Just me trying to be honest with God.

Whatever it is, turn it into a reason to talk with God.

Grateful? Give thanks! Sad? Pour your sorrows out to Him. Happy? Rejoice! Worried? Stop it and turn your concern over to the Father who loves you. Tempted? Draw close to Him and He will draw close to you. Lacking wisdom? Ask for what He gives most freely.

”I have given God a million reasons not to love me. None of them changed His mind.” Facebook Post from a friend

 Because it is the nature of love to “never cease,” I believe that when God sets His love on someone, it is forever. How could a person loved by God not be joined to Him in eternity? God’s love is our only hope of a future worth having.

"Don't bother me, I'm busy," said the ostrich with its head in the sand.

There are things that bother me that shouldn’t, and things that don’t bother me but probably should. Being a member of the tribe of humanity has its responsibilities.

”Easy does it.”

Recently a good friend nudged me with a post and gently wrote “Easy does it.” What a refreshing reminder that possessing and practicing an“easy” attitude may be all that is needed to get something done. Walk it with ease and grace.

“It’s complete surrender.” Eric Liddell

The cross of Christ saves us in several ways. One is the free gift of forgiveness God offers each of us His Son paid for our sins so we don’t have to. Another way we are saved is when we take up our cross and voluntarily surrender to following Christ in love. Voluntary love is true freedom.
