    You Are Valuable To God

    With myself as an empath and an overthinker with an introverted personality, it is important to know when to invest and when to stay distant. It is easy to feel the pain and become completely invested in trying to help others. The problem is that once invested, it is so important to remember...

    Fight For Your Marriage

    I'm so sorry to hear this. In this season your fight has shifted to healing. Your value as a person has never changed in the eyes of God. You're still His daughter and He loves you greatly. Healing can be difficult but I believe that if you rest in Him, all that feels lost will return. After...

    Fight For Your Marriage

    Keep up the fight! Do what is honorable in the eyes of God and despite the outcome, you will have either saved the marriage or was faithful to your part of the covenant. Sure it is unrealistic to say, even if you did everything God's way, she would fall in love. Unfortunately, so often it is...

    How do we love each other?

    They may not believe but that doesn't make it any less true. We are a slave to anything that controls us. God's law sets a standard of perfection. No one could meet perfection except Christ. Unless we follow God's laws perfectly then we are a slave to sin. Christ set us free from the Old...

    How do we love each other?

    Isn't that powerful? Our Lord sweating blood due to extreme anxiety about facing the cross and yet He settles on not my will, but your will shall be done. Scripture says that an angel came down to strengthen Him and yet oddly the angel comes before the blood of sweat. You would imagine a...

    How do we love each other?

    Amen! A new man or woman in Christ is key to understanding we are no longer held captive by the old ways of the flesh. We are set free to live in Christ. Of course, we must still wrestle with the flesh and choose His will over our will. Having His Spirit living within us as a certified helper...

    When You Feel Discouraged

    When You Feel Discouraged Being discouraged often stems from unmet expectations and can be linked to self-doubt or negative self-perception. Most of us will settle for the mundane routines of life because change often involves exerting a great deal of energy to learn and overcome obstacles...

    How do we love each other?

    In Christian terminology to take up our cross is symbolism for what Christ did in the flesh. It isn't literal in the sense we need to crucify ourselves physically but it provides the image that we are to accept and bear the burdens that come from following Christ. It involves denying the...

    How do we love each other?

    I agree completely. Unrelated but an interesting study on agape which a popular take is that it mean sacrificial love but the author shows it that isn't always the case. The interpretation is solely defined on author intent.

    How do we love each other?

    Galations 2:20 ESV I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Matthew 16:24-26 English Standard Version 24 Then Jesus told his...

    How do we love each other?

    1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. It is important to remember the source of love. Relying on mere emotion as humans is ultimately futile as we experience a whole range of emotions. To love as He loves can only come from obeying and abiding in the...

    Fight For Your Marriage

    Fight for your marriage. Get the therapy, put in the work, and never accept defeat because your vow never had words of defeat. Your vow which unfortunately by law may not have the teeth it should have but if you marry with God as a witness to your covenant, the law of God surpasses any law of...

    One Sentence And The All Holy Presence Of God

    One Sentence And The All Holy Presence Of God The presence of God is extreme and loving, but also the immediate desire to both praise and submit in reverence as you would a king. God has rarely had to intervene in these very personal experiences but it was this experience that turned my life...

    How would you rate President Trump's performance so far?

    I voted a 9 but I align him more with Reagan. So far he has done an amazing job with national security, religious liberty, pro-life victories (I'm hoping he will go after the abortion pill next), tax cuts, government waste, golden dome defense, putting Iran back for years on a nuclear bomb...
