Respond with forgiveness.

I am a nobody. Nothing special. Just an ordinary person. Guilty of crimes. And Jesus gave His life for me.

Lord, forgive us. Your grace is enough.

It may be that God wants you to be satisfied with Him, the giver of great blessings, before getting the blessing. It may be that He is getting you ready to experience Him in a whole new way. A fiery sort of way.

Like Jesus did often, take time to get away and pray. Seek the Lord’s wisdom and ask for discernment in this situation. Study His Word and live it out. You know who wins in the end.

May Jesus find us being faithful about His Father’s work when He returns.

Jesus is the answer for troubled hearts, broken lives, and chaotic times.

What “cup” has the Lord given you?

Do you know Him? He offers you eternal life, victory over death and sin, and all you have to do is accept.

Like the pressure of the earth creating diamonds out of carbon deposits, God is creating something beautiful out of you. It doesn’t make the trial or the storm any easier. But knowing God is at work is comforting in the midst.

Today, let’s allow the Lord to shine His truth into our lives, searching our intent and refocus on what’s really important.

The enemy may have power in this world, but remember, God has overcome this world. All because of what Jesus did for us on the cross.

Like my avocado aversion, we can live our whole lives seeing God from a distance, never truly experiencing Him. We can miss out on incredible moments of God because we’re too afraid of letting go of our life preservers and getting out of our safety boats.

Have you met Jesus? How did that change you? Have you professed that to the world? We all have a story to share, will you tell yours?

Doubt is the killer of our dreams. And doubt is the killer of our faith.

Jesus is our guide on the uncertain path of life.

Let’s seek to glorify God in and through our marriage this year.

Turn to Him in your despair, anger, hurt, and frustration. Allow Him to work all things out for you.

When we look at our daily routine, do we have a time set aside for getting alone with God?

It’s a different world. We use the past for examples and guidance and move towards the future looking for new opportunities to make His name known. The message remains the same – Jesus saves.

When we find ourselves in that position, in the middle of never-where, we have a choice. We can follow the example of Judas or we can follow the example of Peter.

Fearing God isn’t being afraid of Him – it’s being scared of living life without Him.

To be a leader one must have a servant’s heart.

He follows us when we wander, He pursues us when we rebel—He just doesn’t give up on us.

We can run with endurance because God supplies what we need along the way.

We are not yet what we will be, but we are “growing toward it.”

Today, let’s remember what God has called us to do and do it. Don’t get focused on the wrong things, the things that won’t really matter in eternity.

Why do we put off doing what we want to do?

Jesus has invited all of us to the table. Will you come?

Jesus. He alone deserves our worship and praise.

If God has saved you, you have been brought into His marvelous light, as the scripture says. You have been changed! And it’s time to celebrate!

In Jesus we have a fresh start.

Don’t let this New Year begin without a renewed commitment to Him…His way, His time, His glory.

Though we may not look the best on the outside, if we have a heart after Him, that’s all God needs to work mightily in our lives.

Want to hear the advice that changed my life?

How do you set goals for the coming year?

The Bible tells us to examine ourselves. Ask the tough questions about your salvation. Test yourself to see if you are truly saved.

To this day, the enemy prowls around seeking to destroy you. But you and I have an advocate. We have a Savior.

Jesus beckons. He calls us to join Him. To sit at His feet. To seek His face. To feel His presence.

We are not worthy on our own. We need Jesus.

When we realize that we have nothing to give to Jesus but our hearts and our repentance, beautiful things happen.

Where do you find true peace?

When we draw near to God, He brings us comfort.

God’s Word is worthy, withstands the pressure of change, and it’s an eternal commitment. If God says it, I believe it.

Jesus works in our bad days, sometimes even more than on our good days.

Jesus never promised the road would be easy as His follower. In fact, time and time again, He pointed out how hard it would be. But the rewards far outweigh the risk.

This world says a lot about truth. They want to claim “that’s not my truth” when there is only one source of absolute truth – the Word of God, the Bible. Not just a portion, but the whole thing.

Surrender to the Lord today. No more pretending. No more playing. Just full surrender.

If you want to build a life worth living, Jesus must be the beginning. He must be the cornerstone.

We are called to take up our armor, the shield of faith and the sword of the spirit, to not just survive life…but to THRIVE in life.
