Dear Friend, Why should I forgive? Well, the most straightforward answer is simply that Jesus said that we must forgive. “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14-15, NLT) “Make…
Friend, This indeed is a difficult question. We see things from our human point of view, and ultimately, His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts [Isaiah 55:8-9]. Because of this, I don’t think we can ever fully understand. I have said it before, but, this walk…
“Can I give you a makeover?” my daughter asked. “Uhhh…” was all I could say at that moment. I was really busy and we had places to go soon. And my daughter is only 4-years-old, so you can imagine that her makeover of me would be – well, ummm – dramatic. …

As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
