The theme that kept leaping out at me today was "gentleness". In my reflection of Luke 7:36-50, Jesus' own gentleness was on full display as he used a parable to help Simon the Pharisee better understand why the woman's behaviour (who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears) was nothing to be judged over - … Continue reading be gentle →

He is many things, yet in all of them He is love. Each of the above "roles" are just different expressions of … Continue reading is this service or distraction? →
