Acceptable part 2

"That's unacceptable!" I think that's one of the most common reactions to things these days. Something isn't exactly how we think it should be, so we won't accept it. And the tragedy of it is when we find each other unacceptable. When we try to make other people live up to OUR standards. As if our...

The more I see this, the more sickened I am by it: People trying to be someone they are not. That's about the fakest thing there is. AND it's impossible. How could you be someone you're not? And why would you want to? Well, I know why people want to. Because they think they aren't good enough. But...

I'm in it for the real thing. And the real thing... is love. How do we keep our affections on things above, and not things on the earth? By keeping our affections on love. I'm telling you, if Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega (and He is)... if He is the beginning and the end... then that means we...

In my life I have two lists. A list of things that are important--worth jumping a fence over--and a list of things that aren't important. The "important things" list really only has two things on it: God, and people. The other list gets things added to it every day. Logan doesn't even ask me what I...

Love is real. That's why it's all I seem to talk about, or write about, or think about. Because I can't think of anything I'd RATHER talk about, or write about, or think about. God IS love. I'm really trying to frame everything--EVERYTHING--in the reference of love. Jesus is the Alpha and the...

Ogres are like onions, right? Because they have layers. What you see is not always what you get. There's something unseen under the surface. And you have to dig a little deeper to see it. You have to look INTO people instead of just looking AT people. You have to stop judging by appearance and...

More and more lately I've been shifting my focus away from frivilous things and onto important things. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what, but I feel like I just don't have as much time to waste as I used to. I don't want to do things just to do them. Just because society...

Daddy's Eyes part 5

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. So isn't it interesting that Noah found GRACE in the eyes of the Lord? When Noah looked God in the face (Jesus is the visible face of the invisible God) he saw what was inside. He saw grace. And mercy. And love. And when you see it... you be it. What's...

Do you know what grace does? Or rather, what grace DID? It doesn't sweep sin under the rug. It OBLITERATED sin. Look at Romans 5:20, "Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." Notice that this verse is PAST TENSE. Why? Because the...

How Daddy sees you is how you need to see yourself. Because Daddy is the light that reveals your TRUE self. Look at Deuteronomy 32:9-10, "For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about,...
