Jesus did not rebuke Peter for thinking he could walk on water. He rebuked him for thinking he could not.

the Sanctum
Sometimes, I feel ashamed to come into His presence. I long to seek Him, yet when He wants to touch me, I hold away.
Why? Maybe it’s cause the rest of my life doesn’t reflect Him. I feel undeserved to walk into the inner temple. How can I enter into Your holiness unclean?
But that is no longer true.
You have made me clean. You have made me a new creation. You have torn the...

Sorting through my Doubts: Significant. →
aquestionablefaith:
One of our deepest desires is to be significant. To be of value. To be important. We all want to be remembered, and have the chance to say at the end of our lives , “I am of worth”. Whether for good or for bad what makes us come alive is the thought that someone will notice us. That someone knows…

the Courier
I prayed this morning. I’m not in the habit of formal prayer, but now I think I got to.
Before I could even ask God why we formally prayed, He showed me how Jesus prayed. So I was like, “Yea, OK God, I guess there’s nothing wrong with structured prayer.” But there’s so much more to doing it just because Jesus did it! He starts with:
Father in heaven…

What to Do If You Wake Up Feeling Fragile

to Love
It’s OK to love God…
based on the gifts He’s given you.
When I first fell in love, I fell in love because He came down and touched me. He set me free. And I loved God.
When I was growing as an infant, I kept loving because He showed me more of Himself, and gave me little gifts. And I loved God.
Then at some point, things changed. I felt that I was in a place where I...

the Go
The greatest thing God can tell you is:
You can’t screw this up.
As in, there’s no way you can do anything to mess anything up.
When God gives you this word… wow. So many times I find myself hesitant to take action, when I remember this word and just go, “What the heck why not!”
God wants us to have confidence! He wants us to have faith! Did you know that in...

What a year.
It was a tough year. I came into it running, thinking that I knew what I was doing. But honestly, You’ve tested and tried me in more ways that I can remember or imagine.
So a lot of my faith was shaken. Our relationship has changed. But You remain constant, and I know You’re shaping me.
In this year’s beginning, You said, “I’m going to lead you...

Our goal shouldn’t be to raise up amazing leaders. It should first and foremost be to raise up amazing followers: amazing listeners, and hearers and doers.
How should we expect to raise up leaders when we ourselves cannot be led? How should we be expect to lead people when we cannot lead ourselves?
I don’t think we’d want to raise up a bunch of Sauls…

the Intake
There are two reactions you can get when being reminded of God’s overwhelming love:
Acknowledge it and also your undeservedness, then focus on your lack and how you’re going to try to love God more.
Acknowledge it and also your undeservedness, then focus on His love and how He loves and loves and loves you!
Honestly, which is better? I’ve always focused on how to justify the...

GOD IS MY ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER. He is the General; he keeps me accountable. He gives me the objectives, and he leads by example. He makes sure that everything that needs to be done is done. He makes sure that my life is being shaped into his character.
My brothers are my COMRADES. We will fight and die together. We will shape ourselves and our surroundings. We will go through bitter...

God won’t cut you off just because you are unfruitful. No.
In the verse, the term “take away” came from the Greek word airo, which means: to raise up, elevate, lift up

I am reminded again.
Trying to relax, and ended up encountered You all over again.
By facing one of the worse fear in life, “Height and dropping.
In desperation I prayed to You, You spoke so clearly, “I love You. I am holding onto your heart.”
I have peace rushed into my heart. I have no more…

Dang, so true.
The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes— a reflex action caused by self-disgust.
Against You alone I have sinned. Then I will understand grace.
I love you! Thanks for being so patient with me,
Love.

the Sweetest Embrace
Sometimes, I just want someone.
Someone to whom I can say, “I love you.”
And they’ll love back the same way too.
And then I remember I have someone,
Someone who says, “I love you”
All the time, wanting me to love the same way too.
I’ve almost forgotten how to say “I love You.” Sometimes, words so simple can keep everything alive,
Love.
