Have you ever faced rejection? Everyone does at some time. Did you feel you were rejected by everyone? Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that you were rejected by those whose attention you desired? Have you noticed that you are attracted to those above you, and attractive to those below you? So rejection is seldom universal, but you feel it most strongly from a select group. Rejection is painful, but part of the problem may be that you are being too selective. I said that when you showed kindness unto the least of these you had done it unto me. This works for friendship too.

This engaging novel includes a presentation of the four keys to hearing God’s voice, offered to the main character by a stranger on a bus. Jeff discovers God’s email address and the amazing words he receives from God bring inner healing, personal growth and direction. This book is written by Tim Koop, who learned two-way journaling by watching a TV interview with Mark Virkler.

Have you ever been at a loss for words? Some people never seem to be, although their many words can be more tiresome than profound. Some experiences do not lend themselves to easy explanations. Paul entered the third heaven and couldn’t say whether he was in his body or not. He saw things that were not lawful to utter. Do you assume that this was like having a security clearance for top secret information he was not permitted to reveal? Could it be that it was such a transcendent experience that to try to explain it would devalue it? That words would not do it justice?

My word commends those who are overcomers. This term implies pushing against resistance. It is easy to drift with the current, and difficult to swim upstream, yet without exertion you only go downhill. Are there any areas in your life that are not working for you? If they have become established then you refer to them as habits, and they are difficult to break. But do not think that they are your true identity. You have my promise that if you seek you will find. You could apply this even to overcoming entrenched patterns in your own life. Press on and I will enable you to overcome.
