A lesson from the labourers in the vineyard

The entitlement trap

A lesson from Onesimus on forgiveness and restoration

That heinous one

Taking care over each and every stitch

Knitting

Even while still being sanctified

Already perfected

Well beyond the eleventh hour

After midnight

And yet able to love

Alone

On the heavenly treasure map

Love marks the spot

With moneybags that do not grow old

How to be rich

By our Heavenly Father who knows our need

On being looked after

O my Soul is words of encouragement for anyone who has chosen to surrender their life to Jesus⸺for anyone on that long journey of dying to self and living wholly for the Lord, loving him and loving those he brings onto our path. In some ways these words are merely a continuation of <a href="https://letterstoamy.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Letters to Amy</a>, my gift of love and encouragement to that faithful servant of the Lord, written while she was living in a jungle village in Papua New Guinea, and which concluded when she returned to New Zealand.&nbsp;I found such grace and blessing for my own heart from the Lord even as I wrote that I find I have to continue here. There is such joy in this surrendered life but it can be hard and it can be lonely.&nbsp;So here is encouragement to persevere and to walk worthy.&nbsp;May the Lord bless each one who comes this way. Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” — Matthew 16:24-25. All Scripture references are quoted from the ESV unless otherwise indicated.
