Energized Sensitivity
When His promises are greater to me than the despair of my broken ones, I stop hating my weaknesses and limitations that are expressed through self-obsession and narcissism. Psalm 119:140 Not only do callousness amd numbness begin to fade, but gentleness even towards myself is empowered. Psalm 119:70 Accepting reality that I’ve failed at being a promise keeper, I may by ...
The Aye in Pain
A child is drawn to the promise of honey but is almost always surprised by the presence of bees. Deuteronomy 1:44 The stings of disobedience tend to maks us feel that we must move out of the childlike state for all the wrong reasons We feel we must grow up and earn the right to ...
Faith to Shout?
So the people marched around the wall and at the sound of the trumpet they gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city. Really? Seven times around a wall and the wall came down. What brought those walls down? Was it a combination of obedience, ...

Spot Light?
Was running thru my neighborhood and noticed that most of the fancy homes have these amazing spot lights that are strategically placed around the home. They kind of say – look here for the good stuff and nevermind about the rest of the house. A great way of overlooking any of the simple defects, cracks, ...
Heart in the Matter
The heart of the matter becomes redemptive when the heart is in the matter. We all are so full of experiences that make us feel a certain way. Yet without the heart seeing and gathering the wisdom from the way we feel, our feelings often can determine a false sense of reality of what only ...
The Good, The Bad Gets Uglier
Many seek to be good when in reality we are only trying to avoid mistakes. What we don’t want to be or do sounds noble, yet this way of thinking only heightens our own self-awareness that makes us hyper-sensitive to ridicule and distorts our purpose that should be our focus. We are to live out of ...
