God’s kingdom isn’t about fairness. It’s about God’s goodness. It’s about more than economic justice – it’s about grace. And the grace God bestows on us depends not on our merit or worthiness but on His love for us.

Irrevocable
Fortunately, God’s gifts will never be recalled or revoked. He doesn’t bless us one day, then snatch it back the next. He doesn’t say, “Oops! I did a poor job on that. Send it back.”
Keep the Seal Tight
Guest Post by Author C.A. Simonson “To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. Their minds and consciences have been corrupted.” Titus 1:15 As I rearranged the canned food in my cupboard, I thanked the Lord for the beautiful golden peaches, ruby red …
Our God is Greater
How often I forget that God is the one who is leading and I’m simply called to follow. I get all worked up when I see a hurdle looming up ahead, wondering how I’m going to cope with it instead of quietly taking God’s hand knowing He won’t lead me where He hasn’t preceded me.

When the Righteous Pray
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer. 1 Peter 3:12 (NIV) There are three types of listeners. The first type is a polite listener. They might ask how you’re doing but don’t really want to know. If you start to open up, their gaze …
