How to Get There When You Don’t Have a Road Map

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with my eye.” (Psalm 32:8)

The Costly Gift

Can you imagine what it must have been like for God the Father to see His ONLY Son as a tiny helpless baby in a feeding trough? To be separated from Him in a way He had never been before. What love there must be in the heart of the Father to choose this separation!

When God Shuts the Door

God knows that instant gratification will spoil me for the best in life, that settling for second best will often cause heartache, that lack of self-discipline will make me soft instead of strong.

Be Mindful of Others

"When I first became a believer, there was nobody to disciple me so I...” was the same story I had heard time and again, unfortunately. New followers of Christ who have never attended church before often lack a spiritual mentor, which is understandable.

How To Wait When God Seems Slow

How Do We Wait? Waiting is not necessarily resignation from all activity; it is submission to God's better idea.

If Only God Would Tell Me Why

Dear Father, I want to trust you even when I don’t understand. I believe that you are lovingly and thoughtfully putting together this life-package for me. I want to know you in a deeper way.

Your Dream Job

Dream job: As a young girl, I knew I wanted to be a counselor. When I was in high school, one of my friends laid on my bed while I gave her relationship counsel and typed notes into my computer. Fast forward 20 years later, and I’m doing the same thing: only this time the clients I work with are talking to me as their marriage therapist and coach. I knew this seed was planted long ago

What You Think about God

It is so important that we have the Biblical image of God and not someone else’s.

Emptiness

Let me just say that emptiness leaves us empty. But without the emptiness how can we be filled? Think about it, if we’re already full, how can God fill us?

Follow the Leader

"He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” Psalm 23:3

So That

Our Father's teacher heart is evident by the way many of His instructions are followed by a "so that" phrase.

2023-06-28

It will be Well

Take a step back and ask God to help you see your situation through His eyes. In tough times we need Him to broaden our perspective. Be still my friend and know that He is God.

Steps to Truth

God wants all of us to walk in truth. When we do this, we are His delight. He also says that anyone who asks for wisdom will receive it (James 1:5). This is the first step when you are tempted to lie

Freedom Reigns in This Place

One of the most incredible things God gives us is the gift of freedom. He lifts the burden of sin and the wages of death and He sets us free.

Two Sides

Have you ever considered that people have a good side that we parade around for all to see and a dark side that we hide from view. Will you let God in to work on your dark side?

2023-06-24

Persistent Prayer

God hears your prayers, my friend! No matter what the circumstance is—Matthew 21:22 says, “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

2023-06-23

Overcoming Temptation

At times, if I really stop and think about how I felt during times of great distress and grief in my life, I realize that I don’t want to cause the Holy Spirit of God to experience grief because of my actions. Let us not resist the Lord’s prompting to turn away from the temptation which so easily besets us.

For Me or For Him?

We delude ourselves into thinking that our quiet times are primarily for our own benefit. We are intellectually aware that God is always with us, that His eye is not only on the sparrow but on each of us.

2023-06-21

Yielded Heart

Yield: To relinquish control to someone or something; To give something up to someone else; The opposite of being in control or in charge.

What God Already Gave: Forgiveness

Forgiveness that forgets. When the sins God already forgave haunt you, remember. He forgot.

Someone Needs Your Love

A lot of people we meet daily, walk around with plastic smile on their faces but with heavy hearts. Beneath their designer clothes and expensive accessories lies a broken and shattered person who longs for someone to share his/her thoughts with.

When You’re Waiting for the Impossible

"Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27

What Scars Reveal

Scars are meant to draw us closer to the Lord, not further from Him. They shape us into better servants for his kingdom. When God’s grace is extended to us in the form of healing, we are able to reflect on who we are and what we can become as his sons and daughters.

He is Out to Destroy You

John 10:10 “The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness”
