“For God is not merely mending, not simply restoring a status quo. Redeemed humanity is to be something more glorious than unfallen humanity would have been, more glorious than any unfallen race now is (if at this moment the night sky conceals any such). The greater the sin, the greater the mercy: the deeper theContinue reading “Thursday Badinage: August 18, 2016”

Joseph-In-Prison Moment
By: Gabriela Yareliz I started 2016 feeling cursed. Yes, I said cursed. I am being candid, here. I write some of this with edgy humor, by the way. Bear with me. From week one, 2016 was a mess… There will be a fun, 2016 recap post at the end of the year. It has beenContinue reading “Joseph-In-Prison Moment”
The Gates of the Forest
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, Elie Wiesel passed away, at the age of 87. Most of us remember his memoirs and the Night Trilogy. That death march in the book Night is one that few forget. I have been fascinated by Wiesel’s writing and thoughts on religion. Being a survivor of the Holocaust hints to theContinue reading “The Gates of the Forest”
Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll try not to make this a rambling post, but I am just spilling out of my glass right now; overwhelmed with so much– good and bad. I feel it has been a while since I came by these parts. Life has been insanely busy. I feel like I barely sleep, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016”

“What He desires, that He does.” “For He will complete what He appoints for me, and many such things are in His mind.” (Job 23:13-14)
Reflections Before Bedtime #86
By: Gabriela Yareliz I hope we can remember, as Job did, that God’s majesty is unsearchable… “By His power He stilled the sea…” (Job 26:12) Job basically says that as long as we have breath in us, the spirit of God is in our nostrils (Job 27:3). 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. All things are in Him andContinue reading “Thursday Badinage: May 12, 2016”
