Sitting with Melissa
Sitting with Melissa she shares “If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny Himself. 2 Timothy 2:b-13, ESV. When I read the…
Read MoreYou can know if you are saved.
Today our verse is 2 Timothy 2:19, “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, having the inscription: “The Lord know those who are His, and Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from unrighteousness.” Luke 23:34 says “Father forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.” He called us…
Read MoreGod’s Faithfulness
In Entrusted I find, “When life doesn’t seem worth living or feels like to much to bear, courage can come from setting our sights beyond our own plights to the hope of slavation and Deliverance for others. Your faithfulness is the key to somebody else’s faithfulness.” Life is hard. Because it is not about us…

Read MoreWe Believe
Today I read We Believe a Next Level Insert with Melissa in the Entrusted Bible study. Melissa is talking about when she was in period of despair. She went to church week after week, sitting in the back row in agony, alone with her pain; but not really feeling alone. She, week after week confessed…

Read MoreWork of Attending in LOVE
In my reading of THE ROADLESS TRAVELED, Peck talks in the section Work of Attention that Love is a form of work or a form of courage. When we love another we give him or her our attention; we attend to that person’s growth. Attention is an act of our will. Love is a…
Read MoreGenuine Love
Today I am reading in THE ROADLESS TRAVELED about genuine love which implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. In a consturctive marriage, the partners must regularly, routinely and predictably, attend to each other and their relationship no matter how they feel. Peck defines love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of…
Read MoreSelf Sacrifice
In The Roadless Traveled in the section of Love “Self Sacrifice” Peck talks of when we do something for others, often the motivation is self righteousness or martidome. Interesting. But I am glad that he finished this section with these words. Whenever we think of ourselves as doing something for someone else, we are in…
Read MoreLove as you love a Pet…
In The Roadless Traveled, Peck talks of the love of a parent new born baby or the love of someone that “loves” a pet. This type of love is dependent on something that can’t really respond back. A pet has no thought, they like us unconditionally. A baby is similar until they reached around the…
