Lest You Forget

Lest You Forget

Ezekiel 16 is such an intricate piece of writing which contains so much meaning. When you meditate on it, it stirs the heart to feel a small bit of what God feels when His people are unfaithful to Him.   Ezekiel 16:3-5 Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of…

Hard Questions

January 21, 2021 Vani De Freitas Comments 9 comments

Sometimes we ask hard questions about what God is doing. We ask why suffering happens, why do children die, why was there so much violence and slaughter at the hand of God’s people in the old testament. I have come to realize that we may never completely understand this infinite God as we are…

Trading Minor Sorrows for Infinite Joy

December 10, 2020 Vani De Freitas Comments 6 comments

I got this phrase from someone who was speaking with God and asking that we be able to trade our minor sorrows for the Lord’s infinite joy. I loved it so much because it reminded me of how much this life is just a small part of the journey that we have to endure,…
