Unconditional Love- Romans 5:8 (NIV)
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 […]
Fellowship With Believers- Psalm 133:1 (KJV)
Who likes going to the dentist? I can’t say that I enjoy it at all. I took my mother to her appointment yesterday and was there for two hours. It was a busy office and they were behind schedule. All in all, it was a great day. We shared lunch together at Apple Bees, talking […]
Comfort-Matthew 5:4 (KJV)
I was comforted while meeting with a close friend. We shared our hurts and concerns and sins. We cried, confessed and laughed. It was good. Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4 KJV)
Do Not Be Discouraged! Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
Making new habits, and changing old habits, takes time. I am trying to get rid of some bad eating habits. These habits have caused health problems. I am taking baby steps because I know, from the past, if I cut out everything, it will not stick. I will give up. I know that God will […]
I Am Thankful- Psalm 136:1 (NIV)
I had a dentist appointment today. I was concerned that I had an infection due to my gum being tender. I was right, so now I am on antibiotics. It is so important to keep up with my health. I only wished I could have kept up with my dental care years ago, but I […]
Know the Truth- I John 4:1 (NIV)
I had a dream that caused me to think, “what am I listening to or reading that isn’t God’s Word?” I do not want to be confused about the truth. I want to know the truth. I am seeking to know God more in His Word. There are many false teachers in the world and […]
Be Still for a Moment- Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
I woke up feeling overwhelmed. I looked at my calendar, and it was full of appointments. I need to slow down. I have a bad habit of putting more things on my already full calendar. Last year, I read a great book on slowing down. Umm, I need to apply that, right now! I […]
