The Gift of a Childlike Faith
Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was absolutely terrified of bad weather—thunder, lightening, and especially tornados. One spring night, tornado warnings flooded the television as a storm raged outside the windows of her home. In the midst of the storm, the little girl fell asleep. When she woke up, she was…

The Gift of Peace
True peace is a priceless gift; you are rich when you have it. There is an old saying: “If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive.” Nothing is worth your peace—no job, no romantic relationship, no friendship, not even family. One significant reason why I’m single—I love peace, I mean I’m in love with…

The Gift of Authenticity: Letting Go of Your Image
Authenticity is about letting go of our images in the mirror. Instead of looking outward at our reflections, we must learn to look inward and see our reflections in God’s eyes. It’s not that we should neglect our appearances. I put some effort into my appearance every day. I make sure I look put together…

The Gift of Rain
In the midst of all the storms lately, I have been thinking about the gift of rain. Without rain, the flower will never grow. Without rain, we cannot truly appreciate sunshine. Without rain, we cannot have the rainbow. Hardships, like rain, serve a purpose—without experiencing them, we will not learn how to overcome them. Without…

The Gift of Being Alive: Blooming Where God Plants You
Sometimes, God will call us to bloom in the most unlikely of places. The really beautiful thing about this photo is the fact that someone took a tree stump, a dead thing, and put life in it. As Christians, we too are often called to bring light, life, into dark places. Flowers don’t refuse to…

The Gift of Prayer: Life Lessons From a Ladybug
The sermon at church today was one I won’t ever forget. Our pastor preached on a topic very near and dear to my heart, as it should be to anyone who desires a relationship with God. He talked about prayer. There were three key instructions he gave us today related to prayer. The first one…

The Gift of Your God-Given Assignment
Your divine assignment is the progressive unraveling and attainment of your primary calling in life. It is blessing the world with the worth and quality of your personhood and attracting others to follow your inspiration. (Psalm 139:15-16) As Christians, we all have a purpose here on this earth—to build our relationship with Christ, to minister…

The Gift of Joy: It’s in the Palm of Your Hand
The joy of the Lord is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) The other day, I noticed a beautiful, bright pink flower lying on the ground. I picked it up and held it in the palm of my hand. Its beauty lifted my spirit and brought joy to my heart. What many fail to realize is that…

The Gift of God’s Plan: Seeing Beyond the White Picket Fence
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) The thing about plans—some of us have one; some of us don’t. God has a plan for everyone, but it’s up to us whether…
