The Greatest Gift Exchange of All Time
We give Jesus our load of concerns, and He gives us a gift more precious than gold–that’s how Jesus wants to work this gift exchange.

Perhaps in our longing for healing, God is beckoning us to exercise our faith, to come to him and touch the hem of his garment.
Disappointment. Anger. Hurt. Envy. Fear. Doubt. Loneliness. Unforgiveness. They’re all capable of turning out the lights, metaphorically speaking.
“Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.” ~ Roy Lessin
God does not always lead us into suffering, but sometimes He does. Sometimes, God works in and through our trials to carry out His purposes.
God is with you, my friend. His presence will never leave your side. You don’t face your challenges alone, nor do you face them in your own strength.
Let’s take the high road. Let’s follow Christ’s example. And get on with the work of sharing Jesus love with others as He sacrificially shared it with us.
Life is really hard sometimes. But suffering is temporary. Let’s neither run from it nor resist it because it refines us and strengthens our faith.
We can walk this path well by looking at Jesus’s example. A man acquainted with grief, He neither fell into despair nor did He use sorrow as an excuse for sin.
We grieve our loss but we celebrate her gain. And we see light at the end of the tunnel of sorrow knowing we’ll someday celebrate a great, grand reunion.
Only God knows what the new year holds. For us, it’s a huge uncertainty. But one thing we know for sure, we can experience peace because Jesus said so.
Life takes unexpected turns. Sometimes we have no answers. But we always have a Comforter. And in Him we always find hope.
He satisfies my hunger and quenches my thirst. Every day, day after day after day…the supply of divine delicacies never ends.
What do you believe to be true about God? How has your faith impacted your life when He’s asked you to do something beyond your own ability?
God fights our battles for us. But we play a role in securing victory, too. Our job is to address whatever practical issues we must address.
Yesterday I heard a song that literally stopped me in my tracks. I’ve listened to it many times since, and its lyrics grip my heart each time I hear them.
God sees our circumstances and hears our cries. We are not alone–ever. He loves us, honours us, and considers us precious.
I love when God answers prayer in ways that defy human explanation. At Heathrow, He made His presence undeniably obvious, and I’ll forever remember that moment.
Every one of us has some sort of pain in our past (or our present). Here are three ways to overcome it, based on the life of Joseph.
Jesus is real. He’s not a fairy tale, nor a figment of someone’s imagination. He’s the risen Son of God—alive and well and deserving our love and obedience.
I don’t understand God’s methods sometimes. They leave me scratching my head. And yet, I need to trust that He is in control, and He’s a lot smarter than I am.
How can I experience peace after learning that a lifelong friend is being moved into palliative care as her valiant fight with cancer draws to a close?
I read these familiar words and screech to a mental halt. A handful of recent irritations and hurts come to mind.
One’s memory of God’s promises often fails when life deals a tough blow. Stress and fear sabotage our minds, and our ability to recall His words takes flight.
Refuse to dwell on the what-ifs.
Instead, dwell on the for-sures. For sure, God has not abandoned us. For sure, the pain of this earthly life is temporal.
It’s so true–a baby changes everything. You don’t have to be a mother to experience this for yourself, especially when that baby is Jesus.
No matter how dire our circumstances appear or how God-forsaken we feel, we can hang onto this assurance: God still loves us
Giving thanks in the midst of tough times is a sacrifice. It’s not easy, but God enables us to do what He commands.
The older I get, the more aware I am of my mortality. Someday, I’ll face death, too. That thought doesn’t scare me anymore.
This is the stuff of which soap operas are made. It’s a story filled with unfortunate drama, fear, panic, lust, murder, and justification.
What an amazing weekend! The women’s conference in this Hungarian church was the first-ever. Organizers expected sixty women but 200 showed up.
What an emotional journey. I’m so thankful for God’s presence and for His presents – my IM friends. This day was a remarkable gift.
I could scarcely hear Gene above the din in the dining room: “Your dad passed away thirty minutes ago.” It wasn’t unexpected, but the news still carried a blow.
