Where is my focus?

Where is your focus? It’s easy to let past achievements, small distractions, or self-condemnation pull our eyes off what Jesus has already finished. This post looks at the little foxes that can ruin a vineyard in bloom, the power of being faithful in the small things, and how Jesus restored Peter’s focus in John 21. When we agree with who He says we are and keep our eyes on Him, everything else falls into place.

Can the Real Me Please Stand Up?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Who am I, really?” You are a three-part being — spirit, soul, and body. Your body is what you see.

Forgiveness

What is forgiveness, really? And why did Jesus place such emphasis on it? In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter asked Jesus how often he should forgive his brother — up to seven times? Jesus answered, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” That number isn’t a literal scorecard. It’s an impossibility in human strength. Jesus was showing us that forgiveness isn’t about keeping count. It’s not primarily about the other person at all. Forgiveness changes your heart and your life far more than it changes theirs. To me, forgiveness isn’t a single action. It’s a state of mind and the condition of my heart — the place I choose to live from every day.
