“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened i

There is nothing more secure than Christ living in our hearts. The Victor is within us! “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may stre

What is your sense of self? How we see our self impacts every aspect of our daily life. We can either be our own worst enemy or our number one advocate for blessing. For too long I struggled to like or enjoy myself. Self disgust is epidemic and cause

On a personal note: I have been reflecting on just how much mercy I receive from God every day. I mean for real; for all the things that I tend to struggle with, unfortunately, more than I want to admit publicly. Mercy is not getting what you deserve

Will those I come in contact with today catch love from me? Will my presence be communicable with love? Will my loving character e

You can't be lost without first truly belonging! Our belonging trumps any lostness we have ever experienced! As bearers of the image and likeness of God, we are always invited into the depths of His searching and finding. I desire to fully know and

“Father, what you say seems so often out of my reach.” “ Son, that’s true. It is! What I desire for you is always out of your reach. But never out of the reach of  My faith within you. That’s why I had to send My Only Begotten Son and then My Spirit

"You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You're blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him (not working to please him by self-effort). That's right--you don't go off on your own;

Can you hear God laughing? Can you see rays of sunlight as they warm your face? Can you sense affirmation and acceptance in another’s smile? Can you observe a flower growing? Can you see the notes that come from a piano being played?

Intentional Loving

An indecisive faith and a wavering hope immobilize us on our journey to fullness of life and our daily walk in the Spirit of Jesus. If we could only believe Jesus was telling the truth then this world in which we live would be an ex

"Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song." Psalm 145, (Charles Spurgeon)

“I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King! And I'll bless your name into eternity. 2 I'll bless you every day, and keep it up from now to eternity. 3 God is magnificent;

Historically, no outpouring of God has lasted very long apart from intentional Kingdom Synergy. What is ‘synergy’? I’m glad you asked. Synergy happens when two or more entities decide to join their visions for the purpose of an agreed upon outcome. T

Our youngest daughter Amy (who will be 22 next month) is one who has provided me with many stories; some ‘nurturing’ to reflect on and some not so much. This one has always been ‘nurturing’. Over the years, when down or especially tattered by life’s
