The Gift of the Narrow Path
Narrow is the path that leads to life, and few will find it. (Matthew 7:14) Jesus tells us the path is wide that leads to destruction. It appears that the wide path is the easy path. The narrow path is paved with denial of self, hardships, and testing of your faith. But along with the…

The Gift of a God-Opened Door
Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut. (Revelation 3:8) Doors come in many forms. Some doors are revolving, closing and shutting like clockwork. Some doors were once opened and now closed, locked for eternity. Other doors are wide open just waiting for a gust of wind to swing…

The Gift of a Heart-Shaped Keychain
Some time ago, I ordered myself a heart-shaped keychain. I needed something to identify my keys, something with my name on it. Each of the keys are for something different, but they are all my keys. In a way, God is a lot like a keychain full of keys. He is the key to peace;…

The Gift of the Trial
Count it all joy when you face trials of various kinds, for you know that testing of your faith produces steadfastness, and let steadfastness have its full effect so that you may be lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4) My father will always be my hero. He was a gambler; he had been gambling since he…

The Gift of a Grain
Currently listening to “Oceans” by Hillsong United God, Your thoughts about me are precious. They cannot be numbered! If I could count them, they would be more than all the grains of sand. (Psalm 139:17-18) This photo is from one of my favorite little hiding places. Every time I would visit, no matter how hard…

The Gift of Such a Time as This
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. (Esther 4:14) I believe we were all meant for the…

The Gift of Being a Woman
Women’s Day is right around the corner, and I’ve been thinking lately about what it means to be a woman. A woman at her best is driven by love not leadership, peace not power, connection not control. This doesn’t mean women can’t be leaders, but it shouldn’t be her driving force nor her end goal.…

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 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…
