The Witness
“If every one who claims to be a child of God were filled with faith and light and life, what a wonderful witness would be given to those who come to hear the truth! And how many souls might be won to Christ!” Testimonies for the Church 6:64
The Human Body
“The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.” Matthew 11:4,5
The Patient
“My child, my love. Even though for the moment we have been separated by time and circumstances, I look forward to the day when I can personally celebrate your birthday with you face to face. Until then, know that I love you.”
Crisis of Faith
Have you ever been at a crossroads in your life where you are experiencing a crisis of faith? You don’t know if God is leading your life? You don’t knowif you have a purpose in life?
Baby Eyes
One of the greatest moments in my life is when each child extended his or her arms to me and finally smiles and says “Dada”. I look into their eyes and melt. To see life. To see creation. To see growth and baby steps is a wonder.
Knock knock, who’s there?
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
The Turtle
The Bible says this “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:3,4
Wax cold
God is love. When Christ enters the hearts of men, that same stone cold heart begins to melt. We begin to see that the laws of God are not to constrain us, but to protect us.
Possum
At times, we have people that play possum. They play possum at work. They play possum at home. They play possum at church. What do I mean?
Armadillos
As I visit many hospitals, and many homes, I come in contact with people that before you can enter the room, you must wear surgical attire. After the visit, you need to remove the gown and wash your hands thoroughly, despite the fact that you had gloves on. Image how these precious souls must feel. They can’t touch you, they can’t embrace you, and they can’t kiss you on the cheek. They are like armadillos
What do you see?
What do you see? It all depends on you. Do you see the promise land or do you see the obstacles? Or could it be that you just need a new set of faith glasses? What do you see?
