Wrestling with God
Sometimes we just need to "have it out with God". In the Old Testament we see examples such as the entire book of Job, or Jacob's wrestling with an angel (Genesis 32). And in the New Testament we see examples both where as a result of fierce determination someone receives what they want (Mark 7)...

We are called to align the sacrifices of our lives with the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. In doing so, we are able to rise with Him to new life. During the Last Supper, Jesus gives us the model for how we can do this: take, bless, break, give. "While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and...

Forgiveness with Corrie ten Boom and Jesus
Lent is a time for stripping back other things in our lives so that we can see our relationship with God more clearly. As we allow the light of God's love to enter our hearts, it's natural that we might start to see areas of darkness; bitterness, hurt, pain, unforgiveness. This meditation is an...

The Intimacy of the Beloved
Jesus lives with intimacy with the Father at His right hand. We are told of the intimacy the beloved disciple shares with Jesus during the Last Supper in John's Gospel. In moments of closeness and security, we learn about ourselves and the other. What is waiting for you in intimacy with Jesus?

The Litany of Humility is a prayer that has taken various shapes from varying authors over the years. It is a prayer that helps us to seek a single gaze on Jesus, stripping back all desire and fear that keeps us from this. As we enter Lent, this is a beautiful prayer to help us enter into the...

The Gift of Space
Perhaps the real gift we are being invited to this Christmas is not what we give, but what we take away. Space can feel like a void that can highlight our insecurities about who we are, our purpose, and what we have to offer. When we take away everything but God, we can be left feeling…

Day 1
Before you did anything, you were loved. He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:2-4...
