God Does the Impossible When All Seems Lost

We have struggled for many years to have children of our own. About a year ago, we realised that it might not be God’s plan for us to be parents, and so the grieving process began. As another Mother’s Day approached with empty arms, I knew I could not go through life like this, worshipping motherhood instead of Jesus Christ. I did not want to be sad, desperate and jealous. The bitterness in my heart threatened to smother me, but I had no idea how to stop feeling this way. Yet I also knew that I could not change my heart on my own. What was impossible for me was possible for God.

Even When His Answer is No, God is Still Good

It is beautiful when God answers your heart’s prayer with a miraculous answer. In those moments when we experience clear evidence of our Father’s favour it is easy to believe that God is good and He loves us. Unfortunately, in this sin-cursed world, these miracles are the exception, rather than the norm. More often than not our Lord delays his answer, calling us to a season of waiting. Other times, even when we persevere in prayer and continue to wait (im)patiently, He does not give us what we want but rather answers with a “no”. As hard as it is to keep faith in the waiting, can we still believe God is good when he says no?

{Book Club} Lie #3: You need to live your truth

Even though we live in the information age where we have all the facts are at our fingertips, truth has never been more disputed. Celebrities excuse any decision with the lie that they are only living their truth, and the rest of us must accept this or be labelled intolerant.

Broken heart mended with band aid

Healing hope for broken hearts

This world is an ugly unfair place, filled with evil and injustice. Bad things happen to good people and bad people get everything they want. We learn repeatedly that there will never be a “happily ever after” this side of God’s kingdom, but when our hearts are broken again we are left feeling hopeless.
