Am I Selfish?

what about me

Recently I came home exhausted, after a very long week; I was tired. I wanted to just relax and not deal with anything. But, there were a couple of things I needed to take care of right then; I didn’t want to, but I changed from thinking all about me, and took care them.

I know the Bible directs me to take heed to myself spiritually, mentally and physically. I know that if my life is a mess I don’t have much to offer or give to others. But the Bible also directs me to be loving and giving to others.

So, where is the balance in life between me thinking about me, and me thinking about you? How

The Greatest

How great is faith? It’s huge!

Faith, or, believing, can move mountains. Faith can make you whole. Not to mention it’s by faith that we are saved! Faith, or believing, is huge!

What about hope? How great

Who Are You Praying For?

who praying

Mostly I never know for sure if anyone prays for me on any given day. I’d like to think people who love me pray for me. But there are definitely days when it’s very obvious to me that someone recently prayed for me!

I believe in praying for others. I pray for certain people every day, and others

Defining God’s Love

God’s remarkable love is composed of three main elements. First, the love of God is generous. If you are going to love with the love of God, then it is an act of giving. God so loved the world that He

The Oldest Man On Earth

Jose 126

When we’re young, the furthest thing from our minds is getting old. However, it seems the older we do get, the more we realize our mortality. But sometimes, hearing about someone much older than we are can be inspiring. Such was the case for me recently.

Have you heard about Jose and Agnes? No, they’re not married, and I assume they don’t even know each other. They’re both in the

In the last Nuggets, I mentioned God so desires that we would make right choices. But when we don’t, and end up with bad consequences, He looks past all our junk. He looks past it and He sees us as He made us: righteous, forgiven, and not separated from His love.

 

The reason we have God’s forgiveness

The Bible speaks very clearly about God’s love. God’s very nature is love. His love for you and me does not change. Nothing can ever separate us from the love of God.

So what about when we miss the mark or do something that is not right? God is just going to

I mentioned in an earlier “Nuggets,” that God’s very nature is love. The Bible says, God is love. The more we recognize how big God’s love really is, the easier it is to love others.

Our works and our worth have nothing to do with God loving us. God’s very nature is love. So again, the answer to why God loves you, is that

Trust the Universe?

The Universe

A few weeks ago someone said to me, “I’m not worried; the Universe will bring it to me.” I replied, “You mean, God?” He responded, “Oh yeah, God; that’s what I call Him sometimes.” I then answered, “Well, God created the universe, so He is definitely bigger than the universe!”

I’m not trying to be critical, but when it comes to God Almighty, the Creator, I like to recognize Him for Who He is. Isn’t it disrespectful to
