No matter who you are or what your life has been like so far, the rest of your life's journey can be different. With God's help you can begin again.
Do you want to trust your life in God's pocket or keep it in your own?
We're all so busy. We race and race. Life is a sprint. We want to get 'there' so badly. But I wonder if we even know what to do when we actually get 'there'.
The cross is offensive because it directly confronts the evils which dominate so much of this world.
Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When doubt reigns, faith cannot abide. Where hatred rules, love is crowded out. Where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell. When worry is present, trust cannot crowd its way in.
