Free from pettiness in character and mind…

Even the darkest moments can become a bright, bright sun-shiny day.

God hasn’t lost his voice.  He still speaks.  He still speaks powerfully.  His voice still changes things. 

Our lives are a succession of situations and happenings that shape who we are.  Are we a victim or a product?  

Perhaps he missed his master.  Perhaps he missed the one who found him when he was lost, and adopted him as his own.  Perhaps he missed the one who gave him hope for life.  Perhaps he wondered where he was, and why he couldn’t see him. 

The jailer smells of sulphur and lies.  He wants to keep us imprisoned.  In jail.  Locked up.  Caught in the bondage of the past. 

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

Strength.  Power.  Endurance.  Patience.  Joy.  According to God’s might.  In accordance with God’s might.  In accord with God’s might.  In agreement.

Who have you encouraged today?

Want to assure a happy and prosperous future with one of these balls?  You will need to be able to hit that thing exactly where you want it to go, nearly every single time.

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices…

Father to child, “What would you like the most for Christmas this year?” “I would like a piece of God.”

A wonderful way to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the one and only Christ.

Time, amongst all the other things might be the most valuable gift.  And try to find that one in K-mart! 

Thinking about it, if it’s truly important there’s always time.  So, why not?

It can be wise to take opportunities to consider our past.  We learn so much from those places.

What about a sneak preview of heaven?  I regularly hear people wondering what heaven will be like.

Our scars and mistakes can receive healing now.  Even before the ‘not quite yet’ of the absoluteness of eternity. 

God promises to walk with us.  Nothing.  Absolutely nothing will change his mind.  He loves us.  He loves us so much.

There are many ways to be ‘heard’.  What’s our favourite?  Which do we use?
