Forgiven Much

In Luke 7 there are two instances where Jesus commended and also acted upon people's faith. Faith is so important to God! The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please Him. The Lord our God is full of compassion. Our tears touch him. All are welcome to Christ. Seek him! You will find …

Life or Death?

Ecclesiastes is a depressing book. Is it just me? As before written, I've lost someone I loved dearly. I think I would have been okay with it, but knowing that they rejected Christ, and knowing what happens to those that do that, I am not okay with it. I don't curse God, or anything like …

Loving a Leper

Matthew 8:2-3 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. I admit that this is usually a passage that I would just read …

Words

Psalm 106:23,32-33 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: Because they provoked his spirit, …

Seeking Jesus

Luke 19:47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, I've read through the gospels at least twice this past year and it always bothers me that the Pharisees, etc, were so desperate on seeking a way to destroy …

Matthew 18:21-35 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would …

Thy Will Be Done

Matthew 26:26-36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding …

Fear Not

I'm the roller coaster of emotions. I'm in utter love and awe and flowing tears of the greatness of it all as I write about how only through Jesus we are restored/reconciled, our works never good enough. Today I was reading Luke 5. Peter, upon putting his own flesh under subjection and obeying Jesus regardless …

Lord, Save Me!

Matthew 14:28-31 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and …

Comfort

Things that make me smile and go 'hmmmf'. He hears! Yesterday, and for the past few days I've been praying "Show me Your love!" and while I never expect some booming voice, I know that He will speak to me through His Word as He has been doing. Knowing that I keep my eyes open …
