Hiding from Dad
There have been a number of times lately when my son has done something that he knows he is not allowed to do. Almost immediately, as he realises that he is likely to get in trouble, he covers his eyes with his hands and remains still and silent. My wife and I both felt like…
My Father’s Heart
The other day I was greatly impacted by some experiences with my son. He was in the middle of doing something that I did not want him to do and yet I experienced an overwhelming love for my son. All of a sudden a cascade of revelation and scriptures falling into place occurred. Firstly I…
Closer than I think.
I have always loved the verses in 1 John 4 talking about love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9, NIV) Whenever I have read this verse or heard it preached, I have always…
The Renewing of the Mind
In enjoy discussions with people in regards to the heart, I often come to the point of sharing that the Christian life is all about living from the heart and if we don’t have something in our heart then we don’t have it. There are many scriptures where Jesus shares this. Out of the heart…
Revival of the heart
Lately I’ve been listening to a number of teachings speaking about revival. It occurred to me that the understood definition of revival was a place that was having an outpouring of the spirit where signs and wonders were occurring and this place was usually church building and /or gathering of people. When we look at…
Father’s Delight
Lately I’ve had a lot of Father’s love moments in my interactions with Thomas. Just the other day Thomas was holding a small flashlight. He announces “I’m going to turn it on, daddy turn it on for me”. There wasn’t a moment of hesitation between “I’m going to” and “daddy do it”. As I turned…
Jesus’ Faith
This evening while communing with the Word, I realised something about faith. I have always been told that faith by definition is to act upon something without first seeing the evidence. In reality I guess I have always felt like faith was acting on something I intellectually agreed with but had not yet experienced. But…
A heart to give
Yesterday my son was playing with his Mega Blocks and said “I’m going to make you a robot”. He then proceeded to put together a number of blocks forming a simple rectangle two wide and five high. When he handed it to me, I couldn’t have been more proud. No one else would have been…
Blind to Revelation
Yesterday at work I was trying to figure out how to test something. I set things up to the point where I needed to force an error to occur so that I could ensure our system handled the situation properly. It was a part of the system that I wasn’t as familiar with and I…
A Father’s Desire
My son currently is in a phase of usually saying 2 word sentences. For example Green straw, is said like “Green draw” because he can’t pronounce ‘s’ yet. My wife and I have been so proud of any increase in the number of words like “I need more cars” Last night I had just finished…
