Beneath the juniper…
Go deeper again
Here’s the thing: to the degree that you were not loved by a human being, you were loved by God.
The default of abuse
We walked cautiously, carefully, with heightened anxiety. This was our normal.
Rise today, please
What goods did you give to the world yesterday through the decisions you made, the thoughts you dwelled on, the words you voiced, the deeds you carried out? What goods will you give the world today?
Good Friday
What does this have to say to our own suffering, our own anger and disaffection for God? Doesn’t it just deepen it?!
Pulling Heaven here
We’re not here on this earth to suffer until we get to Heaven. We are to participate with God to pull Heaven here!
God wasn’t there
You may have prayed long and hard, without response. You may have felt a deep, wrenching disappointment as your young eyes searched for the God someone told you would come.
The power of knowledge
God will use whatever is at hand in our lives to reach deep inside and ignite our power.
It was Christ
When God attaches His grace to such an image, the effectiveness of that image becomes immeasurable!
