Rest in God

I haven't posted here in a while. Perhaps because I've been writing a devotional 2 or 3 times a week for my church. You can check those out at https://open.spotify.com/show/7isrTWncfDCFUMXG8WRaQf if you don't already listen. Today though I just want to write at the end of a weekend of rest. My children were away for … Continue reading Rest in God →

Humble Yourself

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

Easter Saturday: The Day In-Between

Today can be a strange and off-putting sort of day. The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The day between the suffering of the cross and the joy and new life of the resurrection. The day, that first Easter, that would have filled Jesus disciples and His closest followers with confusion, grief, doubt, anger … Continue reading Easter Saturday: The Day In-Between →

Hope

I wrote the poem that follows at the end of March 2020. I was brought back to it again today. We cling to hope still, waiting expectantly, and longing for the day when every tear will be wiped away, and the glory of the Lord will be our light. Hope is not simply an emotion … Continue reading Hope →
