Unqualified

When you apply for a job, there are Required Qualifications and Desired Qualifications for most job listings.

Leaning on Your Own Understanding

How many of you have made a decision based on what you thought the other person was thinking, or how you thought they would respond? Recently, God reminded me of a time when I had leaned on my own understanding. Had I ignored God and not corrected what He was revealing to me, then the […]

How to Love Someone You Do Not Like

What happens when your heart has become harden towards another person due to a circumstance and you find it hard to love the person in spite of their apology or lack thereof? There have been times in my life, thankfully not many, where I felt it hard to pray for another person because they had […]
