- The Father's Heart Through A Mother's Eyes
There are all different kinds of mothers: Spiritual, Biological, Adopted. God compares His love towards us to that of a Mother towards her child. Isa 49:15, "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?" Through a Mother's Eyes", I catch glimpses of the heart of the Father. His Compassion, like a mother, God has COMPASSION toward us (His children) through every stage of life. His desire to meet His children right where they are.
- Unto The Least Of These

What is our cross? LOVE. Love God. Love others. Which means dying to self, giving up your own rights: The cross, where our will crosses God's will. Being a Believer does NOT mean that we are part of a "Bless Me" Club, but rather a part of God's LOVE. True LOVE always involves personal sacrifice. Love is a willingness to die.
