The Blog's Title

Welcome to my blog! I've named it Living Stones after the verse from 1 Peter 2:5. I hope you'll find inspiration in what I've got to share here based on my journey with God so far. 

Who am I? 

I've been a Christian from a young age and have always dreamed of writing devotionals to help encourage other believers in their walk with Jesus. When I was thirteen, I encountered Jesus in a very real way after He healed me from a life threatening anaphylactic reaction. I was sitting in the hospital emergency department when I heard God speaking to me and assuring me that I had received eternal life. I was brought up in a Christian family but it is my response to what Jesus has done for me on the cross in taking away my sins that forms the foundation of my faith. I pray that as you read these words which have come out of the times I have spent walking with God, that you will be inspired to seek to know God and to spend time with Him. May you be greatly blessed as you read!

What's your mind dwelling on?

The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words. I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:19‭-‬23 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/lam.3.19-23.NLT This is perhaps the most famous quote in Lamentations 3. We're reminded of God's faithfulness and His love that are new every morning! But there are so many other lessons to be drawn from this beautiful chapter in Scripture, and I've decided to share these lessons in three parts. Today, I'd like for us to focus on verse 21: Yet I still dare hope when I remember this. These words were written during one of the darkest times in the prophet Jeremiah's life. It was a time of unspeakable suffering, where both him and his people had lost everything; their city, families, possessions and most impo...

Stop. Drop. Run!

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. Philippians 3:8‭-‬9 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/php.3.8-9.NLT Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Hebrews 12:1 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/heb.12.1.NLT Stop. Drop. Run! These are three little words but with plenty of significance for us when we consider these few questions: What was your life like before you met Jesus? What happened when you met Jesus? And, la...

Are you a praying person?

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.5.16.NLT One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:1‭, ‬8 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/luk.18.1-8.NLT Then he said, “Now pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground.” So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. But the man of God was angry with him. “You should have struck the ground five or six times!” he exclaimed. “Then you would have beaten Aram until it was entirely destroyed. Now you will be victorious only three times.” 2 Kings 13:18‭-‬19 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/2ki.13.18-19.NLT Today, I'd like to share with you three ex...
