One thing it makes me realize is just how similar we all are, around the globe. The details may be different, but every human heart is touched by themes like hope, comfort and mercy.

We can always find a reason to praise. Situations change for better and for worse, but God's worth never changes.

We are to live in eager expectation of our heavenly inheritance.

An old pop music producer once said that there are really only four kinds of song a person can write: "I love you/I hate you/go away/come back!" That's a funny observation.

The sense of being alone is a huge issue for so many people in this world. As a worshipper of Jesus, there's a very real sense that we are always seen, held and known.

Most songs come from being attentive. Attentive to life, attentive to scripture, attentive to your heart. Pay attention!
