Come now, let’s settle this, says the LORD.
Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.
– TheBible
Some Christians always have a scripture to put on a situation.
Ha. I am one of those people.
I don’t do it lightly. I do it with the confidence that it is a truth that injects strength into you.
At face value, it may seem like just a pat answer. I don’t do it frivolously. I do it with compassion and understanding.
When you plug something in, you expect it to work.
That’s the way it is with scripture. There is an unseen current that connects to your heart and mind. You just don’t see it.
Let the word of God settle in. Don’t be so quick to reject it. Even if you’ve been hurt in church, by other people, or God himself.
At the end of the day, you have to believe in something. It all has to make sense, doesn’t it?
Believe God is who he says he is.
Jesus said:
I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27
Doesn’t nature teach us so much about God?

So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
John 1:14

Thank-you to all who read and/or follow me! I have people from all over the world reading and it makes me happy to be able to plant a seed of encouragement in someone’s life. Most of the time it’s just taking a step back and looking at something from a different angle that makes all the difference.
Most of my posts have been short and reflective since most people do not take the time to read long blog posts. I’m big at seeing what can come from a small seed.
That said, I’m going to change things a bit.
Mondays will be a bit more up close and personal. Sharing our burdens is meant to be.
Wednesdays will be short and sweet.
Fridays will continue to be “Scripture Friday”, since without that guidance in my life, I would be confused and aimless.
Also, watch for my December 2nd post to enter a drawing for a book gift from me! Details will be included in the post!
