in life and the world, the more we hunker down into what really matters.
A recent theme in various conversations that I’ve had centered around how to get from doing all the little unnecessary distracting things to doing the things that really matter. The things that will propel you forward.
Probably ...

“No amount of regret can change the past. No amount of anxiety will change the future. But any amount of gratitude absolutely changes the present.”

Good morning!
As obvious as this seems, I was thinking about how I’m so glad that God is not human and that His character and nature cannot change no matter what.
The longer one lives, the more you realize that everyone, including ourselves, fails short in so many ways. The world wants us to put our hope on a person, money, status, position for our security. But inevitably all of those things fall short. We fall short. We muddle around for a while. Sometimes we pull oursel...

Essayist Charles Lamb on generosity:
"The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident."

Speak life into people every day
Walk in love as a habit
Find peace in who God made you to be
It is always in the anti-culture that beauty is found

Good morning!
Would you like to be one of the few people who seem to hear God and get direction daily? Don’t get me wrong, I know and believe the number one way to hear God and get direction is through His Word. We can be led astray at times if we stray away from His Word to us.
However, from what I have read, heard and personally experienced, the door to hearing God for all kinds of things is flung wide open when we praise and thank Him for everything and everyone - just as the...

“If you are easily offended it proves one thing: You don't have a relationship with the Comforter, because He can kiss you and it will disappear. You can give that to the Lord. You have no right to be wounded; you have a right to be healed. You don't have a right to be offended; you have a right to be compassionate and forgiving. Exercise that right!”
― Graham Cooke
Good morning!
Ask most people what they need to be happy or satisfied in life and I would guess they would say something that could be considered external. For starters, perhaps a relationship, a position at work, a certain amount of money, good health.
More than ever, I can see that nothing external will satisfy or make us happy. All things can come and go. All situations and circumstances change. However, what if we could learn to be happy, content and satisfied no matter ...

No pain is wasted. When I pause in the pain, I discover my true hope and joy. And it’s always Jesus.

Good morning!
Coping in life manifests in many different ways. As I observe the behavior of myself and others, it becomes more and more clear that methods of coping are used by everyone but some are effective and others are destructive…or at the very least….distracting.
When you notice behaviors or attitudes that are not appealing or productive, do you attack the behavior or do you look for the root? This is very tricky because sometimes it is easier to attack behavior than it...

Good morning!
Lately I have been blessed with wonderful conversations with Thalia’s boyfriend, Nick. He was telling me a bit about his thoughts on one aspect of God. it keeps coming back to the surface of my mind so I thought I’d share.
He was talking about how God is a 4 dimensional God and we as humans are 3 dimensional. God has already been in the future, the past and the present and we cannot even grasp the idea of this! However, we have minds that can at least under...

I have found that joy can be acquired like a habit, in the same way as a folded sheet of paper falls naturally into the same fold.

“Martin Luther, when he walked in the woods, used to raise his hat to the birds and say, ‘Good morning, theologians—you wake and sing, but I, old fool, know less than you and worry over everything, instead of simply trusting in the heavenly Father’s care.”
