Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly

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. Justice, mercy, and humility are a part of God’s attributes, which we have access by surrendering our heart and mind to the…

Don’t Lose Heart

Don’t lose a soft, gentle heart. It is easy to be angry, easy to be frustrated and feel what everyone else feels. It’s good to understand our emotions, but ultimately consider the Holy Spirit working in cohesion with our spirit, our reason. Matthew 11:30 “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” No…

Never believe that you can’t be close to God just because you smoke, drink, take pills, over eat, or have any other habit, enjoyment, or addiction that the church world has condemned. God does not look at any of these things as sin unless it separates you from God in your own heart and mind….

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…
