You are never too old or too big for God to carry you. He is a personal God, your Abba, your gentle Father. He sees your frailty, your need, your infirmity. Instead of sending someone to tend to your needs, He gives you Himself. From the time you surrender your life to Christ to the day you reach the Promised Land, God will carry you as a loving father carries the child he loves. Gently, tenderly, lovingly.

The God Who Hung the Stars

Everyone is Included
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NLT) One of the concepts we struggle with as human beings is God’s mercy. We are wary of grace in its simplest form. We …
Promises
“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” Luke 1:45 Promises; they’re a dime a dozen these days. Politicians dole them out like candy. Commercials thrive on them, promising everything from better health to inner fulfillment and happiness. Bosses sometimes use them as ‘incentive.’ God’s promises, on the …
Unto Us
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). Unto you… unto me… a child is born. God, the Almighty God, gets personal. …
Son of the Most High
“You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” Luke …
