“If God treasures up our tears, much more should we treasure up His mercies, as lovers keep the love-tokens of those they affect. God has a file for our prayers; we should have the like for His answers.” -Stephen Charnock

Happy birthday!

Repentance is not verbal only. It is always demonstrated consistently in a life over time. And true repentance is a process that requires time and more time to be made evident.

It’s not a half-gallon!!

Thank you for this list! So helpful.

Looks great! Make sure to add some file!

The hardest and best effort for me right now is to work *under* my capacity and leave margin in my life. We're just one week into this year, and it's already been exhausting. I think we all need to leave some emotional and chronological space to deal w/ the unexpected. But's it's so hard to do less!

So agree!

At least!

Embracing the Mystery (more than the magic) of Christmas Amidst the twinkling lights, we’ve received grim news.

Amidst the twinkling lights and jolly tunes, we’ve received grim news. I want the story of our life to be one of tinsel and mistletoe. Often it is one of sorrow and shadow.

This is beautiful. Thank you.

Theology 101: We don’t discover God; he discloses himself. We don’t uncover data; he unveils truth. We don’t climb to him; he comes to us.

This is so convicting!

I do not care how much you read the Bible. Or about the Scriptures you can quote. Or your theology. I care about how much you are like Jesus.

"Meet me, O Christ, in the stillness of this morning.

Move me, O Spirit, to quiet my heart.

Mend me, O Father, from yesterday's harms.
From the discords of yesterday, resurrect my peace.
From the discouragement of yesterday, resurrect my hope."

~ Every Moment Holy

Thank you. This is so helpful.

Wow! This is amazing.

On this side of glory, neither total victory nor total defeat should be the common experiences of the Christian life. Struggle is the norm.
