Which will you be?

Not Certainty But Trust

as it is about trust.

Ready to Forgive, Ready to Pray

If we are not ready to forgive

those who have sinned against us,

we are not ready to pray

the prayer Jesus
taught us.

we are putting up a roadblock

to what God wants to do

in us and in the world.

conquered death on our behalf, 

and that this changes everything.

God Chose All Humanity in Christ

but by following the Spirit,

whose fruit is love.

We are always reaching out for God and each other.

the context by which we understand the world.

Every Moment and My Identity in Christ

Every moment, 

regardless of season or circumstance,

is an opportunity for me to become

what God has created me to be

~ to discover my

true identity

in Christ.

Because Tomorrow May Be Your Turn

Weep with those who weep, 

for tomorrow it may be your turn. 

And rejoice with those who rejoice. 

Same reason.
