A Crowned Thorn

What is the value of a thorn in our Christian journey? First, we must identify what a thorn is. According to the Dictionary one definition describes a thorn as “a source of continual annoyance or trouble”. A thorn can cause an immediate pain from its puncture or it can cause constant irritation and distress. Thorns that appear as a source of trouble are usually not welcomed companions on our daily quest. But the thorns we encounter are useful despite their irritations and disruptions. Thorns come to challenge and to strengthen your faith, your character, and your witness as a child of God. Thorns are the mechanism from which you gain more than you lose. Thorns are the pathway to reaching higher heights and deeper depths of sanctification and glory. With each thorn that attaches itself to your life, you become more and more like Christ. You become an overcomer of the thing that came to irritate or to disrupt your growth, but it, in turn, propels you into greater achievement in holy livi...

Guided Devotional: It's In Your Heart For A Reason






Featured Post

There is no denying that we all have been chosen and called to do a unique work for the kingdom that only we are equipped and trained to do. We have also been divinely crafted by the master craftsman with innate sensibilities, passions, and interests.

Living this life is not all about the service we render unto God but in how we live this life He has granted us. He is a glorious God and wants us to live full and enriched lives while we are here. We are mission filled people but we have also been given dreams, hopes, and desires that need to see the light of day in our hearts, in our vision, and in our actions.  

It's imperative that we don't kill the promises that are in our hearts to pursue. God has sweetly left holes in our spirits that are not about us serving but being served by Him. There are things in your heart God wants you to pursue and to receive for it will be His greatest delight to see you hold it, walk in it, operate it, obtain it whatever the it is in your heart.  

So what are the dreams, hopes, desires, relationships, experiences you long for?  How are you actively working towards them in faith and communion with God?  How do you feel when you think on these things? Do you become like a giddy school child or do you try to swallow the dream because its too big or you don’t feel worthy of such a desire? 

God wants to see us happy and He wants to show us that He placed treasure boxes of experiences and desires in our hearts that He wants us to seek and find with Him! He put these things in our heart so that along the journey we reap nuggets of joy and fulfillment. He desires for us to capture and fulfill every interest and every desire whether large or small.  

We must remember on this walk of life that we are to live full and to experience all through and with God.  If its in your heart to do and to experience go for it!! Take the limits off of you and God for God wants to see you have it and wants to work with you as you press your way towards it.  

Value the hopes and dreams God has placed in your heart for He placed them there for a reason and that reason is love. So go in love and do big things for the God of creation seeks to see you blessed and fulfilled!
