I AM the one you seek
The name “I AM” is the Lord’s treasure detector. When Jesus says it, he is urging, “Search for treasure here. I want to show you more of who I AM.”
When your world has changed
God taught them not to be driven by panic. He showed them a completely different way. When our world has changed, their story from long ago can help us too.
Darkness, betrayal and the heartbeat of God
It awes me again every time I see it. Leaning back on Jesus’ chest, at the moment of Jesus’ betrayal, John heard the heartbeat of God
You have circled this mountain long enough
It may be in a month that’s little noticed when the earth moves under you. And God says, “You’ve stayed here long enough.” And something within you shifts.
God is hunting for hearts
God is hunting for hearts. “Not hearts of paper and lace,” he says. “I’m seeking human hearts that are open, tender, alive.”
