Puzzling the Father

Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. (C.S. Lewis.)

When we get envious or jealous, our life darkens. Soon, our awareness of God’s blessings fades away, blurred out by a grey fog of discontent.

When other people hurt us, we need to realize what the Devil’s scheme is. How does he want to use our injury and how can we stop him?

We don’t forgive because the other person deserves it. We forgive to heal. Forgiveness has the unique power to free us from a painful past.

Forgiveness isn’t for our enemies. Jesus asks us to forgive those who treat us badly because He wishes us to experience inner healing.

Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life…always work your schedule around Him

Sometimes we have faith to move mountains; sometimes we can’t even move dust. Pray anyway. The Almighty is tender hearted toward His children.

People think they are going to Heaven because they don’t deserve Hell. Turn the argument upside down. Ask “What have I done to earn Heaven?”

“Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?” (Max Lucado)

“Perfect people? No. Perfect messes? You bet. Yet God used them. A surprising and welcome discovery of the Bible is this: God uses failures.”
