I am not a random occurrence. A life that aimlessly exists, using up resources without reason. No, I have a purpose. I was created intentionally for a cause. I do not waver in my understanding of this since He has affirmed that this is true. “.. all who claim me as their God, … I…
Truth doesn’t have to hold hands with Love. It can be all by itself and stand alone since it has strength as fact. Love, though, has to be married to Truth. Love can’t lie. Once deceit or lies are introduced, then Love dies. Love is incompatible with falsehood since Love seeks the good of others…
I think I love hearts so much because of the symbolism and because, generally, they are symmetrical. To me, there’s just so much meaning and beauty in them. So, I asked Him to send them to me in any way He chose. I read a Christian writer’s account of Him sending hearts in various ways….
I was bound and detained without hope of release. Yet during that time, I thought I was unconfined. I lived a life of open abandon that deceived me to think I had freedom. But I was restricted since my mind didn’t know Truth and Love. I functioned behind a barricade where I watched over my…
I am not always the most spiritual person. My inner brat takes over and it drowns my appreciation for all the incredible things in my life. I wrote yesterday that I was battling the grey. Then, I put my heart and mind into seeing Him in all the beauty of my life. I was feeling…

I love being able to write in this blog. I actually do it more for me than anything. I kind of doubt very many people see it anyway, so it’s become a way to release my feelings on “paper”. For a while, it has served to free my heart when it is held down by…
How else would LOVE be? Is it possible to love insincerely? I couldn’t. For me to love is to give your heart honestly, completely, wholly, sacrificially and with all the risk that comes with that. But, that doesn’t mean I have done that quickly, easily, or often in my life. I reserved love for a…
Philippians 1:21a I thought through my life as a Christian and I wondered what word spans most of my time as a believer and describes my most common feeling. Guilt won by a huge margin. It has both motivated Me and paralyzed Me. I’m hyper-aware of my sin. I see where I fail. I believe…
I only have one sure bet in my life. The one constant that is secure and guaranteed. The Love that He has for Me. It carries zero spiritual risk. This verse and the truth behind it, were understood. But, not really because I still had moments where I inserted my will. Faith and Fear coexisted. …
