Your Vision for Your Life

Your Vision for Your Life

The Lord gave me a little picture in my heart with a big message for a beautiful young friend of mine whom I dearly love. It was only after I called her to share it with her that I realized the message is one many of us need to hear, comprehend, and heed if we have not already.

In the picture, I saw my sweet friend taking her vision for her life and laying it down at the feet of Jesus and saying to Him, I love you, Lord. Whatever you want.

My friend was surrendering...

Stop Trying to Convince Yourself

Stop Trying to Convince Yourself

I called a beloved friend I missed dearly. She had been out of touch for some time. Hard for a sensitive heart like mine given how very much I love her. Nobody on the other end of the phone. Just a voice mail. I left a brief and heartfelt message. Then hung up the phone. Immediately the Holy Spirit brought conviction.

My message to her had been fleshly. All about self. Not about the Lord and His will. Not about my friend and her needs and struggles. Worst of...

Let This Go

Let This Go

The Lord spoke to my heart to get rid of a whole bunch of words I had written some time ago. I had truly believed the message was from Him. I liked the sound of it. I liked how it came together.

Until the Holy Spirit some time later made clear I was not in His will and needed to erase all...

I’ll Do Anything for You Lord BUT –

Ill Do Anything for You Lord BUT

Sometimes we tell the Lord we will do anything for Him, or we tell others we will do anything for the Lord, BUT .

The Lord calls us to forsake all for Him, but if were honest with ourselves, we are not willing to forsake all. Oh, sure, we will forsake certain things and certain people and relationships He tells us to let go. But not others. We are willing to do...

Help Me Not to Sin

Help Me Not to Sin

I dont want to go in that direction, Father, I told the Lord as I sensed I was sliding quickly down the slippery slope of sickening sin. Chaos, impatience, irritability, bad mood, temper, anxiety, and only the Lord knew what else.

I want to go the way of righteousness, I finished my short but strong cry to the Lord.

Wow, has the Lord brought me such a very long way. I used to love sin and come up with any excuse imaginable to justify it. I stomped and trampled over anything...
