Strength in Obedience

Longtime customer Lisa shares her most recent scarf story:

Obedience is a word that can sometimes have negative connotations in the world. But in The Kingdom of God, our obedience comes not from a place of compulsion or fear; but flows from a place of reverence, love and overwhelming gratitude for what The Lord has done for us. We love Him because He first loved us. So we seek to obey His commandments BECAUSE we love Him and want to both please Him and walk in His ways. Continue reading Strength in Obedience

Plant the Seed

Mark 4:30-32 (NIV) Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”

So often we find ourselves in situations where we can’t see how we could possibly have any impact… Well, I encourage you to keep in mind that our purpose is to just plant the seed! Continue reading Plant the Seed

Follow My Path

A “Mustard Seed” called Follow My Path

Romans 8:28 (VOICE)
We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan.

No treasures this world has to offer could ever compare to what our Heavenly Father has prepared for us when we simply follow His path. It’s so easy to be blinded by material things and money but that’s not what will give us unsurpassed joy and peace. It will only offer temporary pleasure but the deep emptiness still remains.

Truth is that only our Abba can fulfill that deep aching desire for true fulfillment! Regardless of your circumstances you can’t help but be joyful when He is your driving force. When we simply follow His path, His plan for us will supersede our plans. Trust that His plan for you is greater than what this world is wanting to seduce you with…

Let Me clear the Path

A “Mustard Seed” called Let Me clear the Path

1 Kings 19:11-13 (VOICE) Eternal One:  Leave this cave, and go stand on the mountainside in My presence. The Eternal passed by him. The mighty wind separated the mountains and crumbled every stone before the Eternal. This was not a divine wind, for the Eternal was not within this wind. After the wind passed through, an earthquake shook the earth. This was not a divine quake, for the Eternal was not within this earthquake.  After the earthquake was over, there was a fire. This was not a divine fire, for the Eternal was not within this fire.
After the fire died out, there was nothing but the sound of a calm breeze. And through this breeze a gentle, quiet voice entered into Elijah’s ears. He covered his face with his cloak and went to the mouth of the cave. Suddenly, Elijah was surprised. Eternal One: Why are you here, Elijah? What is it that you desire?
