Scriptures – Forever Redeemed

Proverbs 27:7

The desire for fullness is one that we all have. It is in the satisfaction of being secure in the provision for our emotional, spiritual, physical needs we can find true rest. In absence of fullness there is hunger, desire, and want. We all can be guilty of ignoring that emptiness. Seeing it as aContinueContinue reading “Proverbs 27:7”

Galatians 5:22-24

I would like to say I am a very self-controlled person, but I am not. In fact, I am rather self-indulgent. Allowing things that aren’t for God’s glory, no matter how right they seem, to consume my attention and take space in my heart, is idolatry not control. Our pride can easily disguise itself inContinueContinue reading “Galatians 5:22-24”

When that happens my hands needed toContinueContinue reading “1 Thessalonians 5:23”

Hebrews 4:15-16

Those feelings of being unable to control aspects of life, of being weak or simply not good enough – that is God’s truth being revealed to our hearts. It’s a painful truth.

Romans 5:20

Grace is a wonderful and priceless gift. It goes on and fully covers faults and blemishes, but doesn’t conceal; it heals. It is a lightweight and pure balm. It can be applied to any imperfection that exists and never runs out. The supply is endless. The substance of grace is never in question; the applicationContinueContinue reading “Romans 5:20”
