Sometimes God calls us to hard things. Often in our pain we feel alone, misunderstood, and as if no one cares about us. These are lies. Jesus understands your pain, He cares about you, and He desires a deep and rich relationship with you. This year, leading up to Easter I’ve been meditating on theContinue reading “Facing Your Pain Pt. 3”

Facing Your Pain Pt. 2
In our last post, we looked at how Joseph was able to forgive his brothers even though their actions toward him were extremely hateful. Somewhere between being sold into slavery and ruling over Egypt, he learned how to forgive them. We’re focusing on that time between being harmed and being in power. Have you ever,Continue reading “Facing Your Pain Pt. 2”
Facing Your Pain Pt. 1
Joseph was a man that knew something about forgiveness and overcoming bitterness. Most of us are familiar with the story that spans chapters 37-50 of Genesis. The naive teenage boy at odds with his brothers because of the family situation that he was born into. Jealousy and hostility grew and he was sold into slavery;Continue reading “Facing Your Pain Pt. 1”
Acceptance and Freedom
Do you have goals for next year? Most likely these include ways you want to improve or change. That’s fantastic! I believe that God gives us seasons and years for the purpose of looking back to assess and then plan for the future. However, there is no significance in the changing of the clock orContinue reading “Acceptance and Freedom”

I know the reality that someoneContinue reading “The Power of Testimony”
Into His Image – Prayer
Lord, You are so kind. How You think, how You love, all of Your ways are deeper, higher and wiser than anything we could ever think or feel. Being made into Your image is our primary goal as it brings us into constant fellowship with You, it brings us closer to You. God, Your WordContinue reading “Into His Image – Prayer”
Into His Image
Not our works, not our actions. We are only transformed into His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. Trust God. Seek Him. Be Affirmed in Christ.
Who Holds Your Mirror?
Let’s visualize for a moment each of us are standing in front of a mirror. Since we are made in His image, God is holding each mirror. When we sin it’s like streaks on a mirror. You know the ones – they are stubborn, you can’t quite see any clear image because they are in the way. They take a little more work to wipe away. You may think it’s gone but then you look from a different angle and see the same imperfection or a new one comes seemingly from nowhere.
Thank you God for Your grace
Gracious Lord, As born again believers, You call us to examine ourselves. And right now I confess there are things and ways that I have not honored You. In my family, on my job, with my friends, in all my roles and responsibilities I want to honor You, God. I know there are specific behaviorsContinue reading “Thank you God for Your grace”
