Aging, Another Perspective

632) With each passing day, we grow older. Our bodies take one more step toward the grave and though we can work hard at staying fit, we cannot stop the aging process. In a sense, the opposite is true of us spiritually. With the passing of each day, we grow more like Christ – at

What Growing Up Means

630) In our society, today, it’s not unusual for kids to continue living with their parent(s) into their 20’s or even 30’s. There are many reasons for this but I wonder if some may stay because being a “child” can be easier than being an adult. 1 Corinthians 13:11 addresses this issue in the spiritual

Love is a Verb

629) Some evenings, when my husband and I are sitting together reading our separate books, I marvel at how our relationship has changed through 30-plus years of marriage. In the beginning, love was all-encompassing. It was a time of extreme highs (and sometimes, extreme lows). The love we share now manifests itself in gentler ways.

Unconditional Forgiveness

605) There have been times in my life when someone asks my forgiveness (or vice-versa) but there is this underlying feeling that there is forgiveness but it is not forgotten. Perhaps for this life, it may be prudent but God does not forgive this way. When we ask Him to forgive something, He does and

Reflections

584) We gaze into a mirror to see what we look like but this is an incomplete picture. There is also the reflection of what we are like. Genesis 39:9 tells us that our treatment of others reflects our relationship with God. He says we are to love one another and failure to do so

Loving and Hating are choices

570) 1 John 4:20 tells us that saying we love God, while hating or detesting a brother makes us liars. We cannot choose to love God, who loves everyone enough to die for, and then judge others to not be worthy of our esteem. Choosing to selflessly love others is loving God with our actions.

Love’s Reflection

561) The old saying, “Actions speak louder than words,” is one of those that ring in truth continually. If we make the choice to be selfish, we are not reflecting God.  1 John 4:8 says it’s easy to tell who truly is committed to God. Do we demonstrate love when we need to apologize for

It’s All in Who You Know

523) Connections are vital these days. If you want to successfully get in to the college of your choice or snag an interview for a job, it’s often because of who you know. 1 Timothy 2:5 tells us we have a connection to God; One who makes it possible to be in God’s presence. Jesus.

Daddy!

507) Galatians 4:6 states that God wants us to call Him “Abba,” a word translated into English as, “Daddy”. I am still amazed that the God of all the universe, as Someone who knows every dark thing about me, still wants me to call Him, Daddy. It’s humbling t0 meditate on this.

Restore or Repel

505) Galatians 6:1 tells us when there is a problem among God’s people, we need to speak to that person about it. However, it must be done gently and only after we have evaluated ourselves to make sure we are not doing the same thing. God wants to restore people to Him not repel them.
