reflections on the love that changes everything
Jesus is telling us that our fears reveal the areas where our faith is lacking, and it’s God’s power to calm the storm that strengthens the faith he gives us in our feeble hearts. The king who rules over creation gives us his power to stand firm in the chaos and glorify him with our lives.

You are a child of the high King of heaven who has begun his reign. He reigns in our hearts, he reigns in this world, and one day, all the world will see Jesus for the great king he is.
It’s been said that within the heart of every person is a throne and someone or something is sitting on that throne. Whoever sits on that throne is the king of our heart and they govern our actions….
So who is the king of your heart? And what kind of king do you serve?
