Thoughts culled from my random file, gathered from my Twitter tweets, Facebook updates and Instagrams. About divine love, relationship with God and new life in Christ. Some have come to me in moments of quiet reflection, some in interaction with others. Offered as “jump starts” for your faith.
- All humanity is connected, so in joining himself to humanity, Christ joined all humanity to God.
- Jesus is the light of God who gives life to all and rescues us from our darkness.
- The Father sends the Holy Spirit to bring forth in us the life of the Son.
- The Incarnation was not a divine afterthought or merely a necessary solution to a terrible problem. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us because that was God’s desire from the beginning.
- Faithfulness is faith working through love.
- Faithfulness is faith lived out over time, turning to God in all weathers and every season.
- Faith works through love. Love casts out fear.
- Faith is like a seed. It must be planted before it can grow.
- Neither faith nor doubt are fickle or fleeting. They are orientations of the heart.
- When we focus on our faith, how small it seems. When we focus on Jesus, how great our faith becomes.
- My paradigm is the God who is love and whose grace is far greater than any evil the world could ever produce.
- God doesn’t distance himself from us because of our sin. He comes near and rescues us from it. So the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
- Any time you think the Christian life is something you do for God, you’ve got it all backwards.
- God is love. If he ceases to be love, even for a moment, he ceases to be God. God is loving in all his ways, always and toward all.
- What if the love of God is deeper than hell? That changes everything.
- Today I recklessly pursue the God who is love, whose love relentlessly pursues me.
- Jesus is the perfect expression of God in human form. If we don’t see God as just like Christ, we are not seeing him as he is.
- In the Incarnation, God became human so that we might become divine ... but also that we might become truly human.
- By his love, by his Son, by his Spirit, God makes his enemies his friends.
- Run wild, King Jesus, through Muslim camps and show them your great love for them. Through dreams and visions may they come to know you. Amen.
- Today I contemplate my divinity in Christ, his divine life in me. It is a good day.
- Christ in me changes the world.
- In Jesus the Messiah, God has joined himself to humanity and broken the power of sin and death.
- Jesus is the True Light who gives light to everyone in the world. What if today we looked for the light of Christ in each other?
