The 8 Minute Devotion

Dreams (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

When we delight ourselves in the Lord, He gives us the desires of our heart.  Pastor Cameron is joined again by his wife Delia in this episode, and they tell the story of his proposal and their engagement.  God truly gave them everything they had dreamed of, and their desires were fulfilled.  God loves to do this for His children, and as we faithfully follow Him we invite His blessing in our relationships!  

God's Plans Are Better than Your Plans (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

Pastor Cameron continues with his story of his courtship of Delia - in today's episode we hear of the timing of their marriage and discover how God's plans are often better than ours!  Many times we imagine that God will make us wait or not give us our desires, but He often gives us even more than we expected.  His ways and thoughts are truly higher than our own. 

Purity on Purpose (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

When in a dating or courtship relationship, both parties should seek purity, on purpose!  Purity comes when we purpose in our heart to flee from youthful lusts - it should never be looked down upon but should be sought earnestly!  Join Pastor Cameron for today's podcast, as he continues to share how God blessed his courtship and ultimate marriage to his lovely wife, Delia.   

Seeking God (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

An important aspect of all romantic relationships is that the man and woman spend time seeking God together!  God should be at the center of all we do, and we can seek Him through praying, reading the Word of God, and serving in ministry together.  Join Pastor Cameron on today's podcast, as he shares how he and his wife sought God together during their courtship!  

Courage (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

Pastor Cameron is joined for the podcast today by his wife Delia, as we continue our series on how we can have relationships that honor God.  Courage is an important virtue in every part of our lives, even in relationships - we must be willing to take initiative and let our feelings be known in order for anything to happen.  The righteous are as bold as a lion, and we can trust God to give us courage to step into the unknown.   

Wait (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

Waiting on God is an important lesson for every believer to learn.  When it comes to relationships, it is very important to wait on God's timing and direction.  Join Pastor Cameron as we hear how and Delia waited on each other, as we get one more episode on how God led them before they became a couple.  Next week, we will move on their courtship and engagement.

Sacrifice (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron is joined by a guest for the first time in the podcast's history - his Lovely and Talented wife Delia!  They discuss the story of Abraham and Isaac, and compare it to their own love story; we often have to be willing to sacrifice the good thing God has promised us before we see the realization of the promise!  God wants to be sure that our heart belongs to Him first and foremost - that will bring us real joy and satisfaction.  

The Right One (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

Often when we are looking for a future spouse, we are asking if they are the "right one", without considering if we are becoming the "right one!"  Join Pastor Cameron as we consider that God does have a perfect plan for our relationships, but we need to first be concerned with becoming what God has created us to be.  

Surprise (Our Story - Love in His Hands)

It is often when we are not actively pursuing something that God brings it to us.  When we keep our eyes on Christ and seek to serve Him, He will bring us all good things we need to fuflill His calling.  Join Pastor Cameron today as we see how he was surprised at God's timing when he met his wife!  

Singleness (Our Story - Love in His Hands)
