Moving Others by Encounter

Everything we say and do can be used to bring others to an encounter to the living God. Sometimes it even happens unintentionally (at least on our part!). May all that we say and do (and think) be for the greater glory of God, and the glory of God is man fully alive! Jesus came to give us life to the full, and so let us strive to be living witnesses to this life, who is Christ Himself.

Chosen in the Midst of Rejection

What do we do when we are rejected or excluded? Jesus was rejected, but He knew He was chosen and seen as precious by God. We too are chosen. God calls us His own. When we face rejection and exclusion, may we not allow that to bring us down but rather allow our chosenness by God bring us a peace and joy that no one can take from us.

Speak From Your Heart

God wants to hear from you! Prayer is not just the lines and sentences you may have memorized as a child; prayer is your personal relationship with God. Tell Him whatever is on your mind, what you need, and how you feel. Prayer is when you speak from the very depths of your heart and when Jesus speaks to you from the depths of His pierced, sacred heart. Jesus promises to hear you and He even says "I will do it." Trust in Him and know and believe that Jesus means what He says. After you tell the Lord all that is on your mind and in your heart, be still and listen to Him. Prayer is a conversation. Don't forget to listen.
