Learning to Love Again

It’s not always easy to love again when we have lost someone we loved, whether that’s a pet or a person. Yet as we are God’s people, fully created in love, I believe we have an obligation to open our hearts to love, whatever that looks like. It’s not always the same, and we don’t always feel perfectly ready. Still, allow yourself to love—whatever that looks like.

Hidden Pain: Looking at Those Around Us with A Lens of Grace

All around us people are suffering. Most of the time they still have one foot planted in the now, but sometimes that foot starts sliding toward an invisible line between “hanging in there” and hopelessness. Perhaps your smile or your kind word, perhaps your grace, can be the stopgap. Perhaps your thoughtful, compassionate questions and care can help steer them to the help they need.

How Do I Speak About Jesus When I’m Scared or Unprepared?

One of the most comforting things about being a Christian is knowing when we walk with God, we get a new best friend who takes up residence in our hearts. The Holy Spirit is our advocate, helper, and forever friend. He gives us power when we have none to do the will and the work of the Lord.
