giving answers honestly
When we honestly ask God the 'why' question, He doesn't give us answers as much as He gives us Himself.
giving
The Bible isn't quick to give answers; it mainly gives the Answer.
differences giving feelings
There's a big difference between feeling thankful and giving thanks. One response involves emotions, the other, your will. Trusting God has nothing to do with trustful feelings.
differences giving being-thankful
AS a matter of fact, God isn't asking you to be thankful. He's asking you to give thanks. There's a big difference. One response involves emotions, the other your choices, your decisions about a situation, your intent, your 'step of faith.
love thinking giving
Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay, the time it is willing to give, the hardships it is willing to endure, and the strength it is willing to spend. Love never thinks in terms of "how little," but always in terms of "how much." Love gives, love knows, and love lasts.
jesus giving grace
God doesn't just give us grace; He gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace.
hurt grief giving
When we hurt, God doesn't always give us lots of words; he gives us the Word; the Word made flesh who is intimately acquainted with our grief and suffering. That's what helps the most.
accompany-us giving justice
God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!
death die none ourselves prepare single thousand
None of us, in our culture of comfort, know how to prepare ourselves for dying, but that's what we should do every day. Every single day, we die a thousand deaths.
christian character mean
I once read in a Bible commentary that the word "Christian" means "little Christs." What an honor to share Christ's name! We can be bold to call ourselves Christians and bear the stamp of his character and reputation. When people find out the you are a Christian, they should already have an idea of who you are and what you are like simply because you bear such a precious name.
christian heart heaven
Every Christian who keeps looking up stretches his heart's capacity for Heaven.
cancer wake-up stakes
Cancer is such a wake-up call to remind us how high the cosmic stakes really are and how short and brief and frail life really is.
suffering done glory
God deliberately chooses weak, suffering and unlikely candidates to get His work done, so that in the end, the glory goes to God and not to the person.
opportunity perfect waiting
The times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord.
