Sometimes the rock foundation of our faith is found in the simple actions we take to help one another.

The nugget I will hold onto is that faith is precious and should never be treated carelessly.

“Never judge anyone, condemn anyone, blame anyone, or value anyone based on things they do not choose.”

From the desert where he was tempted to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he spent his last night in prayer before his death, Jesus prayed.

Woman unbroken and undeterred! Woman who stood up from the foot of His cross and went on.

We somehow think our lack of forgiveness is a punishment for the other person. In reality, it is a burden we heap on ourselves.

We need to always be attentive to where the light is shining.

Being humble enough to let God complete me is being perfect. An attitude of complete surrender to the Father of who we are – the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, chips and cracks is perfection at its finest. It makes us one with God.
