I haven’t slept too well tonight…woken up a couple of times…up now at 3:00 am. Part of me wants to feel discouraged, but His Spirit encourages me. He reminds me that :
He loves me
He’s given me a promise
He’s always with me
and He has a plan
My Lord keeps bringing the lyrics of this song to my [...]

Sometimes I start to wonder if I’m not bold enough in my witness to others. However, I’m quickly reminded that I MUST be led by the Holy Spirit, and I cannot force such things. In my personal relationships, God will lead me…He will give me the words to say at the right time. I find [...]

I need a word from God…I need THE Word of God…everyday. At times, I may feel alone on this journey. Every once in a while, I feel a little rejected, judged, lonely, and unloved…or maybe even unlovable. However, there is One who knows all the minor disappointments and hurts. There is a verse that keeps [...]

Easter Reflections
(by: Helen Steiner Rice)
With OUR EYES we see
The beauty of Easter
as the earth awakens once more…
With OUR EARS we hear
The birds sing sweetly
to tell us Spring again is here…
With OUR HANDS we pick
the golden daffodils
and the fragrant hyacinths…
But only with OUR HEARTS
can we feel the MIRACLE of GOD’S LOVE
which redeems all men…
And only with [...]

This is a song I uploaded on Face-book a while back. It’s one of many by Third Day that speaks to my soul. I am also touched by this You-Tube video by New Beginnings Chapel. Hope you will be as well.
