This is Part 2 of my short story on the topic of revenge. As you read I want to give you a reference for the last line of Part 2. It comes from Jesus’s words in Matthew 6:23. I hope this story encourages you to think deeper about revenge and what it costs us. He…

This poem is a small interruption to this month’s topic of revenge. My grandfather recently passed away, and I wanted to write something as I process his death and where I believe he is now with the Lord. I pray that you will find some comfort in what I have written. And may God strengthen…

When thinking about how revenge can creep up on you sometimes, I thought of resentment. How over time, we allow resentment to build if we don’t surrender them to God and forgive. Part 4 of the story follows Ruth as she begins the journey to facing her estranged father. She realizes that in her own…

This is part 1 of a short story I am writing on the topic of revenge. It is natural for us as humans to seek revenge for wrongs done to us, but that is not how God calls us to handle wrongdoing. He tells us the vengeance is his. (Deut. 32:35) And honestly that is…

I hope this week you will not define yourself by any unintentional failures, but by God’s love for you. When fate meets failure,And shame stains my cheeks bright red,God’s love brings comfort.

I’ve never claimed to be a perfectionist. In fact, when it comes to tasks, I often find there’s a threshold. It determines how much more work and time I’m willing to put in and how well the job is done. However, I hate making mistakes and small accidents. I’m my own worst critic when it…
