But something good happens in your heart when you make yourself sit down and you start writing about that person's strengths, and their contributions to your life, to others' lives. And something good happens in their life when they get your gratitude in a letter. You are indeed building them up. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/a-rescue-mission-6484 2011-11-18T11:45:51-05:00 God often uses the wandering of loved ones to actually make us re-examine our own lives. And the good news, if you're willing to mobilize all your resources, well, listen to what happened here. It says, "Abram recovered all the goods and brought back his relative." Fight for that loved one of yours with everything you've got, and God will bring them home. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/twister-love-6456 2011-10-11T10:30:39-05:00 Write that letter. Make that call. Go see that person. Give that gift. Say that thank you. Grab that time together. Show them you love them now. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/two-legged-bait-6367 2011-06-13T13:25:32-05:00 What changes do your friends and family see in you that would make them want to have an explanation for those changes? That's how you draw men and women to Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-knife-and-the-nails-6339 2011-04-28T15:11:20-05:00 In a very deep, eternal sense, God's Son took your knife. How can you say no to Him? Go to that cross and say the two words that make all the difference forever, "For me. For me." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/poison-in-pretty-packages-6326 2011-04-11T10:20:21-05:00 That sin that looks so good on the package; it will take over your personality, your body, your relationships, your dignity, and your worth. It's poison! No matter how inexpensive sin seems to be, it will actually end up costing you everything. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/dirty-dead-clean-dead-dead-dead-6293 2011-03-11T16:08:48-05:00 You could make a dirty person clean, but only God can make a dead person live. We try every way to make it on our own spiritually, but we can't. That's why Christ gave His life. Now, if you die without Christ, you'll be separated from God forever. But He's in your reach right now. You feel knocking on the inside? Let Him in. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/where-you-were-born-to-be-6174 2010-09-09T09:34:44-05:00 Follow God where He's taking you. The alternative - a future filled with the bitter regrets of someone who knows they've missed what they were put here for. Don't settle for anything less than being where you were born to be, and doing what you were born to do. http://truewoman.com/?id=1221 2010-08-31T16:17:18-05:00 Whenever I spend time with these women, I always leave with a greater appreciation for all they’ve taught me. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/your-feet-in-two-canoes-6163 2010-08-25T10:17:24-05:00 Aren't you tired of being torn apart inside, trying to choose between your two masters; trying to live with your feet in two canoes? They continue to drift in opposite directions, and so do you. God has some straight talk to you, right from His Word in Joshua 24:15 , "Choose...this day whom you will serve." "Choose!" He said. And choose is what you're going to have to do. Choose the One who loves you most. Choose the One you'll be with forever. Choose Jesus.
