Compassion – Living Hand in Hand

Compassion – Living Hand in Hand

Compassion makes life beautiful. Compassion makes life worth living. Compassion gives us a glimpse of heaven here on earth. Because God is is the epitome of compassion. If we want to be compassionate we need to become more like him. The fifth spiritual fruit discribed in Galatians 5:22 has traditionally been translated kindness (NIV/NRSV)or gentleness (KJV). The Message uses “a sense of compassion in the heart”. I think it is more provoking than kindness or gentleness. It gives us an…

You Never Let Go

You Never Let Go

It’s Melodic Monday! Today’s song is You Never Let Go by Matt Redman. This is a song for every Christian pilgrim. There will always be valleys of the shadow of the death in our lives. There will always be moments of darkness along the way. But, as we know, that is not the end of the story for Christians. God is bigger than our troubles. God is wiser than our problems. God is more than we ever need. So we…

While I’m Waiting

While I’m Waiting

It’s Melodic Monday!! Today’s song is While I’m Waiting by John Waller.”The important thing to remember while we are waiting on God is to not just wait, but to actively wait,” John declares on his website. “Serve, worship, and be faithful with what you have, where you are…even while you wait.” That was exactly what I needed to hear while I am going through a period of waiting in my life. I’m praying for clear guidance and wisdom to discern…

How Exquisite Your Love, O God! Psalm 36

How Exquisite Your Love, O God! Psalm 36

Psalm 36 (The Message, emphasis mine)  1-4 The God-rebel tunes in to sedition— all ears, eager to sin.    He has no regard for God,       he stands insolent before him.    He has smooth-talked himself       into believing    That his evil       will never be noticed.    Words gutter from his mouth,       dishwater dirty.    Can’t remember when he       did anything decent.    Every time he goes to bed,       he fathers another evil plot.    When he’s loose on the streets,       nobody’s safe.    He plays with fire       and doesn’t…

From Empty Enough to Full.Filled

From Empty Enough to Full.Filled

Nobody wants to be empty, right? Empty means poor, sad, lonely. Empty means cold, old, dead. We don’t want to be associated with those things. We don’t want to be empty. We try to fix it. But we mess up. “God gives His gifts where He finds the vessel empty enough to receive them” writes C. S. Lewis in Williams and the Arthuriad. We are not called to be empty. But we are called to be empty enough. God wants…
