    Everything that God is, despite everything that I'm not

    Dear God (Written October 29, 2013 at 3:22pm) I’m Judas who betrayed You with a kiss (Luke 22:48) I am likened to Joseph’s brothers, selling the innocent into slavery because of evil jealousy within my heart. (Genesis 37:18-36) ... I’m David lingering at home instead of leading the battle...

    "THIS IS NOT THE END!"

    “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12 “Patient” in this verse is the Greek word hypomeno. It is a verb that means, “To remain; not recede or flee; to persevere; under misfortunes and trials to hold fast to one’s faith in Christ; to endure, bear bravely...

    The need for hope

    Overwhelmed with life in many ways, my sister and I decided to go for a late night walk. We sang half the time, and the other half we talked. With aching heart's we broke out joining together in song with these stinging words; "The lights go out all around me, one last candle to keep out the...

    Hardened hearts

    As a sidenote: I have chosen to go back to the Hebrew name for God, because I have had it pressed on my heart that I need to be clearly identified with the God of Israel, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So it’s going to be a bit of a transition to change the habit through my speech and...

    Quest for Love

    "All I want is love!" I foolishly cry, then wander in circles and heavily sigh. "Don't you know me?" I hear a voice. I spin my head around and then clumsily fall. I'm on my knees now, I look up at His face... "I am love, so what is it you chase?" "Lydia, you've never been alone, I'm right...

'Thank You Jesus'.) and go through the motions others around you are going through.” “God cannot be mocked. The scripture says the Lord...
