Moving Forward

Can you trust someone enough to free fall backwards into their arms? I've done it occasionally but it takes a lot of assurance and confidence in the person catching you to achieve it without disaster. I love the idea of living just one day…

Panic!

,
Is this human trait prevalent to us all or is it just experienced by the likes of  the 'Dad's Army' characters? I'm more prone to this and have to guard myself from spilling out and making others panic, too! However, God, as always, has…

Waiting

One of the hardest things we humans can do? I find this incredibly difficult but, as Christians, we are called to wait on God (Isaiah 40:28-31).  Our busy lives are not a reflection of our spirituality - in fact, I would even say that the…

Drenching!

,
Rain can give us this but the Spirit of God can give us living water that comes from God's heart.  Trust that even though it has been the wettest February on record (I think I heard) if we had received the equivalent from the Holy Spirit I…

An Anchor

,
Every boat has an anchor but do our lives have this solid weight keeping us stable?  Sometimes a weight can be a hindrance but when it has a purpose then one can allow for it. God's word, the Bible, provides solidness for our lives. If we…

Purity

, ,
In God's vocabulary it is very high on his list of priorities for us humans but alas not so high on ours unless we get serious at living the Christian life (his enabling totally).  No man/woman can ever see the Lord without His covering on…

Peace in our Time

, ,
Peace with God is the only answer. Our hearts have to have a complete change (that only God can do as we come to Jesus Christ) to enable the Prince of Peace to have his way. Otherwise individual opinions hold and, as everyone's differs, then people…

Surprised By Joy

, ,
Yes - a title for one of C.S. Lewis's books and a good read, too, but are we surprised when we have lots of joy? I am of the belief that we are meant to have joy continually for "the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10)  and…

Righteousness Exalts A Nation

How God loves rightness even when we sinners are far from being righteous. However, the miracle is that Jesus Christ paid our price on the cross and when we come to him in humility and admit our faults, he washes us clean so that in his sight…
