God's love is beyond me!

God's unfailing love is as vast as the heavens! Psalm 36:5-7

It was one of those days! Sunshine, fresh air, peace and time to think. I started walking, praying and headed for the nearby park. The daffodils greeted me and I stopped to take some pictures smiling back at them. I could have kissed them all one by one, they were so beautiful! Further along the path the magnolia tree was in full bloom. What a beautiful day! "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD" (Psalm 150:6). My heart was full of gratitude. For thirty minutes I was spoiled by the beauty that surrounded me.

As I reflect on God's love. I share with the Psalmist:

"Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,

justice like the ocean depths.

You care for people and animals alike, O LORD.

How precious is your unfailing love, O God!

All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. "

(Psalms 36:5-7) NLT

The courage of love

Against the dark background of much despair, the message of Easter, of the resurrection brings to us a bright light of hope. It is a message about the courage of love that sets the Christian faith apart from all other beliefs. It is about a loving God who relentlessly pursues us (Ezekiel 34:12) despite the sin in our lives. During our reflection time at work this week – I was led to read the following scripture: Jesus said to [Martha] “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die" (John 11:25-16). Sometimes we don’t think much about the daily acts of courage as we live out our Christian values. It takes courage to speak God's Word in places where you know there are unbelievers who are resistant to the message of he Gospel. I believe this is no time to be satisfied with the status quo in our lives. We should take every opportunity that come and turn them ...

The power of inspiration

The power of inspiration Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” ~John 4:10 There is no subject like Jesus. He is a river that never runs dry! It brings me joy to share with others what I feel God has shared with me. Personally, I find it beneficial to seek Jesus in the everyday moments of life, which is primarily what I write about. In my devotional reading yesterday, I reflected on the story of the Samaritan woman talking with Jesus at the well (John 4:1-26). It’s a beautiful narrative where Jesus arrives at a well in Samaria, thirsty from His journey. A Samaritan woman was present, and Jesus asked her for a drink. Three key themes stood out to me from this story: physical thirst, spiritual thirst, and the power of inspiration. Jesus is amazing—He is bold and brilliant! He has a remarkable ability to offer what is within Him and share it with others. Jesus k...

It’s A New Season!

It’s A New Season - and Moving Right Along... ”I worship you I worship You The reason I live is to worship You!” I thank God for my journey and for bringing me to a new milestone, a new era of my life, WOW! Glory be to God! I celebrated my 70th birthday a week ago with my family and it was a lovely beautiful time. I thank God that I got to celebrate this milestone with the people I love the most; that Corvus 19 lock down happened while we’re all together as a family. I’m ever so grateful to you Lord! And now, moving on to face this age thing “head on”. The world talks a lot about 70 being the new 60, 50 being the new 40 and so on. Whatever that mean, I think for me it is time to call a “spade a spade”. What does turning 70 mean for me? Is it time to give up on living life like I used to? Is it time to lose interest in the things that I have ...
