Far back as I can remember I have loved Psalms 73, especially the ending:
Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I...

Thought of the day.
“I still have many things to say to you but you cannot bear them now.” - John 16:12 I bitterly read this verse and wrestled with it for a while today. I wrestled with God. “Why can’t You just tell me what you are apparently longing to say? You have all these things to tell me but You think I can’t handle them? God, seriously? I want to hear You! Why would you think...

Challenge
Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. - Hebrews 10:24.
Spring has finally sprung which means that the weather will inevitably warm up. As awesome as it is to bring out the spring clothing and, eventually summer shorts, us Christian women need to remember how the way we dress can tempt our brothers in Christ. Our jobs is to help and encourage our brothers in...
Ephesians 4:31-32
Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives. Instead, be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you because you belong to Christ.

http://www.c28.com/?adid=st&iid=65074 This Christian T-Shirt franchise has some great stuff. “Wear your faith.” It’s a perfect opportunity to witness for the glory of God.
He who lives without prayer, he who lives with little prayer, he who seldom reads the Word, and he who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence from on high -he will be the man whose heart will become dry and barren.
- Charles Spurgeon
I know not a word which can express the surprise and wonder our souls ought to feel at God’s goodness to us. Our hearts playing the harlot; our lives far from perfect; our faith almost blown out; our unbelief often prevailing; our pride lifting up its accursed head; our patience a poor sickly plant, almost nipped by one night’s frost; our courage little better than cowardice; our love...

More encouragement for the girls.
My Dearest Daughter, I see your loneliness and fear. I know your hurt and your heartaches. In a special bottle I am storing each and every one of your tears. I see you searching for love, for happiness, for fulfillment. As much as I hate to see your pain, as much as it grieves me to see you struggle, all this must be, in order for you to totally and completely come to the end of your own...
Girls,
When a man hurts you, mentally, physically, or emotionally, he does not deserve you. He is telling you that your beauty was made for him and that he has control over it and you. No man has that power.
Our beauty was made by God to shine in a bleak and broken world. We are perfect through him. Don’t seek out approval when you have already been approved by He who loves everything aboutyou, even...

You.
You could have been anyone else, but God made you, you. It was no accident. There is a purpose of your existence, and it will glow like a candle in the dark. Be yourself, and never let anyone convince you that you are nothing spectacular, because you are.
“So heavy is the earth and heavier our hearts still yet they dangle so gently in...”

That all that you do is sacred.

Opportunities
I think one downfall I have concerning my walk with Christ is how I let opportunities to share my faith pass without even realizing it. Picture this. It’s monday morning, you’re in class - tired as ever. Your friend asks you what you did this weekend. You tell him about your philosophy paper and how your brother broke your iPod. You tell him that you went skating and visited your grandparents. But...
When I Go Down - Relient K
If and when I can clear myself of this clouded mind, I’ll watch myself settle down into a place where peace can search me out and find that I’m so ready to be found. Any control I thought I had just slipped through my hands while my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me - reprimands me. Then and there I confess, I’ll blame all this on my selfishness yet You...

Am I Understood? - Relient K
Sometimes it’s embarrassing to talk to You; to hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through this version of myself I try to hide behind. I’ll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified. And sometimes I’m so thankful for Your loyalty - Your love regardless of the mistakes I make will spoil me. My confidence is, in a sense, a gift You’ve given me...
