Brokenness

, ,
God is the master potter.  We are the clay.  Sometimes we are broken inside but this can be mended as our lives can be remade by the master. When we realise our helplessness, then God can step in and do what no other can do.  He can release…

Greenhouses

,
"People who live in greenhouses can't afford to throw stones" is I think an accurate jingle that we hear bandied about sometimes - (please correct me if I have stated this inaccurately).  A greenhouse can be a warm, beautifully smelling home…

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…

,

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…

New Beginnings

, , ,
God makes all things new - so we are told in the book of Revelation that looks ahead to a great future of splendour and beauty and peace and rest - but what about today? Every day is new and a creative gift from Father God. Every sky is…
