As I read The Blessed Life by Robert Morris in chapter 6, the Gratitude or Greed paragraph, I realize something. Robert Morris has been speaking about our heart, our part, our reaction to when God calls us to do something. But never the focus on how the receiving part reacts. Which is beautiful. Only in … Continue reading Our Business Is With God

[WID0065] Guest Post by Maartje: The Pearl
Heads up! This post has two versions: English & Nederlands. Over the past period, my husband and I have been experiencing several different emotions. Life, death, sorrow, joy. Everything was so intense. Sometimes you live in those periods when everything seems to come at the same time, not 'well' distributed, which causes our human heart … Continue reading [WID0065] Guest Post by Maartje: The Pearl
Don’t Dismiss The Teacher
Jesus Christ was preaching on the hillside to 5000 heads of households counted. Which means about 15.000 to 20.000 people. He was preaching the morning and continued and continued. Christ was talking, preaching, teaching. And everyone was learning and eagerly wanting to learn more. His twelve disciples, the ones close to Him, led by what … Continue reading Don’t Dismiss The Teacher
What You Sow Does Not Come To Life Unless It Dies
Just a short reflection on this part of the verse: 1 Corinthians 15:36 [HCSB] -- “What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.” 1 Corinthians 15:36 [CEV] -- "A seed must die before it can sprout from the ground." Paul was talking about the resurrection there. Also that we’re not planting our … Continue reading What You Sow Does Not Come To Life Unless It Dies
[WID0064] Guest Post by Suail: The Question Is Not: “Who Is My Neighbor?” But “Who Am I?”
I’m sure you’ve heard about the parable of the Good Samaritan. It is a very familiar story to Christians and people that aren’t Christians. But even though it’s very popular, commentaries say that the parable of the Good Samaritan is pretty much misunderstood. The parable is about a man that was robbed and beat, almost … Continue reading [WID0064] Guest Post by Suail: The Question Is Not: “Who Is My Neighbor?” But “Who Am I?”
The Very First Paragraph In

The very first paragraph in, I finish it with tears in my eyes and a prayer saying “Father, I want to be like … Continue reading The Very First Paragraph In
Surrender
27-2-2023Did you realize that when you are in the position of surrender, your head is down, your knees are bent and your arms are wide open directed to the heavens? You surrender, because you don’t want to be in control anymore and allow God to work. I have been in this prayer of surrender and … Continue reading Surrender
New Roads & New Rivers
What a rollercoaster of emotions this week has been. My shark week started on Sunday, so yes, I'm a bit more "hormonal" as usual. But still, what a rollercoaster it was. And it's not even over yet! God and I have been having some deep and clarifying conversations lately and I'm loving it, of course! … Continue reading New Roads & New Rivers
