MATTHEW 6:33 I recently read of a boy who said he loves his father because he gives him pennies everyday. The writer concluded by saying: “Penny-praying, like penny-loving belongs to childhood and immaturity…” Jesus said we should seek the kingdom of God first (relationship) and others things will be added to us. Developing our relationship with … [Read more…]
JOHN 10:10 Joy is a response to God’s gifts and to who we are in Him. It is not difficult to find and express joy. When we let despair become our default mode, we cannot experience life abundantly as Jesus intends. He wants all His children, young and old, to enjoy life. And when we show our … [Read more…]
EPHESIANS 2:8-9 No one can lead a perfect life. It is only by God’s grace that we are saved. When we get to heaven, it will not be because of anything we have done, but because of whom we have put our faith and trust. Jesus purchased what we could not. The more we rely on … [Read more…]

PHILIPPIANS 4:8 In this world that is full of stress and trouble, it seems difficult for us to find something to be thankful for. Bad news makes the headlines everyday. We hear of crime, terrorism, rapes, and disasters. The list of problems could go on and on. We are also running around everyday to meet … [Read more…]
1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 God’s plans for us are bigger than we can imagine. He formed every aspect of our beings. He placed gifts and abilities inside us so we can achieve amazing things in our lifetime.

ISAIAH 26:3 Square pegs in round holes. This idiom gives a graphic image of something that cannot fit and dates back to about 1800AD. The message is that once we place people or things wrongly, we get a wrong result. When we have problems that seems insurmountable, we should not place the problem between us and … [Read more…]
