The Place of God's Blessing
Years ago, the Holy Spirit said something funny to me: "Three hugs a day keeps strife away."
It was in January, around my wedding anniversary. My husband and I always celebrate, of course, but it's also the season of "new resolutions" in life, and in our case, marriage. We had just come off a rough year and I was praying for change.
Eyes of Faith
Ever catch yourself daydreaming…? 
Ever wonder how that really works? It's as if your eyesight literally stops working and a projector illuminates an image or a scene. We could say your "inside eyes" are turned on and can see something different than your natural eyes. In fact, it is impossible to daydream with your natural eyes.
Healed at the Cross
Healing comes in all shapes and sizes.
I'm always in awe of the care God puts into the tiniest details. People can receive healing of heart for their brokenness, healing of body for sickness and disease, and healing of mind for trouble and despair.
But one thing we need to be clear on: God didn't "heal" our spirits. Our spirit was born-again, meaning it was created new.
In Your Face
Satan's ultimate deception is to show truth as error or error as truth.
But we have the Holy Spirit to help us discern!
Abide in Him
If you've ever used super glue to repair an item and accidentally gotten some on your fingers, then you understand permanently fixed. It's not easy to separate what's been glued together (in a micro-second)!
Keep this image in mind as you look at the instructions Jesus gave us when He used the word abide. It describes someone or something that is permanently fixed, versus having an occasional, or even semi-frequent, behavior pattern.
The Revealing
You've got to love the Apostle Paul. He walked in divine humility and confidence, all at the same time.
In his letter to the Galatians, he opened with this greeting: "Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from their present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen" (Galatians 1:3-5).
King of Hearts
In the famous children's novel, Alice in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts is an interesting character. Overseeing the kingdom with the King of Hearts, she changes from pleasant to enraged every other minute. At the slightest offense, she shouts, "Off with their heads!" It seems ordering executions is one of her hobbies. However, as the story goes, very few were actually beheaded. The kind King of Hearts quietly pardoned many of his subjects while his foul-tempered wife wasn't looking.
Don't Ignore
The Bible says if the earth drinks in the rain and then produces a good crop or healthy plants or trees, then it is blessed. But if the earth drinks in the rain and produces weeds, thorns, and thistles, it is useless and cursed by the landowner (Hebrews 6:7-8).
We can understand this principle. A teacher, for example, pours herself into her students and expects good results. If she has a student who continuously fails, she is frustrated, although possibly compassionate, but nonetheless her student will fail and not pass the class. This same principle can be applied to the workplace, the home, and God's kingdom.
Right or Wrong Way?
Have you ever experienced a time when you didn't realize you were breaking the law, and then how it felt when it was brought to your attention? It's not a good feeling. Even if your actions were initially unintentional, the realization immediately brings fear and a sinking feeling in your stomach. (Can you say 'ugh'?)
The Winner's Circle
Endurance describes a person with the ability or strength to continue or last, especially despite fatigue, stress, or some other adverse condition. It is the picture of bearing pain and hardships. One image that comes to mind is from the reality TV show "Survivor" where all the contestants were required to hold their arms up, seeing who could last the longest.
