Chasing the Wind-Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NIV)
How can anyone chase the wind? It blows where it will. If I am chasing after material things, I will become empty. They cannot satisfy my soul. God is the lover of my soul. In Him, there is life to the full. In Him, I find all that I need. I have seen all […]
Seasons Change- Isaiah

Trust When You Don’t See God’s Plan

I have found that love isn’t always returned. If I truly love someone, I love not expecting anything in return. I am practicing. God loved me before I even knew Him. He kept loving me even though I showed Him no reason to. I was gulfed in sin and rebellion. It was His great mercy […]
With Me Always-Matthew 28:20 para- (NIV)
When I miss the mark, fall short and entirely mess up, I know God still loves me. I know when I have done my very best, He will encourage me. God is still with me even when I don’t understand. He will never walk away. Others may leave me, but He will not. And surely, […]
God Brings Life- John 10:10 (NIV)
Attacks come from everywhere. I can see some attacks when they come, but being attacked in my sleep is not one of them. It is a tactic of the enemy. The devil knows my weaknesses and if he can’t get me in one area, he will use another. He does not care. His aim is […]
No, to Revenge! I Thessalonians 5:19 (NIV)
When Joseph went to check on his brothers, he was not greeted kindly. Instead, his brothers sold him into slavery. (Genesis 37:26-28) They were jealous of him. I am not always greeted with respect. Sometimes, I am not treated kindly, but God has the final word. I must endure and not take vengeance. Make sure […]
