God gives us “the power to understand the depths of his love. We must grasp that “God is Love” and his love sharpens our spiritual vision to do the unexpected and unimagineable.

God hears the prayers of his children, but the peace of God that surpasses understanding comes from our personal relationship with Jesus Christ; not on the relationship of another.
Fear of Praying With People
When someone is in need it’s important we are prepared to help them by praying for and with them. Sadly, too many Christians have an aversion to praying in public. Together, we can learn to uproot all feelings of inadequacy and insecurity.

When we treasure the Word of God, our faith in God is unshaken. The richness of the Word in our hearts cannot be stolen.
Not What I Expected
God granted me so much favor in answered prayers, however, it occurred to me that a few of those prayers were answered in such unexpected and challenging ways that at the time I really struggled to see God’s goodness in them.
Psalm 23

Love is crucial to the Christian life.

The moment we say yes to temptation is the moment we begin handing over our birthright of freedom. Piece by piece, until we are all swallowed up in chains.
Vacation and God
Any amount of time with God is good, but more time with God is transformational.

Throwback Thursday of God
I enjoy reminiscing of the “good ole days,” but I get really excited when I take time to be nostalgic about God.
The Rain of Heaven
