Beautiful Voice

Think of the person you love most on this earth. Among all the things you love about that person, do you love to hear his or her voice? In spending time with that person, do you love not only to speak but also to hear your loved one speak? Not only to hear your loved one speak to others but most especially to speak one on one intimately and personally to you? Arent speaking and listening a vital part of your blessed relationship with that person? And isnt the same true with other people who...

Good News Daily – Wed December 9

December 9, 2020

Dear friend,

I am amazed now that my eyes are wide open to see how many times in the Bible the Lord brings to light His desire that we praise Him, worship Him, rejoice in Him, celebrate Him, sing to Him, take joy in Him, play instruments before Him as we experience and enjoy Him and live to love, honor, revere, obey, adore, serve, and glorify Him! Joy, joy, joy! Throughout the Bible, the Lord over and again shows us we are to rejoice, rejoice, and rejoice that Jesus Christ is...

Good News Daily – Dec 8

Dear friend,

Years ago, my then husband warned me to slow down given my typical high-speed lifestyle. I didnt listen. The Lord came up with a wonderful plan. I got pulled over by a police officer for speeding a few hours later! I didnt get a ticket. I got a warning. Suffice it to say I have been given many warnings by the Lord about my speed. Not my driving speed. Im not a high-speed driver. But I tend to get so excited about loving and serving the Lord & others that I will go and go and go...

I Failed the Test

I wish I could tell you I have never failed Gods tests over the years. Sadly, I have failed so many. But in seeking and following after God and pressing on in my relationship with Him, I have learned a wonderful lesson in all this. So long as I have pressed forward in seeking Him and His will for me, so long as I have repented along the way, so long as I have asked for and received the filling of His Holy Spirit, so long as I have followed the leading of His Holy Spirit, so long as I have...

Seeking After

When it comes to seeking after, to following, to looking for, to going after, to being resolved to go after something or someone until it or he/she or they are found, we are to seek one above all else. That one is Christ. That one is the Lord. That one is God. But just as our number one seeking after should be Jesus, this seeking should not be the end but the beginning when it comes to seeking. For we should seek the Lord, and ever more of Him, and His Spirit, and ever more of His Spirit, and...

Seeking God

How hard we have sought after the people, places, and things of this life on earth, oh how infinitely harder we should seek the Lord and His will and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33) and His lordship and reign and supremacy in our hearts and lives. With such incredible love, passion, zeal, and fervor we humans seek the fulfillment of the lusts of our flesh. We yearn, we long, we hunger, we thirst for the satisfying of self and all we want, dream of, think of, and imagine. But for those who...

Good News Daily – Monday December 7

December 7, 2020 Dear friend,

I wish you could have seen me as a little girl scrambling around for paper and pens time and again as I simply could not contain all the words I was compelled to write. I loved, loved, loved to write. Little did I know anything about the Lord, or that He had given me a gift, that I would face decades of brokenness, that He would save me from my sins and give me an everlasting relationship with Him through repentance and believing in Him and in His death and...

Good & Faithful

The Lord Jesus Christ tells us He is the true vine, God the Father is our vinedresser, and that the fruit we are called to bear to glorify God cannot be borne apart from Him! Do you deeply and dearly yearn and long in your love, passion, and zeal for the Lord to stand before Him when your life on this earth is over and hear Him call you His good and faithful servant? Oh, may it be so! Friend, did you know the GOODNESS and FAITHFULNESS you need cannot be produced apart from Jesus but are...

Unfaithful

The hurt and harm caused by unfaithfulness when a husband or wife commits adultery against his or her spouse, as gut-wrenchingly painful as it most assuredly is for the person betrayed, even still must be nothing in comparison to the hurt, harm, and pain inflicted upon God almighty by those who profess to believe in and love Him who turn their backs on Him in disobedience and rebellion and choose to satisfy their fleshly lusts at the unfathomable cost of forsaking the Lord.

Oh, how we must griev...
