We take credit for God's triumphs and question Him when things do not go our way; no wonder God sometimes humbles us.
Marriage is the union of two giftings, it is up to us to make the giftings work in unison.
Time tests every action, every claim, every heart and every deed, and justice comes slower than self righteousness; so the guilty go unchecked, but only for a while.

If you make humans your plumb line it will fail you: you will fail. But if you make Christ your measure the truth will find you.

In the end we take neither family nor fame, nor riches or debt; but what we do take is our life's history, which is rich in story, a telling tale built up daily.

Jealousy is proof its owner is not ready for that which it irrelevantly longs for, but the trusting walk into unsought riches.

The burden Christ asks us to carry is small in comparison to the burden He has carried, and still carries, for us today; our obedience is loving gratitude to a Selfless Giver like our Creator.

Freedom dwells on that which frees or is free, so whenever the mind, soul, spirit or Spirit take you to tender territory where freedom is denied, seek the Lord relentlessly.

Disobedience is a rejection of God's love, yet He does not lose faith in us; even when we lose faith in Him, He continues in perfect love.
