“I never knew you.” Those sound like such harsh words to hear from a loving person. However, they are not harsh when you look at them from the perspective of the speaker telling the truth. Imagine a random person walking up to a house during a funeral reception and saying they wanted to go in and mingle with the loved ones of the dead, and the owner of the house says “I’m sorry. You cannot go in.” And the person…..
#VIOLENTWednesday again, a day where we lift up prayer and highlight its importance. Jesus was constantly in prayer. If the firstborn of the Father, who was marinated in and born of the Holy Spirit thought prayer was important, you best believe that prayer should be our best friend. It is mine! I pray about EVERYTHING! Yes, even parking spaces. Lol 🤣🤣 I just love talking to Father and finding out if He has something to say to me. . . Today,…..

What an awesome blessing it is to be loved by the LORD, to be known by the LORD, to be held by the LORD, to be washed by the LORD. I was worshiping my Father at the edge of the throne, knowing that I was not worthy to be in His presence. I think evil thoughts, I get angry with people. I get frustrated. I have hurt people. I am unworthy. But I thought upon His goodness. I sang to…..
Isn’t it interesting how there is a physical representation of things spiritual? Physical Baptism, Spiritual Marriage The Lord asks that we be *baptized* after we have been taught thoroughly His Words and confess Him as Lord (Matthew 28:18-19). It is a physical washing representing the spiritual washing done by the Word. It is a marriage conducted in public with witnesses. It needs to be done only once and done intentionally. The vow is not to be taken lightly. Baptism, like…..
All my years saved, I “knew” God was a good and kind God. I accepted it by faith. The Bible says so. We grew up singing “Yes Jesus loves me, for the Bible tells me so.” Every Christian and even some non Christians can quote John 3:16. “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” That verse is on autopilot in our brains. It is the kind of statement you make and then shrug. We are used…..
Humans were the pinnacle of God’s creation on earth. God made everything else and after making man, He decided to rest. He looked at all His work and knew that with the man, all was good. For the first time, God did not call what He had created good but very good. Adam was an extension of God Himself on earth: he would make good decisions that would nurture and nourish everything else on earth. He had creative ability. He…..
Throughout the Bible, the voice of the woman in the presence of men seems muted except for a few instances. We hear the voice of Deborah in the book of Judges and the voice of Esther in the book named after her. The book of Ruth shows the voices of Ruth and Naomi but mostly in the presence of each other. In the genealogy of Jesus in the book of Matthew, only four women are mentioned: Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and…..
The sixth verse of Psalm 23, one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, says that “goodness and mercy will follow me all of my life… .” It is such an astounding statement. Yet, it is baffling because several lovers of God and Christ will state that they do not feel that way. They do not feel favored, like they are living in prosperity and beauty. They also would share that they do not feel God’s lovingkindness. In such a…..
Father, You are wonderful beyond comprehension. You know everything that concerns everything You made. You left a piece of You in every creature. You feel the movement of the sparrow. You sense the danger of the egg of the ostrich. You know when I lose a strand of hair. I am connected to You, And You are connected to me. You feel every hurt and hear every prayer. You are pleased when I obey and are sad when I stray……
