A conversation I had yesterday with someone going through an intense time and then watching part of an episode of House Of David has got me thinking today. Incidentally, side note, House of David is currently streaming on Amazon Prime and, from the bits I have seen, is worth watching! Of course there are extraContinue reading “Authenticity”

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. You may be very familiar with this verse from John 10:10. I wonder what comes to mind when you think about abundant life. Some versions translate it as living life to the full, orContinue reading “Living life to the full”

Romans 12:18 AMP says: If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. This morning I had some thoughts around living in peace in relation to forgiveness which I share here on YouTube. https://youtu.be/2sVPkN_A19o?si=mInAborWNEmUTCQk

However, I have kept being drawn back to Psalm 1:1-3 and the picture of the tree, echoed here in Jeremiah 17:7-8 Blessed is the man whoContinue reading “Firm Foundations”

The phrase that came to me this morning is “Jesus Unwrapped” Yes, we need to open the gift that is Jesus and receive him. But we need to receive the real Jesus ~ I believe there are places where we have mummified him, bubble wrapped him, boxed him, tried to make him pretty and glitteryContinue reading “Jesus unwrapped!”
