God’s will

Photo credit to Emma Sturm “…the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by his letting us have our way in the end, but by his making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what he taught his disciples to pray: Thy will be done.” Elisabeth ElliotContinue reading “God’s Will”

Rejoice!

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be. Oswald Chambers I love thisContinue reading “Rejoice!”

Living and Holy Sacrifice

This is a most interesting verse, don’t you think? For Paul, I suppose this may have referred to the ways he was treated in order to preach the word of God.
