Unending Love
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010We don’t know what it takes to run the world, and wise are we who leave the work to God’s hands.
True enough. I can’t add more. 
Sweet Thought
Thursday, April 15th, 2010Forgiveness is not saying the one who hurt you was right. It’s stating that God is faithful and he will do what is right. ♥
A Great Gift
Saturday, March 20th, 2010“‘I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters,’ says the LORD Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18 NKJV
God did what we wouldn’t dare dream. He did what we couldn’t imagine. He became a man so we could trust Him. He became a sacrifice so we could know Him. And He defeated death so we could follow Him . . .
Only a Creator beyond the fence of logic could offer such a gift of love. ♥
Unconditional Love
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010God’s love is not human. His love is not normal. His love sees your sin and loves you still. Does he approve of your error? No. Do you need to repent? Yes. But do you repent for his sake or yours? Yours. His ego needs no apology. His love needs no bolstering.
And he could not love you more than he does right now.

Days of Doubt
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010Psalm 77:11
In 1970, Ronald Dunn began keeping a record of answered prayers and special blessings in a little book. He misplaced the book but found it again several years later at a time when his faith was floundering. He was surprised that he had forgotten most of the incidents he had written about.
As he was reading, something happened. “My memory of God’s faithfulness was revived and my sagging faith began to recover,” he said. “Remembering had restored my confidence in the Lord.” Dunn now encourages Christians to keep a book of remembrance, recording God’s activity in their lives. “One day,” he writes, “it may mean the difference between victory and defeat.”
In Psalm 77, Asaph’s faith was also floundering. After listing his serious doubts, he asked, “Has God forgotten to be gracious?” (v.9). Suddenly he stopped and said: “I will remember the years of [God’s] right hand….I will remember the works of the Lord; surely I will remember Your wonders of old” (vv.10-11). The act of remembering obviously revived his faith. Just read the rest of the psalm!
Why not create your own book of remembrance, recording God’s wonderful deeds? Then read it often, especially on days of doubt.
