The Quiet

The intimacy of romance is oftentimes wordless.  So also with brokenness.

Love

"You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving."

Amy Carmichael

"What can we learn from this situation?"

It is not necessary to have learned something through every difficult situation.  It's more necessary that I've trusted Him. 

The True Test

God's Leadership, Covering and Authority are attractive.  Women, children, poor and disenfranchised were drawn to Jesus.  Even the rebuke of Jesus to those he loves was and is inviting.  When women, children, poor and disenfranchised are attracted to your leadership, it's a good sign.  If they're not, perhaps your leadership is not in the spirit of Jesus.

A Father's Smile

The whole earth is made for our pleasure because in our pleasure is the Lord's pleasure. 
All the sights, sounds, shapes, colors, variety, life, etc..  His beauty is everywhere.

Life is Relationships

Sometimes I desperately want God to come down and arbitrate between who is right and who is wrong.  But on the contrary I believe God wants to come down and seek bridges to restore relationships.

The Unseen

People feel what you are thinking.  Think kindly.

Definition

Sin--God, you're wrong.  And if you're right, I don't care.

Hate

Hate is one of the most subtle and deceptive devices because we think it comes with intense emotions.  This is not the case.  Hatred in its most defiled form comes with almost no emotions.  It looks like indifference but actually is a heart with the door shut.

Seeking Peace

"Understanding in itself doesn't give peace! Being in His presence gives peace."

Sally McClung

Painful Trials

Adversity truly is the place of authority.

Truth hurts

We complain not because of our circumstances, but because we are complainers.
