Your past. Whatever it might hold, it’s had an effect on you. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing? I don’t know. That’s up to you. There’s something very important that a lot of people don’t realize: Everyone has trauma. Everyone has something that happened; that changed them. And just because yours may…

Faith. Belief. Trust. These things can all be difficult. Believing in something is often easier when you can see it. It’s logical, and there’s proof. Where’s the fun in that? As followers of Christ, our lives aren’t meant to be easy. If your life was perfect and everything always went your way, would you need…

First off, I just wanted to apologize for disappearing for a while there. But, I’m back now, and here I am, writing this. The title describes this devotion perfectly.

Forgiving someone, or yourself, can be one of the hardest things to do. Let’s start off with a question, shall we? What is forgiveness? Some of you may think that forgiveness is a simple apology….

I can’t. It’s too hard. I give up. I’m sure all of us have said these things at one point or another. Giving up is the easy way, and sometimes I suppose it is necessary, like when retreating in battle. But even in that situation, the soldiers don’t just pack up and go home. They…

There are plenty of evil things in our world whether they are obvious or not. Some people choose to block out the bad, leaving them believing that everything is fine when it’s not. We are all probably dealing with things, some different some the same. I think that the most important thing to say in…
