Tears are known to us all. How many times has God answered tears sown in faith with the harvest of goodness and joy. Holy week tells us the story that is underneath all redemptive stories. Sow your tears in hope.
“He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.” Ps.126.6 “Conversations Within” ts 3/22/
Recreation re-creates. Play not only gives expression to energy, it is one of the reasons for it. People don't just eat for nourishment, nor do we play only for exercise. If life is devoid of play, life is devoid of life.
“And all the beasts of the field play there. ” Job 40 “Conversations Within” ts 3/20/26
Stick with a good choice. Not only is it important to realize that not every choice that makes us feel good is good for us, but those that are good for us only have benefits when we stick to them.. It is rather simple. If we want a good life, we must make good choices.
“Choose you this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house will will serve
Really listening to others greatly helps both our understanding and compassion. The only way to know another’s mind is for them to share it with us. Even then we may not get the whole story. One thing is for certain if my lips are moving, I am not listening.
“Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.” Prov.18.2 “Conversations Within” ts 3/18/26
The invitation to pray for others is simple enough, yet staggeringly profound in what it means. Jesus has appointed us to be an instrument of blessing to the world, and our prayers are a major way that we can do so. Knowing that we have been assigned by Christ to this position adds a powerful direction to how we understand our daily prayers.
“I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/17/
