It’s The Thought That Counts

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.– ROMANS 6:23 He smiled widely as he mounted the stairs and approached the front door to the house. One hand behind his back, obviously hiding something. As he walked through the doorway, he leaned over…

Are You Making These Mistakes?

You saw no form on the day God spoke to you at Horeb from out of the fire. Remember that. Carefully guard yourselves so that you don’t turn corrupt and make a form, carving a figure that looks male or female, or looks like a prowling animal or a flying bird or a slithering snake…

We all need somebody 

When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. Romans 12:13 NLT I used to feel like a prisoner locked inside my own world not knowing how to escape. Have you been here? Have you noticed that it is hard to talk to others around you about…

Let’s be real for a moment 

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom. PSALM 51:6 AMP ​How often have we been here?  When we finally begin to be who we were called to be. When we finally start embracing ourselves,  flaws and all and let go…

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.

Speak Life

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)   Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Do you remember this old adage? It would often be heard on a schoolhouse playground as children were teasing…

Have you had a checkup lately?

Disagreements are common in relationships. So are hurt feelings. It is our job to prepare our hearts ahead of time for these moments. Always allowing room for errors. Always being quick to forgive.

Why Can’t We All Just Get Along!!

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits. Romans 12:16 (AMP)     Relationships are tough to be in at times, but not impossible to master. When I…

Be Not Deceived

 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.      Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) It is amazing how we go about our daily lives and never take the time to consider what will come of the decisions we make. There are instances in our lives wherein we are…
