Jesus was not a doormat. He cleansed the temple with a whip. He mesmerized crowds of 5,000. He debated and stood up to the Pharisees and Sadducees. He endured inhuman pain and death. He was a man in the best and truest sense of the word.
Fools Gold
By Susannah Wollman
I'm on my knees. How do I treat the gift that I've surrendered to God? I've surrendered several things, and I think I know how to do that part.

Can grief after suffering a loss be good for you? Can the grieving process be healthy? The answer is yes and then a very quick no. What I mean by that is there is an array of emotions when you have lost a loved one. Refrain from keeping your emotions bottled up inside. If you hold them in for long, your heart will become a prison cell filled with these emotions–a special place for hurts. Holding in emotions is not healthy and can produce a heart of stone. In Ezekiel 11:19 God says, “I will take away their hearts of stone and give them tender hearts instead”.
