Have you ever wondered why God continually requests that we bring our burdens to him? The simple answer is that our burdens are heavy and He is the only one that can offer us rest (Matt 11:28-30). God wants to be in relationship with us. Psalm 139 shows us that He already knows our thoughts, our feelings, our whereabouts and everything that burdens us. When we give God …

Behold the Lamb of God
Picture your mother and father having to go to another place to be taxed while your mother was pregnant with you. That was the fate of Mary and Joseph, who left Nazareth to go to Bethlehem while Mary was pregnant with Jesus and about to give birth.

God knows that we live in a fallen world, that all have sinned and fall short of his glory.
We can no longer point fingers at …
Receive Benefits in Life
In John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the World.” We know that the word of God is true. God sent His Son, Jesus, to the earth to redeem humanity from the curse of sin and death (Gal 3:13) Without the shedding of blood, there could be no remission of sin, so Jesus died once so that we could have forgiveness of sin through him.
What benefits do you and I …
Review Your Life and Make Changes
Have you ever taken an inventory of your life? Without checking your own life and being aware of how you feel, you cannot make changes. I do not know what issues you are facing, but I chose to deal with “unforgiveness” because it is a common issue that many people face today. I will deal with guilt and fear in future posts.
Unforgiveness comes about when a …
