And again I say rejoice! It’s easy to rejoice in Him when things are going well, isn’t it? But what about when our world is crashing down around us. What then? Is expecting us to rejoice in all things even possible? Is it unreasonable or unfair? On the contrary! It’s a gift with extraordinary benefits. When we…

Think On These Things
Written on May 15, 2011 by joymcmillan
The doors to our minds are like the doors to our homes. Once we let that vacuum salesman in, it’s considerably hard to get him out without first enduring the display. When we welcome a thought into our minds by entertaining it we become a captive audience to all it brings. Scripture advises us not…

Written on May 1, 2011 by joymcmillan
Despite my love-hate relationship with the Proverbs 31 Woman (not really), I adore the book of Proverbs! It is chock-a-block full of nuggets to chew on, wisdom to live by, and truth to check yourself with. It’s no wonder there are 31 chapters in the book. God knew it was one that we would need to…

Written on March 13, 2011 by joymcmillan
I love fresh beginnings. (This could explain my unusual love for Mondays.) I also happen to be quite partial to March. It means spring is just around the corner.

You Give Life
Written on February 13, 2011 by joymcmillan
God has a crush on you. Did you know that? It’s the wildest, most outrageously sacrificial love you could ever imagine. He woos you. He sings over you. He writes you love letters in the sky in colors so stunning that artists stop and stare. There is no question that He adores you from the top of…
