We are all striving, pushing for ‘something’. Whether it be finally making our own parents happy, reaching some self-appointed position or goal, or creating children that fit the mold that we’ve cast for them. But, in truth, we should only be working to seek what God has for us.

We have a tree growing in a place it seems like it shouldn’t be able to, and while doing so, it provides shelter, protection, and life to those around it. Isn’t that exactly what we should be doing as Christians?

We all have decisions to make, every single day. Which aspect of our life are we going to feed? Are we going to feed our hunger for physical comfort, our hunger for mental entertainment, or our need for spiritual growth?

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: Proverbs 13:22 What heritage are you creating for your children? Today is not too late to start crafting a heritage of faith.

In your daily life, take note of your many blessings. It won’t take long to realize that God provides all we need, and many times is calling gently to us to turn our eyes to Him.

I held on when my Lord called me back to Him until the conviction weighed so heavily on me that I could no longer bear it. And still He called. He won’t give up on us. He will call to us until we return to Him. The question is, how long are you going to hide?

Are you hanging on to guilt for sins from your past? As a Christian, if you’ve repented of them, He has removed them as far as the east is from the west. Psalm 103:12

One purpose of the Hebrew Law was to highlight our inability to live a perfect life. To show us our sins, and thereby show us our need of a Savior. If we don’t understand what God expects of us, we can not possibly expect to understand how much grace He has shown us through Christ’s pardoning death on the cross.
