He’s Talking to You


Your eye may be the window of your soul, but the Bible is the mirror.

November’s Awakening, Day 4

There is nothing that I believe will create the change we want to see in the world more than if God's people will read God's Word and be transformed by the power contained within it.

 Brian Hardin, “Passages”

Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.

 —Mark Twain 

An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.

 —A. W. Tozer



            I believe that we understand Scripture more than we are willing to admit, simply because it becomes difficult sometimes to see our flaws in the mirror. More so, it is even harder to be willing to admit the need for change and to wholeheartedly commit to implementing it. Complacency is our fallen human nature. Granted, we cannot change the genetics we’ve been given, nor can we change our past, but we can diligently understand ourselves better and work concertedly to continually strive to improve. There is no condemnation in Christ, but there is an expectation to purposefully follow Him and become like Him. With continuous effort, the flaws will become fewer, and the wonder of your beauty more apparent.
