This Kind Of Love

Take the picture of The Cross. What kind of example does it show? We are to never give up on those we love. We should put others before us. I remember before I got saved I would shut God out. Always questioning why He would let me stay hurt and not do anything about it. Over and over I would turn God a way when what He wanted to do was show me His love because He knew I was lonely but I kept shutting the door on Him and not letting Him in. I wanted Him to change my situation but He wanted to change me. Sometimes we bring pain on ourselves by not letting God love on us and we claim He isn't doing anything about our situation but sometimes the best thing He can do is to change us. Is God trying to change you? One thing I remember from my experience is God never left or gave up. The door may have been shut but He was still on the other side, waiting for me to open it. I didn't need to ask Him into my life, I just needed to allow Him in. He never gives up on us and He won't give up on you. Even when you've sinned, even when you turn Him away, even when you're blaming Him, even when you're hurt, even when you're lonely, you might give up on Him but He never gives up on you. He may allow space and allow you to be alone, when you have asked, but He isn't far. He is only right behind the door. Just because it is closed, doesn't mean He isn't still there. You just can't see Him. His love brings peace and joy that lasts even in hard times. He's knocking at the door of your heart today, will you let Him in?

In A Different Way

Many parents have their way of doing things...I propose we do things In A Different Way here are some ways parents DO their things The "Empowerment" Way 1. Because I can, because I said so The "Comparison" Way 2.  So and So would never do that! Why can't you be like (name here). The "Simple" Way   3. your grounded. I'm taking your phone! Go to your room! Tell your dad (tell your mom) These ways can work (they often do, ask any parent!) but we aren't here to do it the EASY way, we're here to teach our kids. The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

Meaningful Moments

 "Love is enough" The quote that many have requoted for years. While some may say it is true, is it really? Is love really enough? What does that even mean? Well, some would say love is a feeling so if we're going based solely on that fact, then sorry to say but no it is not enough. See that is the problem, we base our relationship on how we are feeling. We base the ranking of our family on how we feel about each other and whether we fight or not. You may not be aware but ALL...let me say it again, ALL relationships have their ups and downs, every family fights once in a while. If you really base it solely on that, you'll be let down every time. "So what do we base it on?" you may ask; You base it on actions, its a conscience decision everyday to say "no matter what, I will stick around and fight for you, for US." That is what you signed up for when you said "I do" and many of us are standing at the altar with our children present while w
