Burning Coals that Glow

It's cold and the only comfort you can find is the heat emanating from a few pieces of burning coals. But sooner or later the coals will slowly loose heat and embers will run out of its glow. It's cold again. But the burning hearts of those who believe and have faith in God will remain strong if only they stay together. Very much like the coals that provided heat and comfort in a cold winter night, embers glowing strongly and giving off the much needed heat - we, the Body, will glow strongly, only if we remain in Him who sustains us. As one we can become stronger - each one providing comfort and warmth to one another.

Duty to Delight

How can we turn something out of duty a source of joy and delight. It all begins from the heart. A grateful heart brings forth a compassionate hand to care. A grateful heart prods our mouth to speak comforting words. A grateful heart moves our feet to seek people who have no knowledge of the joy we know. A grateful heart leads to action.

Who is the center of your delight? May your duties be not out of obligation. May you fulfill them from your heart with pure delight.



Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4

Change

Everything change. Seasons change, people change, circumstances change. With all these changes, God is the only one who remains the same. He is never changing, yesterday, today, and forever. Hold on to that truth. This truth helps you know who to depend to. Changes in seasons may take you by surprise, people you thought you've known may become an entirely different person in mere seconds, the circumstances you're in right now may turn up side down, but our God our Father still remains the same. All things to Him are known, every season, every day, every second.
