The Gift of Hope: Walking By Faith Not By Sight
We all as humans have something in common. We live in a world where we will one day be no more. For the atheist, he believes he will cease to exist; for the believer, he goes on. But what about the agnostic? To the atheist—I believe there are plenty of arguments for the existence of…

The Gift of Picture Perfect Peace
What is your idea of the picture-perfect life? Married with children before the age of 30? A house, completely paid for, on a big chunk of land out in the country with a white picket fence? The perfect body? That dream job that you enjoy and also pays well? The freedom to choose when to…

The Gift of a God Who is Greater
My Bible study group is beginning a new book. As we were looking over it together, I found myself becoming more aware of my human-ness. It’s one thing to know that we are human; it’s something else entirely when you feel it, accept it, and allow yourself to live in it. I’ve always struggled with…

The Gift of a Heart Hidden in God
“A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man would have to seek after God just to find her.” -unknown For many years of my life, I held my own heart in my hands, ready and willing to give it to anyone I felt like I could love. My heart was anything…

The Gift of a Woman’s Joy
Lately, I’ve really been enjoying my floral finger painting. It’s really brought out two sides of my personality that are precious to me—my femininity as well as my inner-child. “Some days, you just have to take off work, put on some classical music and paint some flowers.” I told myself, and that’s exactly what I…

The Gift of Loving Lavender
I have a closet full of bright, bold colors; they have always made me feel alive and confident. As I was getting ready for church one morning recently, I noticed a sweater at the back of my closet for the first time in a long time—soft, delicate, and lavender with flowers on it. I remembered…

The Gift of Choosing
It’s what we all want, isn’t it? To have our cake and eat it too. We want to have one foot in the world and one foot in Heaven, but we simply cannot. We can’t serve two Gods. Sin leads to consequences and pain; we know this as Christians. This isn’t “punishment” but a “reaping”…

The Gift of God’s Glory
Someone said something in our Bible study group recently. “We are not the main characters; if anything, we are just extras.” For a moment, that stung a little. Then I quickly realized that was the human in me. We as humans all desire to be the main character, to be chosen, to be glorified in…

The Gift of God’s Fingerprint
I added a song to my worship playlist recently, and I’m loving it! “Fingerprints” by Abi Bennett. You gave Your life; now I am fully alive. You spoke Your truth and tore down all my walls. My life has the fingerprints of Christ. Be magnified through me. The lyrics to this song inspired me to…

The Gift of Being You: It’s OK to be Weird
There’s a precious lady I work with, and I love her dearly. She’s energetic, kind, and yes, a bit weird! I myself am quite the weirdo, so I guess that’s one of the things that makes her so relatable. Followers of Jesus are called to be a little weird; we are called to stand out…
