Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:2, KJV) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [...]

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning I spend a lot of time meditating on the fact that God loves me. One of my favorite things to say is, “My Father loves me.” And it’s true! He loved me so much He sent His Son to die for [...]

People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa… I never made a sacrifice. We ought not to talk of ‘sacrifice’ when we remember the great sacrifice which He made who left His Father’s throne on high to give Himself for us. ~ David Livingstone (speech, Cambridge [...]

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13, NKJV) But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far [...]

The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.

After yesterday’s post about Mary and Martha I had it on my heart to speak to wives today about the difference this stillness and waiting can make in their marriages. I discussed yesterday how people seem to be in a hurry all the time. In a hurry in their activities and also in a hurry [...]
Mary & Martha
Posted in Uncategorized on February 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Be still, and know that I am God… (Psalm 46:10, KJV) I was thinking today about how people seem to be in a hurry about everything these days. Rushing here and there. Quick to give their opinion on whatever topic is being discussed. Quick to make a judgement on a situation. Quick to get angry about [...]

From Jeanne Guyon’s Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ: Why do converts remain basically unchanged despite so much effort? It is because those over them have dealt only with the outward matters of their lives. There is a better way: Go straight to the heart! Laying down rules and trying to change the outward behavior will [...]

Today I want to share one of my favorite movie scenes and what it means to me. It is from the movie Prince Caspian and it takes place at the Bridge of Beruna. The enemy is trying to draw the Narnian army to the river. They come to the bridge and just as they are [...]
More Than Enough

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks for me. It started with the Lord dropping in my heart that He will supply all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). With that one Word from God, I suddenly felt the weight of all the pressing needs fall off. And the [...]
