Leaping into Love
People tend to cling to the past. We do this because it’s easier to believe that our best days have passed us by, but the truth is that better days are before you. We spend a good deal of energy thinking about the man that made us feel good about the world and good about…

Jewels of Truth
One of my favorite passages of scripture is Jeremiah 17:7-8(NIV). It says, “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are…

What’s Wrong with This Picture
Matthew 5:43-45 (NLT) “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’[a] and hate your enemy. 44 But I say, love your enemies![b] Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil…

Don’t Break His Heart
Many people live their lives from the outside in. They allow what is happening in their environments to dictate what is happening internally. For instance, if something happens at work and someone does something they don’t like, they allow this person’s actions to ruin their day. People often find themselves reacting negatively to situations and…

Turn from Your Past and Usher in A New Joy!
The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:13-14(NLT), “13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through…

The Boomerang Effect
Very soon, the one day of the year that we have chosen to supercharge love and put it on blast will be upon us. For some people, it is a very happy day, and for others…not so much. If it is a day that makes your blues even bluer, I have a suggestion. Why not…

Overcoming the Hurt of Betrayal
Difficulties and painful circumstances are facts of life for everyone, but for a wife coping with the pain of your husband’s infidelity, it can seem unbearable.

Put Your Words on A Diet
John 1:1 tells us that in the beginning was the Word of God, and we know from Genesis that Heavenly Father literally spoke things into existence. This gives us some indication of how incredibly potent words can be. Our mouths are no play thing, for with them confessions are made. When we first came to…

The Victory Is Yours!
I received a Christmas card over the holidays, and on the front of the card were young children dressed in white, playing cheerfully. The odd thing was that they each had red paint spattered all over their clothes and faces. I was intrigued by the outside of the card because it seemed an unusual scene…

“Was That Really You, Lord?”
Our Heavenly Father never gets tired, but if He did, I believe “Was that really You, Lord?” is one of the questions His kids have been asking Him for a very long time. This is especially true after we’ve made a decision we assumed was on point with the Lord, but the results tell a…
