Redeeming Sensitivity

Susan Delaney was mad at herself.  After a misunderstanding with her coworker, she willed her voice and face to stay intact.  But she lost the battle.  As she stood in his office, her eyes misted and her lips quivered.

Touching Invisible Places

To be loved and understood is the cry of the human heart. Someone knows you inside in out, remembers what you’ve been through, and how it affects you today.

I AM with You

I squeeze this verse for comfort. Fear’s a menace to my mind. I’m no stranger to its power; Fierce, it lies me down half-bind. I’m no stranger to My Savior, whose right hand upholds me tight. As I grope for hope, half-doubting, trusted Love remakes me light. “Why are you downcast, O my soul? … Put your hope in God”  Psalm 42:11 Talked to your soul, lately?  David needed to remind...
