God is the Source of love for who we are; it is out of who we are that we live and love well.

Ideas for connecting with Jesus throughout your day

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Connect Throughout the Day, Reading Scripture, THE SOURCE OF LOVE2 Comments

Last week, in Pause the Static and the Noise, I shared a funny parenting story, with the encouragement that we need to be still and quiet with God so we can hear His voice.  This week, I want to follow up and brainstorm together how we can practically open ourselves to hear His voice throughout our days.

Life is full of changes in seasons.  Creating space and time to connect with Jesus can be more challenging in some seasons than others.  And when we experience change, it often upsets the rhythms and habits that we have grown accustomed to!IMG_20170823_062252344 Continue reading “Ideas for connecting with Jesus throughout your day” →

Pause the Static and Noise

Imagine this little experience with me a moment…

I went to the top of the stairs yesterday and called out, “Ellie, do you remember what you needed to do this morning?”

“What?” came the reply.

I repeated the instructions.  Pause.  There was this staticky radio noise coming from her room, which I recognized as coming from her Our Generation mini doll car.  IMG_20170820_093223696 Continue reading “Pause the Static and Noise” →

Three ideas for reading the Bible relationally

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Reading Scripture, THE SOURCE OF LOVELeave a comment

Last week, I wrote about Reading Scripture Relationally.  God has given us the Bible so we might connect with Him in authentic relationship!  As we read scripture relationally, we know God for who He is and open ourselves up to be known by Him.  This creates space in our lives where we can bring our real selves to meet with God where real growth, healing, and change can take place.

How can we read the Bible relationally?

Reading Scripture Relationally

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Reading Scripture, THE SOURCE OF LOVELeave a comment

A friend asked me recently, “how do you read Scripture…?”  The first thing that came to mind is that I read it relationally and for the heart.  In relationship, we come to know another and be known.  

God desires relationship with us (take a peek at my previous post, Love is Relational, for more on this).  And as we grow in relationship with God, knowing Him and His love for us, we naturally grow in loving and relating with people.

Love is Relational

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Gospel, LIVE & LOVE, Love is..., Relationships, THE SOURCE OF LOVE2 Comments

Love is relational, in its very nature.  In relationship we know and are known.  As we get to know someone, we want to know who they are are and let them know us.  Love is expressed in the context of relationship.  Relational love includes things like noticing people, listening, asking questions, sharing of your heart and selves, and responding.
