God blesses us and looks at us with favor, not to give us things or to make our lives leisurely and easy to endure, but instead to show others how to know him, how to be saved.
Sanctification is no quick fix
perspective
Flat tires and wild imaginings
Like a constrictor squeezing harder with each gasp, the feeble mind eliminates any rational line of thinking. It is why anxiety can feel so suffocating.
The comforts of home
Following his lead does not lead to an inviting home on a temporal plane. It is a battle for the heart and mind against the quiet of fleeting, shallow fulfillment.
I’m with Him!
When we come face-to-face with God, there is no appropriating His name or power for ourselves. When we know Him, there can only be awe, reverence, fear before the depths of His presence.
Memento mori
Jesus is the perfect and when we see him, we won’t worry about any half measures.
