John 14:27 I love walking in the snowfall. Seeing the beauty of the trees glistening from the sparkle of the snowflakes. The quiet hush that comes as the flurries blanket the sounds of the world. And the great peace that comes in the quiet moments. Where the world is veiled in a soft stillness. A… Continue reading December 3rd – John 14:27

John 7:38 All smaller bodies of water eventually run into a larger body of water. And along the way they provide life giving hydration to nourish the land.

October 25th – John 1:16
John 1:16 We all sin against God daily. And not just once, but multiple times each day. Some sins we are fully aware of, some we commit without knowing. Thankfully, for those who have received Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we have access to an endless, overflowing source of God's unmerited favor and love.… Continue reading October 25th – John 1:16
October 9th- John 15:1-8
John 15:1-8 Jesus beautifully portrays the relationship between Himself as the vine and us as the branches.

John 8:44 “He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him.

May 20th – 1 John 2:17

May 13th – Romans 6:4
Romans 6:4 Receiving Jesus as Savior is more than a get out of hell free card. It’s the beginning of a true, spiritual transformation. And even better, a deep, abiding relationship with God. Paul uses the image of burial and resurrection to illustrate that transformation. As followers of Jesus we have been "buried with Him… Continue reading May 13th – Romans 6:4

John 20:16 I love the imagery of Jesus as our Good Shepherd. And how each of us knows His voice when He calls our name. It was Mary's name, spoken by the Lord, which opened her eyes to the truth. And upon seeing the truth, she fell at the feet of Jesus holding tightly and… Continue reading April 30 – John 20:16
April 28th – 1 John 2:15
1 John 2:15 I used to struggle when I would read John telling believers to love God and each other, but not the things of the world. Because what about my loved ones? Is it a sin to want to both be with God and to stay in the world with them? But then I… Continue reading April 28th – 1 John 2:15
