Such a beautiful verse. Something to contemplate. How do we imitate Christ’s love? He gave himself up for us, so what do we give up for him? What do we sacrifice that can be a fragrant offering to God? Thank you, Jesus, for your ultimate offering, pleasing to God and saving us. Show us theContinue reading “God’s Answer”

God Loves You
Such a wonderful verse and such a great reminder that God loves all his children, even when we appear unlovable to others. Lord, help me to remember that You love ALL Your children, even ones who don’t appear so nice. Help me to see them through Your eyes and to offer them Your grace, love,Continue reading “God Loves You”
Yielding to Jesus
This verse came up in Sunday’s sermon. Oh, the humility of John, deferring attention from himself to his Savior. Father, make me humble like John, always bringing the attention to the Lamb of God, the one who has saved me and gifts me with so many wonderful spiritual gifts. Praise God!
King Over the Earth
What a wonderful day that will be! Thank you, Lord, for your promises. I ask you to grow my faith, so that however life’s circumstances may appear to be, I will always trust in You and Your plans.

A basketball bounces off the cement court; the clang as it hits the backboard echoes across the grass. A Cessna drones, far overhead.Continue reading “The Stagnant Pond”
Forgive One Another
In today’s climate of anger and hatred toward those who disagree with us, this is a wonderful verse to remember. What a challenge. Not only does it ask us to be kind and tenderhearted and to forgive each other, it asks us to do it just as God as forgiven us. Now that’s a challenge.Continue reading “Forgive One Another”
Walking the Nature Trails
The path opens to a clearing larger than a football field. Waist high brome grasses sway slightly in a gentle waltz with the faint breeze. Nearby branches merely watch, too heavily laden with yellow-green hedge apples to dance. On the far side of the field lies a painter’s palette of trees just beginning to showContinue reading “Walking the Nature Trails”
