Beautifully Broken – Forever

The truth is, you will never come even close to knowing Gods love until you fully realize your own brokenness. We may try to hold our broken lives together on our own strength by our own means in order to “Save Face”, but only the blood of Christ can truly hold all those broken pieces…
Beautifully Broken the Early Years

I was quite a lonely child growing up. In fact I feel that loneliness has produced the greatest ongoing pain in my whole life. I was the youngest and my next older sibling was my brother who was 6 years older than I. I was definitely not in his circle of friends to hang out…
Remember what is important.

I wanted to reflect on the dream I had last night. I was at home with my 2 young daughters. It was stormy outside but nice and warm inside. My younger daughter was playing with 2 balloons she had received the previous day. She was happy and contented. The balloons had lost much of their…
Where we go ONE we go ALL

This phrase reminds me of the “Band of Brothers” who are united in love of their cause and their love for each other. Similar phrases are like “One for all and all for one”. We have a choice. Follow the ONE who sinned, or follow the ONE who paid the price of sin in this…

HELP BEAR UP THE WEAK

Romans 15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you…
The Weak and the Strong

Romans 14 1. Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2. One man’s faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not…
LIVE IN THE LIGHT

Romans 13 Submission to the Authorities 1. Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so…
