Do you find yourself playing the blame game? I caught myself doing it and I hate it. When you find yourself falling short don’t blame others, own it and lay it at Christ feet. “My life is full of anxiety because of the way my mom treated me.” No its that way because you don’t…
My heart melts as I think of being held in his arms. I cry as I envision my face being caressed by his hands and being looked at by eyes that show nothing but deep forgiving love. Being hugged by my Jesus… feeling his heart as he assures me I am right where I was…
Good or God? I get asked all the time how can a good man suffer while an evil man profits? Whats good? Whats evil? In Gods sight are we not all sinners? In Gods sight do we not all fall short? Are there levels of sin? I’m a sinner in need of someone to pay…

“How do you stay so confident everyday?” As we talked I could tell she struggled with confidence in most areas of her life. Trust… true trust in the Lord will bring confidence that is unexplainable.
