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

The Gift of an Almighty Healer
It was 4:57—three minutes before five o’clock pm which meant it was three minutes before I’d clock out and head out the door to go home. It was then and only then she started to cry, this little girl not even three years old. Tears streamed down her face, and her nose ran. I should…

The Gift of the Journey: A Tale of Two Camels
Once upon a time, in a far away land, two camels made their way across the desert. The two camels came to a wall, but only one was big enough to get over it. The little camel looked up at the bigger camel and said “You go ahead. I’m too small. I obviously am not…
