Do you ever feel this way? And then immediately following is the reminder that the Lord never asks more of us than we can bear. My reply is… you’ve got more confidence in me than I do then. (I hope it’s a small chuckle I hear…) But you know what I mean, whatever is happening […]
Have you ever thought about God having feelings? Too trite or insignificant or maybe too disrespectful? Why? Put away those reactions and think about the question – there is a reason. Do you believe the Triune God has feelings? “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom
This thought passed through my thinking as I was attending a meeting recently. We sometimes forget that -1- can make a tremendous statement. Now… apply this to you and what you do and say (and don’t). I’ve heard it said that it really isn’t all that important since it was only me (1). Not true.
