Gratitude Makes a Significant Difference

What if I asked if you consider yourself to be a grateful person? I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that you often breathe a sigh of contentment and thank God for the obvious blessings in your life. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that saying thank you comes naturally to you.  But then again, perhaps that is more of a “gratitude-on-autopilot” situation? Here are a few questions that take it a step further and determine if you consider yourself intentional about gratitude. Do you wake up and count your blessings? Does gratitude set the tone for how you respond to people throughout ..read more

So, God Loves Me – Now What?
Gwen Thielges
by gthielges
1M ago
We are loved. What a blessing to know that when we say God loves us, we aren’t talking about a conditional, temporary love that the world embraces. We are talking about a matchless love, a love that is selfless, sacrificial, and supreme. A love beyond our comprehension. And that love for us? God has firmly fixed it at maximum capacity; nothing we do will change that. God isn’t waiting for us to chair more committees, achieve better grades, or drop 5 pounds so that He’ll love us more. And our failures and faults do not make Him love us less.  God isn’t waiting for us to chair more committ ..read more

3 Ways to Change Our Prayers from Demanding to Devoted
Gwen Thielges
by gthielges
2M ago
Would you categorize your prayers as demanding prayers or devoted prayers? Have you thought about how your prayers might sound to our Heavenly Father? Demanding Prayers Looking back, I can recall seasons when one could definitely describe my prayers as demanding prayers. I remember a specific time when I was feeling lonely, weary, and weak…(cue the pity party music) and I was in desperation mode. I then told God that He needed to help me sense His presence. There wasn’t any asking involved…it was pretty much me insisting He get on board with what I wanted. And right now. Three Thoughts That p ..read more

My Soul is Downcast Within Me. Now What?

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year, With the kids jingle belling, and everyone telling you be of good cheer. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” written by Eddie Pola and George Wyle If it sometimes seems that the “most wonderful time of the year” doesn’t feel so wonderful, I want to say that I can relate. I’ve been there too.  We may look around at our blessings and see numerous people and things for which to be thankful, yet we do not find ourselves feeling festive. (And when our feelings fail to align with what our mind knows, it can make us feel worse.) Recently, I was s ..read more

His Eye Is on the Sparrow God does not reject or forget us. Ever. There may be seasons when we FEEL like He is silent or distant, but our feelings are not to be trusted over the facts about God’s character! He never forgets about us or takes a break from caring about every single detail of our lives! He is near us and loves us so much that He is constantly working in our lives, teaching us to become more and more like Christ. What an amazing God.

A Few Thoughts From Ladies Bible Study
Gwen Thielges
by gthielges
7M ago
For the last few months, I have had the privilege of leading a Ladies’ Bible Study at my church. When the former leader asked me to consider taking her place because she would be moving out of state, I prayed and soon believed God gave me the green light to say yes. Confidence in my Bible-Study-leading skills did not accompany that belief; however, God reminded me that He never puts a task in front of us without promising to give us the ability to fulfill it as He walks right beside us. As I gain experience facilitating our weekly Bible Study, I also gain knowledge and insight from the dear la ..read more

Your Good is So Good – Romans 8:28

I’m so excited to share the song I wrote recently! “Your Good is So Good” is based on Romans 8:28. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭ESV‬‬ I’ve always loved and believed this Romans 8:28! But there have been times I’ve wondered why certain situations turned out the way they did and thought, “God, You promised all things would work together for good, and this doesn’t seem good.” But I am learning that we can always, without question, trust His definition of good.
