    God chooses and equips the overlooked, valuing the heart over appearance, and invites us to trust His presence and purpose in our ordinary lives.

    Have you ever felt unseen? Like the world is busy measuring muscles and metrics while your quiet faithfulness hums in the background?

  • Parting Words

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 16, 2015
     | 2,833 views

    When we die to our earthly lives, we live for Christ. Happiness depends on happenings in our lives, but joy depends on Jesus. Submission leads to happiness and joy. It mends our wounded souls.

    What would you say to someone if you knew that you were seeing them for the last time? If you were dying, what would be the last words you would say to your family and friends? If you’ve ever thought about the answers to these questions, then you can appreciate what was going through ...read more

    I believe Jesus is drawing our attention to the father and his compassion and joy in order to give us a a deeper understanding of the nature of God and His Kingdom; of our calling to be instruments of His life-giving compassion, and to share in His joy.
