Prepare



This summer has been one of travel for me. I should have the flight attendants' speach memorized by now. I do remember one thing: in the case of emergency, you should always take care of yourself first. You are no good to another if you are depleted of your own life support. How true this is in all of life's situations. We cannot possibly help guide another if we, ourselves, do not hold God's grace. No advice is worthwhile, no motive pure enough unless we are filled with the strength, endurance, and mercy of God's Holy Spirit. Life is filled with many unexpected turns. We must prepared ourselves and through this grace, enable ourselves to be a true witness of God's mercy and aid.

A true witness delivers souls, and a false witness speaks deceipt. - Proverbs 14:25

Tuesday, March 19, 2013 - search

One of my mother's famous quotes was "the answer is as plain as the nose on your face." As a small child, this expression was always a puzzle to me because I could never see my nose. I would stare down my face cross-eyed trying to locate the tip and then run to the mirror to grab a better look. But as I have grown older, I realize the profound wisdom of that statement. In all searches for truth, we can never really find an answer until we take the time to examine our own self. When life is a challenge, look within and let His truth reveal your answer.


And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?" Luke 2:49
