I am utterly amazed at how religion and the world system isolates and separates us while Christ calls us to community and to be ONE.

A friend of mine asked if he was listening to the instruction of man too closely. So I asked the Father, "When is close too close?"

What if the presence of difficulty and hardship were just the Lord’s plea for us to embrace our dependence and pursue relationship with Him?

When life hurts us, there's a temptation to make a pact with the devil to survive it. This play for power over the pain in our lives is deadly and devastating.

Troubled with this world? I just might be looking at the wrong thing. If I'm experiencing despair and discouragement, the problem might be my vision and not my circumstance.

Life events make up my story—the good, the bad & the ugly. Life can be painful, we were never promised a pain-free existence but avoidance of pain makes more.

The fear of anxiety twists us on the inside and out. Ultimately it overshadows our beauty. It can change our living outlook making us ugly.

Our world is steeped in the pursuit of romance. We long for it desperately. We want romance because we were made in the image of a romantic God.

How far will our God go to make Himself known and to love us? I can never underestimate the lengths to which God will go in assisting me to know Him. His reach and pursuit is often shocking.

I received the word pining. In it God implied that I have pined for a father and a father's love all my life yet now I will carry His own pining as a father to the fatherless through me.

My God is able to use even my mouth and heart as an instrument to proclaim His symphony. He is winning, whether I feel, see, or even sense His victory.

Work can sometimes make us feel less than beautiful. But there is someone Who’s eye is on me who does still find me lovely—He calls me dark yet lovely.
