Humble, Gentle, Patient, Loving

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2 To be humble is to show a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance. It is not to be proud, arrogant, or haughty. If you look up it’s synonyms, you will see “meek,” “modest,” and “submissive.” To be gentleContinue reading “Humble, Gentle, Patient, Loving”

Where Are You Staying?

How often do your prayers sound similar to this: “Father, be with me today. I need you by my side, to feel your presence. I’m going to do *this thing* today, and I need you for it. I’m facing *this something* and don’t know if I can do it alone. So, please, just come alongsideContinue reading “Where Are You Staying?”

What You Need

Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. ThenContinue reading “What You Need”

Mercy

“Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” Proverbs 28:13 Finds Mercy. Huh. It’s human nature to try and hide our sins, isn’t it? To overlook them as “little mistakes.” It kind of reminds me of a kid and a forbidden cookie jar. A kid takesContinue reading “Mercy”

The Prodigal Son’s Brother.

The prodigal son is a very popular story in the Bible. Almost everyone can say that at one time they were that younger son that went away and lived it up Satan’s way. I feel like it is common to hear people say that, anyway. And for most it is true. But can I beContinue reading “The Prodigal Son’s Brother.”

Words Are Fruit

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life. It can speak truth, encourage, uplift, and rejuvenate another. It helps another along. When you hear encouragement, how do you feel? What goes through your mind when someoneContinue reading “Words Are Fruit”

Tongues of Fire

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. AllContinue reading “Tongues of Fire”

The Gate

Picture this: You go to bed, getting snug under the blankets, and fall asleep. A dream starts for you too. In it, you start out standing in front of this huge, broad gateway with many people all around you going through it. On the other side, you see so many people milling about every whichContinue reading “The Gate”

Washing Feet

Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to washContinue reading “Washing Feet”

Hosanna!

The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkeyContinue reading “Hosanna!”
