christian relationships — Devotionals — The Art Of A Messy House

Look to God and for Him

In the face of hurt, look to the Healer.

In the face of the hard, He is there.

Faithful every moment, cast Him every care.

While we cannot see everything, God does. In the midst of our own limited sight, we must lean onto the One who sees and knows it all. From our own blind spots to the times we are blindsided by another person, God is not. He sees. He knows and He loves us through it.

In the clutter of what we carry, we may miss the beauty in the surrender. We may simply forget to look or we may become blinded by the excuses. Still, excuses do not eliminate the true Truth; they often avoid it. However, there is a better way…

Look to God and for Him.

Claiming Completion or Captivity: the Choice Before Us

Sometimes, the answer we are longing for is in the change we are resisting.

Change is not easy…

While change is normal, it is often uncomfortable and challenging. Therefore, our perception matters and our focus does too. We are not meant to stay the same. Evolving and growing is a beautiful gift. That is also true with relationships too.

We must not stay in our Egypt when God calls us out. We must also not go back…

Matters of the Heart (Part 1)

Let’s talk about emotions…

The ones that do not feel good, the ones that we know are not good for us and yet they can come up time and time again.

Let’s discuss how they often also lead us to forgiveness, time and time again.

Let’s chat about anger and even frustration.

I don’t know who needs of hear this but keep seeking God through ALL the moments and ALL the feelings. Because even in the midst of many emotions, God can grow such beauty.

Still, we need to seek God time and time again, leaning into Him in order to see it and receive it.

It is about the moments.

Sometimes, the simplest days and moments make for the best memories… if our eyes are not overshadowed by the emotions that are not good for our souls.

Read part 1 of this two-part post here and stay tuned for an episode about it too on the podcast.
