Throwing Seeds
“If I can do just the smallest percentage of what God has done for me, give out the mercy He has shown me, and share how His love has impacted me, then I just believe those small little seeds that are thrown out can get rooted into hearts that cry out for wisdom & love. I don’t see how anyone who nurtures & feeds those roots can’t impact anyone they come in contact with because it’s God’s goodness growing there. How can love, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness not turn a life around? These are...

“Doing the right thing rarely takes the form of doing the easy thing. Sometimes doing the right thing will break your heart & the resulting pain can feel unbearable.

“Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Have you heard the saying, “If Bob has a problem with everyone, Bob is usually the problem”? Bob has a tendency to exude irritability, negative thinking, a legalistic spirit, and an abrasive personality? And to top it off, he speaks openly about his active role as a Christian. What impact does a person like this really have on the world around him? Do others feel drawn to him? What effectiveness does a Christian honestly produce without...
