Thursday Badinage: May 19, 2016

I am stuck in a long line that is not moving. So painful. So, I thought I would catch up on some reading materials.

May we hold fast to wisdom and holdContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #86”

A Love That Seeks

By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was reading about how God loves and pursues us. The way He romances our souls and goes after us. “Marriage stands for the creation of unity among two people who were once separated in every way before love reached out and found the other– the way God reached outContinue reading “A Love That Seeks”

Thursday Badinage: May 12, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz God promises, “I will heal your faithlessness.” Jeremiah 3:22 I pray God heals my unbelief and gives me more of the gift of faith. “Behold, we come to You, for You are the Lord our God.” Jeremiah 3:22 His is the honor, the glory, the power.

End

By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep being reminded that if I believe and have faith, I need to stop acting and behaving like this is the end or certain things are final. This is not it. The picture is bigger than this. In fact, I am just getting started. I am going to take back whatContinue reading “End”

Reflections Before Bedtime #84

By: Gabriela Yareliz Excerpt from a letter to my mother earlier in the day: I was on the train, and I brought my Bible. I opened it and began reading in the book of Jeremiah.

Monday Inspiration: April 18, 2016
