Opportunities
Life has a way of challenging us. It tasks us to grow, develop character, and allow things to happen in order to make us into better people. If we choose not to accept this opportunity, we can become bitter, angry, and resentful. Simply put, things happen to everyone. Cars break down. Jobs are lost. Homes …
Choosing a Simple Life
“7 Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may …
You Are Enough.
Those of us who experienced abuse in childhood or marriage – whether verbal, physical, sexual, psychological, or any combination thereof – often struggle with feelings of inadequacy, self-criticism, self-hatred, doubt, fear, and even self-condemnation. We need to remember that Jesus bled and died for us, too. He was with us through those times, holding us …
Part of Me
Long ago, when I formed you in your mother’s womb, I placed a piece of Myself inside you. I have been with you since your conception. I was there as your organs formed, as your fingers and toes took shape. I determined the color of your eyes and the sound of your voice. I was …
Your Heart
I am doing a work in your heart. There are scarred areas, wounds from deep-seated hurts and fears….. I am healing them.

Blessings
Blessings upon blessings upon blessings upon blessings upon blessings. I am going to bless you more deeply, more thoroughly, more intensely than you ever thought possible. Open your hands. I am going to fill them over and over and over again until there is no more room. No more room. Not anywhere. No more room. …
Let Me
Let Me love you. Let go of the past and all it means to you, the good and the bad. There is nothing you can do to change what was. It happened. It’s over. It is part of who you are now, but it does not have to affect who you will be. Give it …
How Much?
How much do you love Me? Enough to abandon yourself wholeheartedly to My will for your life? Enough to walk in My love every minute, every day? Enough to show My love to each person I bring across your path in life? Enough to look past the outside of those people to what I have …
For You
The God of all creation – the One who spoke the universe into existence; Who placed the stars in the heavens and the fish in the deeps of the sea; Who lovingly fashioned the delicate rose petal as well as the majestic elephant; Who set the earth in motion, giving us time and seasons, day …
Vision
Come with me for a moment. I want to show you something: In the corner of a room in Heaven, there is a window through which shines the light of Jesus. The room itself is nothing special as rooms go – the paint is pale yellow; the floor is polished oak; there are no curtains …
