Rich Mercy and a Thankful Heart

Good morning!! I'm so thankful this morning that... "The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness." (Psalm 103:8) ~This is our God...slow to anger and ABOUNDING in lovingkindness.~ "Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance?  You do not stay … Continue reading Rich Mercy and a Thankful Heart

Vessels of Light

Good morning!! Guess what? “YOU (and I) are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, … Continue reading Vessels of Light

Equipped to Endure

Good morning!!

The Two Voices

Listen up, Self! Today, there will be two voices to listen to. There will be the quiet Voice of Truth whispering to my soul…and there will be the screaming lies of the Master Deceiver. The Deceiver is crafty and will know just what to say to get me down…to get me to focus on myself instead of Jesus. But Truth will be there, quietly whispering in my soul.

What is That Smell?!!

When we are living in a way that is pleasing to God...when we spend time in His Word, spend time with Him in prayer...when we allow Him to purify our hearts and minds, allow Him to guide our steps...others will be drawn to the life~giving aroma that is Christ in us and Christ spilling out of us. His fragrance draws us in, comforts us, gives us hope, causes us to remember His faithfulness, makes us crave Him more.

Unqualified

Good morning!! This week at church, we've been challenged with this question..."Is my Yes on the table?"  Have I said "Yes" to Jesus...not knowing what I'm saying yes to, but fully trusting His character, His ways, and His plans for me? But...what if I'm not "qualified?"  If He (or anyone else) did a background check, … Continue reading Unqualified
