Meditation & Devotionals

I most understand the itch and know how to scratch it. The itch is for belonging, meaning, intimacy, affirmation, hope and a peaceful life. These things can not be scratched by entertainment, or unhealthy relationships.

My breath is not mine to hold on to. It belongs first to God and then to other. I must constantly extend my spirit and give my breath to others until it leaves me for the last time. If I hold it I will lose consciousness and awareness of my surroundings.

When Christians do not pray, worship, serve, nor sacrifice, they can not maintain a relationship with God, assuming that there was one. When we no long put in the work to stay in a committed relationship with God, our Christianity become an opportunistic, self-serving, self gratifying venture.
