Psalm 40:2b “He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path.” Father, teach me to rest in your unfailing love. I admit I get lost trying to find my way through life’s ups and downs. I don’t always know where to go or what to think.

The Only Totally Fair Judge!

Sometimes I cringe at how often we make judgments about people’s behavior or actions from things we hear or read or see. “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:6-8 Remember this, God is fair!

I Want to Experience More of God’s Love

Most of us have sung, “Jesus loves me this I know,” and recited “For God so loved the world,” since we were children. Yet, we don’t experience God’s love.

Intimacy with God

God wants to walk with you and talk with you. Welcome Him to into your heart and fellowship with Him... no books, no Bible, no sermon, no ritual, no expectations, no agenda.

Extravagant Love

Do I Have To?

I didn’t want to forgive them. They’d emotionally abused me for a long time, and it felt like a bone bruise

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.”

All That is Within Me?

Sure, I bless the Lord with my lips and, as much as I can, with my heart. But with all that is in me? Can I really bless Him when my lower back is kinked or my sinuses are blocked and filled with pain?
