The Universal Presence is a fact. God is here. The whole universe is alive with His life. And He is no strange or foreign God, but the familiar Father of our Lord Jesus Christ whose love has for these thousands of years enfolded the sinful race of men. And always He is trying to get our attention, to reveal Himself to us, to communicate with us. We have within us the ability to know Him if we will but respond to His overtures. (And this we call pursuing God!) We will know Him in increasing degree as our receptivity becomes more perfect by faith and love and practice.

12 Jan“Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.
Our gifts and talents should also be turned over to Him. They should be recognized for what they are, God’s loan to us, and should never be considered in any sense our own. We have no more right to claim credit for special abilities than for blue eyes or strong muscles.”A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God.

a cultivated heart.

my story is important.
12 Dec“My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours… it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us more powerfully and personally. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually.”
- Frederick Buechner
we all have a story to tell.
a story that will be undoubtedly familiar to another.
it’s in essence, what binds us all together.
circumstances. fear. tragedy. joy. pain. love.
its life, and we’re all living it.
maybe your story, your rescue, your redemption - will be that beam of light for another.
the light that someone needs to put one foot in front of the other.
that they would see our refuge and strength.
our ever-present help in time in need.
this is why my story is important.
