We are no longer controlled by sin as He moves our lips to speak love and forgiveness. We are passive as He acts out His words and His salvation for us.

Now, resurrection can only follow upon death. The good news is, it will!

The little gold man has become one of my most prized possessions for he reminds me of God’s love for me.
01/30/18
When we talk about love then, let us not talk about ourselves.

We follow the example of creation and her Creator, wasting our love quite prodigally in fulfilling our callings, whether we’re thanked or spurned, applauded or ignored.
