Micah 6:8 He has showed you, oh man, what is good and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Living a life with God is not complicated. Justice, mercy, and humility are a part of God’s attributes, which we have access…

Don’t Lose Heart
Don’t lose a soft, gentle heart. It is easy to be angry, easy to feel what is evident, what everyone else feels. It’s good to understand our emotions, but ultimately consider the Holy Spirit’s influence in cohesion with our spirit and reason. Matthew 11:30 “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” We…

Drink, Smoke, Pills, Food
I wonder just how many people who smoke, drink, take pills, over eat, or have any other habit, enjoyment, or addiction believe that they can’t love God and God can’t love them. It has often been preached, in many types of churches, that all these things are sins, moral sins, bumped right a long side…
Restoration
I saw an old dress. The top was tattered blue with a peach slip underneath showing through. The top was a V-neck with slender tares along the blue silk. The hem was unraveling at the bottom and the waist, and the slip that ran the length of the dress was somehow pulled through the waist…
