Anne Steele knew grief well: “She lost her mother at age 3, a potential suitor at age 20, her stepmother at 43, and her sister-in-law at 45. She spent many years caring for her father until his death in 1769. For many ...
A Place to Belong
Deep down we all long to be accepted and pursued. We yearn for a place to belong. This longing is also accompanied by a deep sense of rejection when we feel as if we don’t fit in or seem to be forgotten by others—when you don’t get called back after the interview, when someone else gets the promotion, when you don’t make the team, when everyone around you seems to be bringing home their babies and your arms feel heavy with emptiness.
But dear sister, please hear this: as your friends are posting pictures of beautifully decorated nurseries while yours remains ...

Our Glorious Adoption
One of the most precious themes in Scripture is that of the sonship of believers in Christ. This profound truth is filled with such hope and freedom and joy. In Christ, you have been adopted into the very family of God! The term adoption carries with it a strong sense of compassion, love, and permanency. To be adopted means to be given a secure and lasting place in a family in which you did not formerly belong.
We must savor this remarkable aspect of our salvation. We were once “by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being ...

The Proof Of God’s Love
We are all sinful beings. In fact all of creation—every drop of rain, every blade of grass, every fish in the sea—is groaning under the weight of sin. Our sin separates us from the presence of our Holy God, and there is nothing that we can do to remedy this on our own. We can never measure up to the insurmountable holiness of God. If we were to gather all of the “goodness” in our lives, the sum of everything good and right that we have ever done or will ever do, and place it before the Lord, it would be to Him like a filthy rag (Isaiah 64:6). Left un-cured, our ...
