Isaiah 53 “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way.” (Isaiah 53:6). Sheep are a prey species and often resort to fleeing for their own protection. How many of us do the same? When the enemy (Satan) attacks, do we always turn to God and have faith […]
I remember as a kid either in gym class or with the neighborhood kids getting ready to play a game of either football, kickball or baseball, and lining up to have two captains choose who they want on their team. What a horrible feeling to be picked last. What a great feeling to know on God’s […]
Ugh! Road construction! Seems like every street I turn on in my town has construction signs posted. Roads closed. Please detour. Very frustrating for travelers; but in the end, they will be beautiful and newly paved. Recently, I had gotten a ride to the store and my friend went up one of the roughest and torn […]
Jesus told them, “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen— the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.” And he added, “God blesses those who do not […]
I believe we must make something undeniably clear, in scripture, Jesus commanded all his followers, not just those in full-time ministry, to share the good news with everyone around them. “Jesus said to his followers, ‘Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone’” (Mark 16:15). You don’t have to be well spoken or […]
“Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24) This verse teaches us to increase our faith by changing our focus; the key is believing before we see. If we don’t see it in our minds eye, we will never see it come to fruition. […]
I have learned through the years that friends or acquaintances will come and go from our lives, but the true ones will stay forever. Now, this doesn’t mean the ones that have journeyed away from us weren’t loved and important, they were just put on our paths for different reasons. God sends us helpers all […]
Creator Lord, the source of all wisdom and purpose, and the blessing of those who labor; be with us in our work to guide and govern our world. Give to all people work that enhances human dignity and bonds us to one another. Give us pride in our work, a fair return for our labor, […]
Ephesians 2:1-10 “When it rains, it pours.” I feel like I have been using this statement a lot lately to explain the current season of life I am going through. With every step forward, it seems I am knocked 20 steps back. It is during these times that I sometimes ask God what I have […]
My dear beloved child always remember I am here with you. I am not blind to the circumstances and situation you are in right now. All this shall pass my love, just hang on a little while longer. You are stronger than you think and these days are not new to you. […]
