Are You Listening?
Yes, You did, Lord. If it were not for Your great Patience, I would have no Hope. But Love is patient (1Corinthians 13:4) and You love like no one else. I don’t believe your words are said in frustration. I have thought that. But, every time I look at your Sacrifice, I am convinced your…
My Fortress
I need strength and protection. I’m needy that way. My own strength and ability to protect myself is restricted because of my humanity. Furthermore, my adversary, the Evil One, is not overcome by human effort anyway. Here’s where my Protector and Defender comes in. He will shield me. He will grant me the resilience to…
Love Set Me Free

I hate conceding defeat. I put all my energy into my visions and goals and dreams and when they don’t align with God, I still, at times, push my agenda. But God has plans for me, and trying to engage in a battle with Him, is futile. “… suppose a king is about to go…
Casting
This is probably one of the most cited Scriptures ever. After today, I will have posted it 3 times on Instagram. If you feel a little jaded, I understand. Sometimes, I will see it, and it may or not land in my heart. At this point, I will say, look at it a little differently….
Dear God…
…am here, looking and waiting. I’m not the only one. I wish I were better at loving You. I wish I conveyed to you in a more worthy way the love and worship You deserve. But, sometimes, I just send You my sadness and hurts and my concerns and worries in prayer and neglect recognizing…
