Love does…not Envy

Love, in its truest form, is not threatened by others because it knows the Source. Envy emerges when we believe grace is scarce. But love is grounded in the reality of God’s boundless generosity.

Love is…Patient

To say that love is patient is not merely to suggest that love can wait; it is to say that love knows how to wait. It is to say that love enters time without anxiety. Love does not rush. Love does not force. Love abides.Ten years have passed, and his argument has remained my companion in thought, pressing upon me in moments of stillness.

Enkindle - one cent

But when He looked at me, there was no anger, no condemnation. Only compassion. His eyes were filled with a kindness so profound that it took my breath away. And then He spoke. “Daughter,” He said gently, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

Letting go, to move forward…..
Rebecca Fortunatow Rebecca Fortunatow

Letting go, to move forward…..

That stuck feeling is different and often requires action from us. It may be that we have followed a plan of our own design rather than the one that God has for us. It may feel like a good plan but is it the right one?

Fruit in abiding

Time is such an interesting concept and in the face of Eternity and our walk with the Lord even more so.  God's word advises us to use our time wisely because we do not know what tomorrow holds.

I am not talking about Christian hobbies or preferences.  We are talking about focusing more on Jesus, simply to know Jesus more?  Like what was His reaction when….  How did Jesus handle….  Why did Jesus say…  Who did Jesus engage…

confidence in the eternal

confidence in the eternal

Eternal things have to do with both life and reward beyond this present life.  Temporal things can be seen but they only relate to this present life, they are constantly changing, unreliable and will not last for long.  May we seek always eternal first.
