Deputy Matthew Brakeman spotted a speeding car going down the highway. Once he pulled over the vehicle, he noticed the driver was very upset. After speaking with her, he soon discovered that her mother had been battling cancer and they were on the way to the oncologist. So instead of writing her a ticket, he started to pray. This officer is truly amazing.
Money, fame, power, and glory (with all their destructive associations) are just a few of the things that I see other people chasing after—and if the truth be known that I’ve chased after myself. Chasing after those four things seems a bit—well—worldly, doesn’t it. But what if I told you that God knows you need those things, even if you aren’t supposed to chase after them? Sound crazy? Or at least confusing? But it's only confusing because we don't understand how something given to us through God is so very different than the exact same thing taken by us through our own devices. Money, fame, power, and glory can be sought after and obtained through human effort; people do it all the time—and most of the time to their own detriment. But money, fame, power, and glory can also be given to us by God. When all these things are given to us through God, they come to us as a blessing. But when we chase after all these things apart from our relationship with God, they come to us as a curse.

God does not want to share you (or me) with all the things of this world that we chase after. Yes, He promises to give us whatever we need in this life to prosper both us and the work He has for us. But when we begin to use HIm to chase after these things (most of which He already said He would give us), something strange happens. What might normally be just another healthy need becomes an unhealthy lust. It's not that we're necessarily asking for the wrong things, it's that we're asking with the wrong motives. And when we ask with wrong motives, then what we are seeking becomes like an idol to us—even though there may be nothing wrong with what we are seeking apart from our motives. When God is our source for “all these things” and all these things flow naturally out of our relationship with Him, those needs remains healthy needs. But the minute we try to outsource any one of those needs or try to manipulate God to get them, something destructive is triggered within us. And what would normally be a good thing flowing out of a desire for God, becomes a bad thing sought as a priority over God. givemethatmountain.org/article/faith-and-unbelief-day-forty-four/
Annual nonprofit event for "Differently-abled" girls/guys, that provides them spotlight moments. Created in memory & honor of PJ who had Down syndrome.
I regret my selfishness back when I first became a Christian. But I was extremely self‐centered back then—and, sadly, for many years following. I had no clue as to how much it would have pleased God to put a priority on our relationship. But I was more interested in what He could do for me than I was in Him. If you can ever get a revelation of just how much you have valued your relationship with God for what He can do for you, rather than for who He is … well … it will break your heart. And strangely—but also gloriously—after your heart is broken He will begin to reveal Himself to you in a way that will make “the things of earth grow strangely dim,” as Helen Lemuel said in her hymn, “Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus.” Do you want to know why you (and me) seem to be compelled to dig and scratch and claw to get what you want (and often at the expense of those around you)? Did you ever consider the possibility that God is jealous for your love? “What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don't they come from the cravings that are at war within you? You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war.” (James 4:1–2a HCSB) Does this not explain just about every evil in the world today? What is the source of all the wars among people—whether between people in the same household or people in different nations? We fight because we want what we think we can get only by taking from somebody else. We demand that our spouses give us respect, or love, or

The brothers actually had a 17-month-old baby brother, Elijah, that was in foster care as well. Unable to adopt 4 children, Julia's neighbor felt called to adopt Elijah herself.
