60% of Bhutan must be covered in trees - it's the law.

They say time heals—and I think this can be true—but only if healing is truly the goal. Time grows the seeds that are planted, watered, and fertilized. Plant beauty, grow beauty. Plant thorns, grow thorns. Time will allow for either. Let's ask the Lord to help us plant wisely.

Forgiveness is not pretending like it didn’t happen or like it didn’t hurt. That’s called lying. Forgiveness is a decision to release a debt regardless of how you feel.

In starkest contrast to the hate that characterizes much of today's political and ethical divides, Jesus never disagreed with someone he didn't die for. Willingness to give your life for the other is the condition of Christ-like disagreement. #DisagreeLikeJesus

Often we're quick to remember others’ hurtful words but slow to remember God’s healing words. Let's set our minds on things above by choosing to remember God’s words, repeat God’s words, and believe God’s words about us. We must let God’s Word become the words of our story.

Philippians 4:8 ...whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Until we become kingdom-minded and not denominationally, class or racially-minded, we will not be Christ-minded. Until we are Christ-minded, we will not be socially-minded to address the divisions between us. #kingdomagenda

Rest for your heart is not found in the faithfulness of your obedience, but in the perfect righteousness of Jesus.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Psalm 18:2)

Elections are consequential events but across the globe today there are billions of people in need of the Gospel, food, clean water, shelter, & meds. It’s not wrong to care about elections but may God give us greater passion for the broken hearted than for the politics of the day

On this day, in 1536, William Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake for translating the Scriptures into English for the common man. His final words, “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.” How we need such bold and courageous men and women in our own day.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint. Jeremiah 31:25. ABBA FATHER, it seems the whole of humankind is weary and faint. How we need to drink from Your streams of living water! Refresh each soul today, we pray, with Your mercy and grace.🙏🏻

When we hold onto anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness, we do the devil’s work for him. But when we let God help us trade anger for kindness, resentment for compassion and bitterness for gentleness... it splits this cold world wide open with the warmth of Jesus.

You are my God and I will give You thanks; You are my God and I will exalt You. Psalm 118:28 LORD, I know I have a choice each morning:Thank You and trust You in and for all things, or foolishly believe that I can do Life without You. I can’t. I choose YOU🙏🏻
