The Bible is the story of two gardens. Eden and Gethsemane. In the first, Adam took a fall. In the second, Jesus took a stand.

Christmas begins what Easter celebrates. The child in the cradle became the king on the cross. And because he did, there are no marks on my record. Just grace. His offer has no fine print. He didn't tell me, "Clean up before you come in." He offered, "Come in, and I'll clean you up." It's not my grip on him that matters but his grip on me. And his grip is sure. So is his presence in my life.

Easter, Kings, Children

God must've had a blast. painting the stripes on the zebra, hanging the stars in the sky, putting the gold in the sunset. What creativity! Stretching the neck of the giraffe, putting the flutter in the mockingbird's wings, planting the giggle in the hyena. And then, as a finale to a brilliant performance, He made a human who had the unique honour to bear the stamp, In His Image.

Stars, Zebras, Sunset

Prayer pushes us through life's slumps, propels us over the humps and pulls us out of the dumps. Prayer is the oomph we need to get the answers we seek.

God sees us with the eyes of a Father. He sees our defects, errors and blemishes. But He also sees our value.

Father, Eye, Errors

The next time you are called to suffer, pay attention. It may be the closest you'll ever get to God.

Suffering, Attention, May

Max Lucado (2011). “No Wonder They Call Him the Savior -: Discover Hope in the Unlikeliest Place?Upon the Cross”, p.107, Thomas Nelson Inc

When he says we’re forgiven, let’s unload the guilt. When he says we’re valuable, let’s believe him. . . . When he says we’re provided for, let’s stop worrying. God’s efforts are strongest when our efforts are useless

Faith, Forgiveness, God

No one can do everything, but everyone can do something

Volunteer, Donation, Torture

Max Lucado, Jenna Lucado Bishop (2010). “You Were Made to Make a Difference”, p.109, Thomas Nelson Inc

God's love has a width, length, height, and depth, but we will never reach the end of it. Our capacity to experience God's love will be exhausted long before God's capacity to give it is strained. The picture of having Christ dwell inside us by faith presents us with compelling and comforting possibilities. What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'

Thinking, Long, Giving

Max Lucado (2007). “Book of Ephesians: Where You Belong”, p.59, Harper Collins

If the purpose of life is just to live this life and then die, it's hard to answer the purpose of pain question; but if we can help people see from an eternal perspective - that all of this is working together to prepare us for something higher than we've ever imagined, more noble than we've ever dreamed - then we discover some hope that we can hold on to.

Pain, Perspective, People

We see a hearse; we think sorrow. We see a grave; we think despair. We hear of a death; we think of a loss. Not so in heaven. When heaven sees a breathless body, it sees the vacated cocoon & the liberated butterfly.

Butterfly, Loss, Thinking

He promises a lamp unto our feet, not a crystal ball into the future.

Feet, Promise, Lamps

Max Lucado (2009). “Traveling Light: Premier Library Edition”, p.48, Thomas Nelson Inc

God's love never ceases. Never. Though we spurn him. Ignore him. Reject him. Despise him. Disobey him. He will not change. Our evil cannot diminish his love. Our goodness cannot increase it. Our faith does not earn it any more than our stupidity jeopardizes it. God doesn't love us less if we fail or more if we succeed. God's love never ceases.

Evil, Stupidity, Succeed

Max Lucado (2003). “Just Like Jesus Devotional: A Thirty-Day Walk with the Savior”, p.5, Thomas Nelson Inc

Yesterday you can't alter, but your reaction to yesterday you can. The past you cannot change, but your response to your past you can.

Past, Yesterday, Reactions

God is able to place stars in their sockets & suspend sky like a curtain; surely He is mighty enough to light your path.

‎Mark it down: God loves you with an unearthly love. You can't win it by being winsome. You can't lose it by being a loser. But you can be blind enough to resist it

Love You, Winning, Loser

Max Lucado (2009). “3:16: The Numbers of Hope”, p.32, Thomas Nelson Inc

When we look at the love of Christ, we make a wonderful discovery. Love is more a decision than an emotion! Christ-like love applauds good behavior. At the same time Christ-like love refuses to endorse misbehavior. Jesus loved His apostles, but He wasn't silent when they were faithless. Jesus loved the people in the temple, but He didn't sit still when they were hypocritical.

Jesus, Love Is, Discovery

God's love never ceases. Never... God doesn't love us less if we fail or more if we succeed. God's love never ceases.

God, Christian, Religious

Max Lucado (2012). “Just Like Jesus Devotional: A Thirty-Day Walk With the Savior”, p.2, Thomas Nelson Inc

What causes us to think of prayer as the last option rather than the first? I can think of two reasons: feelings of independence and feelings of insignificance.

Prayer, Thinking, Two

Max Lucado (2009). “A Gentle Thunder: Hearing God Through the Storm”, p.121, Thomas Nelson Inc

Our moods may shift, but God's doesn't. Our minds may change, but God's doesn't. Our devotion may falter, but God's never does. Even if we are faithless, He is faithful, for He cannot betray himself. He is a sure God.

Spiritual, Faithful, Mind

Max Lucado (2013). “Traveling Light Deluxe Edition: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to Bear”, p.187, Thomas Nelson Inc

God rewards those who seek Him. Not those who seek doctrine of religion or systems or creeds. Many settle for these lesser passions, but the reward goes to those who settle for nothing less than Jesus himself. And what is the reward? What awaits those who seek Jesus? Nothing short of the heart of Jesus.

Jesus, Passion, Heart

Max Lucado (1998). “The Christmas Cross”, p.25, Thomas Nelson Inc

God would rather give up His son..than give up on us

Giving Up, Son, Giving

Max Lucado (2012). “Grace for the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids”, p.113, Thomas Nelson Inc

Do you understand what God has done? He has deposited a Christ seed in you. As it grows you will change. It's not that sin has no more presence in your life, but rather that sin has no more power over your life.

Over You, Done, Sin

Max Lucado (2007). “Lucado 3-in-1: Traveling Light, Next Door Savior, Come Thirsty”, p.529, Thomas Nelson Inc

Though the Bible was written over sixteen centuries by at least forty authors, it has one central theme-salvation through faith in Christ.

Inspirational, Sixteen, Christ
