Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - One More Hill - #3829
You know, a lot of people live their whole lives that same way--thinking that what they're looking for is just over that next hill. The love, the peace, the fulfillment I'm looking for - it'll be in that next relationship...that next accomplishment...that next experience. But so far we've left behind us a trail of hills that were supposed to fill the hole in our heart and didn't. Some people trudge on all the way to that final hill called death - still looking, still not finding. Maybe for you, life has been a lot of climbing hills to nowhere...to disappointment and emptiness and loneliness.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Fractured But Growing - #3830
Tragically, a lot of people do. Their growth stops with the trauma. And there's no denying the damage done when you get hit by a major life-trauma. A divorce, losing your job, losing someone you love, losing your health, a major injury, a depressing setback, a breakup, abuse, dealing with pain from your past. Things like these are major blows, and the hurt is deep and long-lasting. There is very real fracture. The question is: Will you stop growing now?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Shoulder to Cry On - #5334
One reason we don't move in next to someone who's hurting is because sometimes we don't know what to say. That really doesn't matter. Your job is to let them talk, to let them cry, to listen in a way that you can identify what that person needs right now, and then to see if you or someone you know can help with some of those needs.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Power of Recycled Garbage - #3982
It's amazing what human engineers can do with the garbage of a city. It's much more amazing what God can do with garbage of our lives. He recycles the worst things that ever happened to us into something wonderfully useful - and even beautiful.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Original Love - #5411
Cathy's original love is expectant. She looks forward to each new day of being with, and talking with, and going places with the man she loves. That's how a Jesus-lover looks at his or her day - being with Him, talking with him in the many different experiences of this day.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Love that Will Not Let You Go - #5470
I had loved someone enough to pursue her with everything I had. There's someone who loves you like that. Whether or not you know it, He's been pursuing you for years, determined to give you every chance to begin a personal relationship with Him. And while you've been giving yourself to other pursuits, He's been relentlessly pursuing you. But one day your time to experience His love will run out. So He's pursuing you one more time today.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Hollow On the Inside - #5551
Jesus says there are people that look great on the outside, religious on the outside, but they have big problems on the inside. This could be you. I mean it could be true of a marriage, it could be true of a church, an organization, a leader, you and me. You know we live in a world where image and appearance are everything. You know we work on our fitness, and our hair, and our wardrobe, making good comments, making good impressions, looking like we have it all together, but then maybe there's another you.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Passenger Advantage - #5563
You see, when it comes to the important needs and issues in our lives, we control-freaks want to make sure we're handling it, and Jesus says, "It's not your job, man. Get in the backseat. Your needs are the Father's job." Worrying, which He cautions against three times here, is a sure sign that you are driving. You obviously haven't turned over your trip to the Lord. In fact, "driver" wouldn't be a bad synonym for the word "Lord." We follow the Driver, Jesus Christ.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Looking Backward - #5589
In a way, we all have to choose which way we are going to ride through life. There are two lines: one says forward - looking ahead to what's going to happen, to the future. And the other says backward: looking back at the past. Those who choose to keep looking backward are going to have a much rougher road.
