To Be Loved By You

Praise be to the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege. 22 In my alarm I said am cut off  from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help. Psalm 31:21-22 NIV Today as I sit reflecting on…

Don’t you forget! 

I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this. Psalms 139:14 GW ​When you know your worth, your value and your truth you begin to set proper boundaries around your life. Father thank you for teaching me…

I Can’t Say It Enough! 

Jesus loves you with an everlasting love. I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. Jeremiah 31:3 (NLT)   So often we take for granted the love of God. We often feel like there is no hope for us but I say to you…

For the Love of God!

​Some of the best conversations with God start out as complaints. What I love about God is that He allows us to share our disappointments, our heartaches, our offenses with Him. After all, He already knows.  This is true intimacy. When you can bring your pain to the person you feel hurt you and be…

Can we talk? 

As I sit and pen my thoughts this morning, I am reminded of Jesus’s experience in the Garden of Gethsemane.  It was at that place He had to make one of the toughest decisions in His life. Should He go forward to the cross, knowing that this was what He was destined to do? Or…

Decision, Decisions, Decisions

​ Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.   Sometimes I wish it was easy to make decisions that would satisfy everyone and leave us in a good place as…

It’s in the waiting….

Sometimes we just need to stop, breathe and listen to what God is saying. Life can be so busy at times that we miss the important instructions we need to go forward. Give yourself permission to sit still and enjoy the stillness of the moment.  That brief pause may hold the key to the breakthrough…

Don’t always believe what you see

“For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will…
