“But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result…Read more
Day 82: You Are Sanctified
I have recently had a lot of time to reflect upon the journey I have had since I first believed in God. There is a big difference between the six-year-old who first understand salvation and where I am at now. Part of this is for sure because I have slowly grown in maturity as well…Read more
Day 81: You Are Strengthened
One of my all-time favorite songs is “Hallelujah” originally by Leonard Cohen. Why? Because it reflects over and over on how we don’t deserve the grace God has given us, and yet… God gave it to us freely. It focuses on our weaknesses and how god is still glorified when we turn to Him. Thinking…Read more
Day 80: You Are Supported
I have heard the argument that people don’t really need to gather together to worship God so the Body of Christ isn’t that important. It’s used as an excuse to not go to church on Sunday’s. Or even as an excuse to ONLY go to church on Sunday’s. Sadly, people believe this excuse and it’s…Read more
Day 79: You Are Needy
I have been thinking a lot about the different things that are going on in the world. I have been looking at my own heart, looking for anger, fears, prejudice even. I have realized more and more that I tend to just avoid all of it. I hide from my own emotions because I don’t…Read more
Day 78: You Are Cherished
Looking through different passages tonight, I found one that I am not sure I really understood when I read it before. At the end of the Book of Jonah, we see God love the people of Ninevah and show them mercy. Jonah prays, “I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to…Read more
Day 77: You Are Praying
If I’m being honest, one of the hardest things for me throughout this whole cousins virus season has been prayer. The simplest form of conversation is sometimes the hardest for me to remember. Talking to God can be done anywhere at anytime, so why don’t we do it more often? I love prayer requests. They’re…Read more
Day 76: You Are Welcomed
A really well-known parable is that of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-34) – a story probably seen a lot around Father’s Day. It’s one of those Bible stories that I hear a lot, and when that happens, sometimes I get calloused to the simple beauty of the meaning behind the story. Most simply, it’s a…Read more
Day 75: You Are Working
The past few weeks have been full of long days with lots of work hours. I enjoy the fast-paced scene I experience at work, and it’s something that gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I know it’s not my purpose in life, but I am reminded that the way we live our lives, wherever that…Read more
Day 74: You Are Followers
I find it important to note that there is a huge distinction between the moment I recognized God as my savior and the moment I recognized Him as my Lord. I knew from a young age that I was in need of some saving grace. I fought to be the best Christian I could for…Read more
