How can you call yourself someone’s best friend and continually shatter his or her heart with lies? I’ll never understand deceit in friendships. I thought the purpose was to bond with another person. The friendship loses its meaning when you can’t trust what comes out of the other person’s mouth. It’s even worse when theContinue reading “A Friend?”

The Perfecting of Faith
I gained some powerful insight recently. God is developing and strengthening my faith in this season of my life. Previously, He had me build my trust in Him by looking to Him to help me pull through my trials. Then, I had to receive by faith the prayers I made to Him would be released.Continue reading “The Perfecting of Faith”
To Endure and Perservere
Our endurance and perseverance in the making of our testimony gives glory to God. People are then able to observe that our strength is not of our own creation but of the Lord. We are supernaturally imbued with power, so His “strength is made perfect in our weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
God Uses the Least of Us
Every difficulty creates a testimony to bring deliverance to others. God uses the humble and the least of us to show how mighty and miraculous His power truly is. Just as Joseph, Moses, and Esther were hidden until an appointed time, God will also hide us until the appointed time He wants us to operateContinue reading “God Uses the Least of Us”
The Reliant
Why do you rely on him More than you rely on Me? I literally knew you from the start. I heard and smiled at your first heart beat. Jeremiah 29:11 I intend the utmost best for you! I gave it all for you, Paying the ultimate price. Why rely on him? What does he offer?Continue reading “The Reliant”

We are a mess. Not the kind you find in a kitchen After a hastily prepared meal. But a wonderful Felix Culpa, ‘happy fault.’ We’re the type of mess Occurring when paint meets brush. When what was meant to be an exercise in formal technique Turns into an abstract rendering A work of aesthetics thatContinue reading ““A Mess””
Even if He Doesn’t
I love how matter-of-fact they are: “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and [He] will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.Continue reading “Even if He Doesn’t “
Feeling Helpless After Suffering an Offense
The feeling of helplessness often follows when we endure an offense. Other times the thoughts of wanting to respond negatively to the offense is at the forefront of our minds. Yet there is one thing we must always remember… God will hold people accountable for the offense and deceit they commit. It’s one of theContinue reading “Feeling Helpless After Suffering an Offense”
Long-suffering
There’s a reason long-suffering is a fruit of the Spirit. We can’t produce the level of understanding and patience another human being needs. People are flawed. They progress and regress constantly. Occasionally, they execute both in the same day. God given tolerance is essential to maintaining relationships. When faced with stress or chaos we oftenContinue reading “Long-suffering “
Change: Patience During the Process
God gave me understanding through a song, “The Best in Me,” sung by Marvin Sapp. I correlated it with the understanding I received earlier today, which was God believes in us because He can simultaneously see our past, present, and future. I’m so very thankful He can or else I would give up on myContinue reading “Change: Patience During the Process”
