The Father’s love

“How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure! That He would give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure”. These are words taken from the famous hymn “How Deep the Father’s love” and they depict the depth and breadth of God’s love or at least they attempt to. LikeContinue reading “The Father’s love”

Unwanted Emotions

We are made in the image of God and we are, as the word of God tells us “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). In this making of us, the Lord added our senses, our feelings and emotions, He gave each one of us a specific personality and character traits, all this as a wayContinue reading “Unwanted Emotions”

Quit striving after the wind

One of the Verse of the Day this week from the YouVersion bible app was “Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. Selah.” (Psalms 68:19). The word or phrase that caught my attention in that verse was “who daily bears our burden” signifying that God Himself dailyContinue reading “Quit striving after the wind”

Fight!

I feel like I am wrestling with God. Actually, it’s not just me but my family and I are, at least that’s the feeling. On a personal level, I believe I have been on this “in-between” phase where it seems nothing is going on, yet much is happening for a while. It’s quite an interestingContinue reading “Fight!”

Living with Hope

The world we live in is full of surprises, you never know what you’ll get. I suppose for those of us that are in Christ, it’s only in heaven that we’ll be able to realize our rest and also understand what was going on/what we went through. For now, we get to enjoy whatever lotContinue reading “Living with Hope”

In the Storm

I have not had a chance to write this week as I would normally due to unforeseen events. However, I wanted to declare the goodness of God over this past week in my life. You see, my family is going through a challenging time and it seems attacks are coming from everywhere. Yet, in theContinue reading “In the Storm”

The Ways of the Lord

If you surrender your life to the Lord, expect to be challenged. This is a given, for your desires will often be in conflict with the will of the Lord. Also, because His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:9), it is clear that His commands will not seem right to you upfront. They couldContinue reading “The Ways of the Lord”

When life throws you a curveball

Trusting in the Lord is what the Christian should do. There is no other way around it. The fact that the bible repeats it often also means it is not the norm yet it is crucial if we want to live under the kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Something that I have come toContinue reading “When life throws you a curveball”

Pressing On

There’s nothing more annoying to me than to hear the words “keep going” when I’m tired or am ready to give up. For example, when I’m exercising and the exercise is demanding and it seems the instructor is prolonging the exercise and by extension my pain or discomfort, all I want to do in thatContinue reading “Pressing On”

The Armour of God

Believers in the Lord are at war the moment they accept Christ Jesus as their Lord and saviour. Indeed, when we submit to the Lordship of Christ, we immediately become enemies of the world and the kingdom of darkness. For God rescued us from the dominion of darkness of which we belonged when we wereContinue reading “The Armour of God”
