Calvary Gives All A Chance
While Jesus’s death on the cross does not automatically save people, it does offer everyone a chance to be saved, even those we might consider vile or unreachable. Saul of Tarsus is a perfect example.
My Father Said
I used to think that God did not Himself hurt us but allowed hurt in our lives. That is not true. Lamentations 3:31-33 speaks of God causing suffering but also speaks of His compassion and love.
Never Feel the Need to Hide
Although we sin, there is no need to hide from God. He is forgiving and loves us dearly. He also gives us options and allows us to make choices - to seek Him or another path.
Painting Over Scars
So often we live in shame instead of embracing God's healing of our brokenness. Scars are the pictures of wounds that have been healed!
