Weights to Wings

#birds #loads #faithful #God #saviour #wings #weights #burdens #calvary #creation #faith #trust

25/9/17 There is an old fable that when God made birds first he made them without wings. They could just hop around and sing. The birds were beautiful with colorful plumage, and with sweet voices. When the rays of the sun shone on them they were a pretty sight to watch. However they could not soar into the sky. God then created the wings and laid them at the feet of the bird. He was teaching them…

Betrayed

Dear Lord After what has happened I can so clearly understand how you would have felt in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was easy to just listen to and read about the events in your life,but now when I face something so similar I am truly shocked. What I face is absolutely nothing compared to what you faced in the garden when Judas betrayed you. I can only draw strength from you dear Jesus. Thanks…

Past "Shelf life"

Past “Shelf life”

Samson with his seven locks dancing in the wind. The man looked around for a weapon to wield against his enemies, and found…just an old, dried up jawbone of a donkey. And with the seemingly useless and worthless jawbone, he slew a thousand men (Judges 15:11–17). My friend, God uses what the world deems useless and past its shelf life to accomplish amazing feats. That’s just His style. So if…

Sometimes there’s no logical solution to life’s challenges. Fear says your situation is permanent.  Logic says it’s impossible.  Facts say it doesn’t make sense.  Science says follow logic and consider the facts.  Math says it doesn’t add up.  Time says it’s too late.  Age says you’re too young or too old.  Education says you’re not qualified.  Experience says you’re a novice.  People say it’s…

Prayer for the suffering

HEAVENLY FATHER, YOU know all about suffering.YOU experienced such a mental agony in the garden of Gethsemane.

Give us the courage…
