WHAT YOU COULD NEVER DO FOR YOURSELF
Every morning we wake up and often in our own strength we try to do better…….we try harder at home, harder at school, harder at work. But in our own strength it can be exhausting and even trying to be better people seems to not work out right either. There is always something missing or … More WHAT YOU COULD NEVER DO FOR YOURSELF
THE BEST INSTEAD OF THE COMFORTABLE
Paul David Tripp says in his devotional book: New Morning Mercies, that grace isn’t lazy and that we were created to work. Our Creator knows what is truly best for us, but how often do we choose comfort over best? It is our human nature to want comfort. I know I choose it and often … More THE BEST INSTEAD OF THE COMFORTABLE

JESUS made Paul HIS own and HE makes you HIS own too. HE calls you friend, not just a servant, but a friend……. JOHN 15: 14 “YOU ARE MY FRIENDS IF YOU DO WHAT I COMMAND YOU.” And so we are a friend of JESUS, treasured and loved and we are to love our friends, … More HE HAS MADE YOU HIS FRIEND

Mara: Today’s episode covers two territories from Heavensreef: what genuine humility looks like and where it comes from, and how a single word from Scripture can … More Podcast Episode: Words And Humility……In Case you missed it!
SHALLOW PLEASURES/ETERNAL COMFORTS
I am slowly coming to believe that if in our lives, we were never shattered – what then? The healing process is painful and deep, continuous and then somehow…….glorious! I don’t know if any of us would invite pain upon ourselves, to be broken and betrayed……but JESUS did! HE broke HIS body for you and … More SHALLOW PLEASURES/ETERNAL COMFORTS
LET IT REST!
A friend long ago said to me: LET IT REST. And isn’t that what we want to do with a problem or a troubling circumstance? Sometimes our issues overwhelm us and we go over and over and ruminate a problem…….but scripture tells us to give it a rest. It’s ok if we say to ourselves, … More LET IT REST!
