Unexpected ways

Unexpected ways. How He pierces hearts. Pursues the lost lamb.

Opens eyes to see. And ears to hear.

During our years in a desert city, a believer shares her story. Tells me the very moment she turned and followed Christ. 

Reading Scripture. And not the usual evangelistic passage.

But pointing to the One who is worthy of our praise.

Be fruitful

Be fruitful and multiply. Woven throughout the Word of God. 

From the garden of Eden. And the covenant with Abraham. Into the new covenant. The Vine and branches. 

The church.

Earthen vessel

Through the years, Paul’s description rings true. God forms the earthen vessel for a purpose.

To display His truth. Reveal His glory. 

Somewhere along the way 2 Corinthians 4:7 becomes a life verse for me. A reminder of my weakness and His strength. What I’m here for.

But one year, I wrestle with that image. In a new way. Because someone I always consider strong is suddenly weak.
