Mutual, but not Equal

Our relationship with God can never be equal, but it can be mutual. According to the dictionary, mutual means “directed by each toward the other.” God in His mercy “directed” His love toward us even while we were still sinners.

Keeper of My Heart

I just read these words this morning and found such comfort and encouragement in them: “For You alone know the hearts of all men.” (1 Kings 8:39) I have spent the last few days dealing with some painful issues with someone. Over and over again I thought, “If they just knew my heart.” If they […]
