The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?

Their comfort was cut off, and suddenly they could feel again. Sometimes losing the thing that numbed you is the kindest wound God gives. What would you grieve if it were taken this week?

So take what I have, small as it seems, and let it hold something up in your house. I'd rather be a socket in the ground than nothing at all.

God said this to people who were desperate to go home. A garden takes years to give fruit. You cannot plant one with your bags by the door. Is there a season you keep refusing to unpack in, waiting for the real life to start?
In all things show yourself an example of good works." Paul doesn't tell Titus to say the right things first.…In all things show yourself an example of good works." Paul doesn't tell Titus to say the right things first. He tells him to be something worth copying. Someone is watching how you handle traffic, disappointment, a slow checkout line. Your sermon is already being preached, long before you open your mouth.

I've let suspicion talk louder than grace, and it has cost me friendships. Teach me to receive comfort as comfort, and to trust before I accuse.
