Well, it's the same in a relationship with the Lord Jesus. When it's just the two of you, maybe like it is right now, you can see Him as you've never seen Him before. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/storm-surge-6778 2013-01-03T11:24:04-05:00 Battered and confused, we finally open our soul to the love that we've been looking for all our lives. And we find in Jesus what the Bible calls "an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19). The howling winds leave us, not lost, but found and finally at peace. In the arms of the One who speaks "Peace, be still!" to the storm in your soul. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/a-battlefield-christmas-6771 2012-12-27T15:40:24-05:00 Sin is the "all about me" choices that we've all made. Who hasn't? And it's because ultimately, we've hijacked our lives from the God who gave us our life. Where does that take us: Broken relationships, broken promises, broken dreams, broken marriages, broken hearts. And Jesus won when He came and paid our death penalty on that cross. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/you-need-a-love-triangle-6722 2012-10-16T11:05:50-05:00 Before you get married, wait for someone who is joined to Jesus as you are, because it is worth the wait. And after you marry, practice His presence daily in your home. A love triangle with Jesus as that real third person is the strongest bond on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/better-when-heated-6720 2012-10-12T09:38:38-05:00 The breaking of the man is the making of the man. It's not because God doesn't love you, it's because He does. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-one-step-we-miss-6706 2012-09-24T10:08:05-05:00 Repentance is so often the missing page in our Gospel. In God's Word it says you have to have Godly sorrow that leads to repentance that leads to salvation. Sometimes we skip over sin lightly in our rush to get people to Jesus. It's like going right to the cure before a person has even faced their disease. There's no real conversion until you repent. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/a-paper-bridge-6654 2012-07-18T11:21:07-05:00 Give God a chance to take that relationship and mend it again, using that letter as a beginning, because that relationship's going to be a part of you wherever you go. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/turning-hopeless-to-hope-6610 2012-05-15T10:25:28-05:00 It's Jesus and Jesus alone who can make the worst things that ever happened to you a door to hope for a lot of other broken people. I know. I've seen it with my own eyes. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/spiritual-body-guards-6564 2012-03-09T13:45:26-05:00 Christ's body has been broken enough. He said, "This is My body which was broken for you." Don't allow it to be broken any more by a Christian attacking another Christian. Don't throw any punches at someone that Jesus loves very much. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-captain-and-the-crash-6561 2012-03-06T13:23:40-05:00 Jesus didn't risk His life to save me; He gave it, and He did it for you too. The day you surrender the wheel to Captain Jesus, is the day you'll start heading the direction you were made for. And the people who sail with you - all the people you love - will finally be safe.
