Day 40 of God’s Love for Us February 8, 2018 “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through him who loved us” (Romans 8:35-37 NASB ). Satan will give us all of these tests and struggles, including money and comfort because he hates God. Satan does not like you and me or Read More

Day 38 of God’s Love
Day 38 of God’s Love for Us December 30, 2017 “When we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one. We cannot love when we feel fear…. When we release the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total love and oneness with all” by Gerald G. Jampolsky. This quote came as a daily quote earlier this week. It made me really think about fears of the past. When we Read More
Day 37 of God’s Love
Day 37 of God’s Love for Us December 22, 2017 Today’s demonstration of God’s love comes from song by Matt Maher called “Hold Us Together.” I believe that God has used Matt and many others to write songs that point to Jesus. In this song, Matt points us directly to Jesus’ two greatest commandments, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. And “The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” (Matthew 22:37, 39 NASB). Now Matt Maher’s lyrics that touched me to demonstrate Read More
Day 27 of God’s Love
Day 27 of God’s Love for Us November 17, 2017 “Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins. But He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until his enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.”(Hebrews 10:11-14) Jesus, when He gave himself to be sacrificed and crucified, made way for a better covenant with God for everyone Read More
The Universe and a Ladybug
In September, my pastor gave us a visual of how big our galaxy is. Then he painted the picture verbally of how great God is, and that He holds all of it in place in the palm of His hand. Yet He is so meticulous and loving to hold us individually and admire us just as we hold and admire a ladybug in our own hand. There is no fear valid or worthy for the person who holds Christ in their heart. “God wants us to hear His voice. In order to love God, we need to hear His voice Read More
Dads and Labels
Dads and Labels – July 20, 2017 – Dads have labels for us, don’t they? For me, my dad calls me his favorite son. When he started calling me that as an adult, it was pointed out that I was his only son, for that matter, I was an only child. He reaffirmed then, it was appropriate for me to be his favorite. Growing up, all I ever wanted to be was like him, a hard working mechanic and car dealer. What I didn’t realize, was that my heavenly Father has given me gifts to be more than just a Read More
God’s Work
God’s Work – June 22, 2017 – How does God want us to live? God wants us to be coachable, I think. Coachable at the speed of His voice. God speaks to us with a small voice from inside us, from the voices of those around us, the words on paper that we read, and the actions of others that we see. His Holy Spirit is inside us and all around us. Some call this voice inside intuition, or gut feelings. Whether you’re a believer or not, that internal voice is unmistakable. Trouble comes to us when we don’t listen Read More
