Our Threads of Grace

Trusting God’s Faithfulness When the Path Ahead Is Unclear        There’re seasons in life when the path ahead seems hidden from view. We ask where God’s Promises are? We pray for direction, but answers don’t come. We ask God for clarity, but instead we find ourselves standing in uncertainty. It can feel as though everyone else knows where they are going while we remain stuck at a…

Looking beyond a person’s worst mistakes to discover the grace of the Savior who’s never given up on broken people.    There are some people in this world that society looks at and silently decides are too far gone. Too broken, too dirty, addicted., reckless, too sinful, and too damaged to save. Most people would never say those words out loud, but sometimes you can see it in the way they avoid…

“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.” — Psalm 27:10 (KJV)  When You Feel Forgotten by Everyone There’re seasons of life that hurt in ways words can barely describe. Not because of a dramatic tragedy or a public loss, but because of a quieter pain—the ache of feeling forgotten. Perhaps the phone stopped ringing after your divorce. Maybe friends slowly drifted…

When your past feels heavier than your future, discover the hope of a God who restores instead of condemns after our failures.  “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” — Joel 2:25    There’re few burdens heavier than regret, especially over a failure. Not the regret of things done to us, but the regret of things we have done ourselves. The words we wish we could take…

Waiting is not wasted when God is in it. Even in the silence, He is still working, still present, and still faithful. “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles…” — Isaiah 40:31  There’s something uniquely difficult about seasons where nothing seems to be changing. That’s when trusting God can be a challenge. Not because life has…

Joy isn’t found only at the end of the journey. Sometimes God’s sweetest blessings are hidden in the ordinary moments we are tempted to rush past. “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24   There’s a quiet trap that many of us fall into without ever realizing it. We become so focused on where we hope to be that we forget to notice where God…

Never underestimate what God can do through one simple act of obedience. The smallest step taken in faith today, may become the turning point that changes your tomorrow. “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel…” —Zechariah 4:10 There’re moments in life when we become so focused on how far we’ve yet to go, that we…

What feels like the end of your story may be the very place God restarts your story. He’s still the God of new beginnings. “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” — Isaiah 43:19         There’re moments in life that feel like endings even when nothing has technically stopped. The prayers…
