Grow up to the point where you will let your Father feed you, let your Father carry you, let your Father lead you. You're never stronger than the moment you reach up a trembling, empty hand and say, "Father, lead me by the hand." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-great-wall-destroyer-6745 2012-11-16T10:20:54-05:00 When we go into the Father's presence sort of distant from each other, we almost always come out of His presence closer. Prayer softens hearts; prayer helps us see people and situations through God's eyes. And prayer is the great wall destroyer. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/when-the-kids-all-agree-6633 2012-06-15T10:33:58-05:00 I've asked young people before, "How many people are in your prayer triplet?" The answer - four. Because Jesus said, "You can see three, but I'm right there." So don't just pray for people. Pray with people. Don't say, "I'll pray for you." Put an arm around them and pray right there. Get a regular team of partners together who agree on some things and be prepared to see mountains moved, and hearts changed, and answers discovered. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-hug-that-gets-you-through-the-night-6585 2012-04-07T14:04:40-05:00 God is the Daddy that we've always wanted to hold us. And His is the hug that will get you through the night. He's reaching for you. Reach for Him. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/unwanted-6572 2012-03-20T10:44:38-05:00 Jesus loves you so much because you're twice His; once because He made you, and once because He paid for you with His life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/when-the-party-turns-to-pig-slop-6568 2012-03-14T10:14:15-05:00 The homing instinct in the human heart knows where to go when everything else has failed. You go to the person who never stopped loving you. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/running-ahead-of-your-supply-lines-6518 2012-01-04T10:53:45-05:00 When worry comes, get the hook, get it off center stage, and don't run ahead of your supply lines by worrying into tomorrow. Remember, your Father has everything under control! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/going-not-knowing-6515 2012-01-04T10:47:49-05:00 Jesus died for you. Is He ever going to do you wrong? God's mystery trips always lead to a destination that is selected with you in mind for your good. So, why not settle back, enjoy the trip, and let Him drive. Trust your Father and don't be afraid of going not knowing. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/our-own-little-bethlehem-6505 2011-12-16T09:29:56-05:00 You know, Christmas really is all about a Baby who came to die so we could live. And I will never stop thanking Him that He saw that lost little family in a second floor apartment on the south side of Chicago and sent a missionary - my brother - who never spoke a word to gave us Jesus.
