Luke 1:5-7 (NIV) states: “In the time of Herod king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. But they…

Ephesians 5:25 (ESV) says, “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” This verse calls husbands to love their wives in the same way that Christ loved the church. The phrase “gave himself up for her” refers to the ultimate sacrifice Christ made by laying down His life…

1 Peter 2:17 urges believers to live with respect and love toward all people, while maintaining a reverence for God and respect for those in authority. “Honour everyone” means we should treat all people with dignity, regardless of their status or background. This reflects God’s command to love our neighbours. “Love the brotherhood” refers to…

Ecclesiastes 1:7 (ESV) says, “All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.” This verse offers a powerful image of how God’s purpose and love are endless.

One of the most profound chapters in Scripture is 1 Corinthians 13, where Paul teaches that without love, we gain nothing. It doesn’t matter how much we know or how much we…

I have had a heaviness on my heart for a few days. I’ve been reflecting on the verse that says we are all members of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12). Each part of that body has its own work to do, and every part needs the other. The ears hear, and the eyes…

Psalm 23:4 KJVYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. The “shadow of death” can represent those dark and dangerous paths we sometimes find ourselves on—paths that may seem like we’re walking headlong…

I’ve been reflecting a lot on where my deep love and passion for maids and nannies came from, and I realised something important. When my mum passed away when I was 17, I found myself being raised by the different maids and nannies who came into our home. Before my mum passed, I only recalled…
