    Joyful Joyful (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Lately, I’ve been using hymns as a launching pad for my time with God. They’ve been a rich gift of beauty and a demonstration of the fullness of life we have in Christ. One that has particularly stood out recently, is Joyful Joyful. Henry Van Dyke’s hymn is a familiar one - I’ve known it for as long as I can remember. But as I read the words the other day, they captured me anew.“All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays, stars and angels sing around Thee, centre of

    Would He Still Be Enough? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Faced with a situation that was out of my control, I prayed, I hoped; I even begged God to come through for me in the way that I wanted. Eventually I had to face a deeper question: “If the answer didn’t come the way I hoped, would He still be enough?”It’s easy to worship and be thankful when we feel blessed; when the breakthrough comes or when our prayers are answered the way we hoped. But what if the thing we’ve been praying for never comes, or the answer looks different than we expected? Is ou

    “That’s a lot of smoke,” I thought as I walked back up the hill from throwing the rubbish into the bin. I was a bit annoyed actually. Right as I had planned to sweep the veranda in preparation for a friend coming over for tea, the neighbours seemed to be burning rubbish. Since it was a windy day, those black ashes were sure to fall like snow on my veranda just as they had earlier in the week when neighbours on the other side of our house had burned their rubbish.But, as I got closer, I realised

    Put Your Hope in the Lord (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    The imagery of wildflowers has been a reminder of the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness in the lengthy waiting season I’ve recently sojourned through. We’ve finally come to the end of a seven year adoption process abroad, and we are currently on our first visit to North America as a family. However, the lack of daily rhythm, multiple hospital visits, intense sickness, derailed plans, hospital bills, and delays in celebrating with family within the first few weeks were so discouraging. We’ve tried

    What Pleases the Lord (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Hidden in the middle of Ephesians 5 (NIV) is one small verse that recently stuck out like a sore thumb; I realised I had read it many times before, but this time God fully highlighted it to me. In verse ten it says, “and find out what pleases the Lord.” Short, simple, to the point but so loaded at the same time. The verses before and after, talk about us once being in darkness, but now, as believers, we are in the light and are to expose the darkness - but I have no recollection of reading or se
