Let me smell of your fragrance
We will always often overflow in speech what is full in our hearts. It's also one of the ways others can judge our character or tell what we are truly made of. Taking garlic and expecting to smell roses is impossible.You and I will have an overflow of what we have taken in. (Luke 6:43-45)

Test of obedience
How easy is it for us to discern nudging from Holy Spirit? Sometimes our next instruction from God is dependent on our heeding the last thing he told us to do.Yet these may come in form of nudgings within us which means we act on purely by faith and most certainly in obedience.Those led by the...

Just a brief encouragement for us to approach God in confidence knowing that we can't ask for fish and He serves us with a snake on our plate. This thought is vividly tickling! (Scripture reference Matthew 7:7-11)
