When Love is Uncomfortable

Sometimes love is uncomfortable. It used to be for me. For some it is uncomfortable because they have never known it and it’s uncomfortable to find love. For others it is uncomfortable because they have known it but been hurt related to it. Regardless of the reason, there is a problem when love is uncomfortable. When we find love uncomfortable, we may refuse to receive love, we may refuse to give love, and/or we may experience receiving and/or giving love but do a poor job in doing it. Why is...

Your Greatest Cheerleader

YOUR GREATEST CHEERLEADER……We all need cheerleaders in life, don’t you think? I sure do. We need to be loved, encouraged, helped, and supported along this life’s journey, wouldn’t you agree? Especially when we’re facing big challenges, am I right? So who is your greatest cheerleader?

I used to go running to the world, scrambling around from person to person, in desperate search of someone to help me when I faced trials. And I have faced, and continue to face, many trials in my life. But...

Feeling Not Enough?

Feeling not enough? Ever feel like you’re not enough? Or like you’re not doing enough? I sure have. I sure do sometimes. Especially when it comes to feeling like I’m not doing enough. No matter the reasons we have come to feel this way, we still should address them, shouldn’t we?

Friend, NONE OF US is good enough for the Lord. We can never measure up to Him or earn our way to His love, forgiveness, and a forever relationship with Him. But this we receive when we turn from our sins, believe...

Got the Grumps?

Grump. Grump grump grumps. Ugh. Argh. Irritability. Moodiness. Anger. Crankiness. Rage. Temper. Icky feeling. Resentment. Bitterness. Bad day. Yuck day. Yuckiness. Ever feel stuck in an uncomfortable place like this? Got the grumps? I sure did one day. I have many, many times in fact. I used to find it acceptable. But the more I follow Jesus, the more I love Jesus, the more I despise feeling and acting this way. Because those feelings and attitude and thoughts when I don’t deal with them...

Warning about Spiritual Warfare

“Spiritual warfare is so vital to understand and engage in as the Lord leads us,” I wrote to a sister in Christ. “But I also think the teaching of it can be taken to extremes and even falsity,” I continued.

“I was warned years ago to stop focusing so much on the enemy,” I shared with her. “I did not heed the warning.Some years later, I came to understand our primary focus needs to be on Jesus!”

No sooner had I finished writing than I knew I had an important message to share not just with her,...

Today’s GOOD NEWS DAILY – Feb 8

Dear friend, Today please enjoyFOURnew little devotionals & a sweet photo with a powerful message! The Lord is continuing to pour TONS of writing through me so much so I am unable to keep up! That said, I would LOVE help in sending the writing to wherever the Lord desires it to go. If you’re led to help with distribution by posting on Facebook, forwarding by e-mail, have contacts with whom you feel I should get in touch, use Instagram, have experience with digital marketing and...

Christ’s Command – Love, Love, Love

Sad when doggies do naturally what we humans are commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to do and do not when we bow down to the flesh and the devil instead of humbling ourselves before Jesus and loving one another. Pictured are paralyzed Miss Mercy with disabled Gracie both hit by vehicles years ago before they came into my life & saved by the grace of God. Today, let us remember to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. It’s not about what we FEEL like doing. It’s about obeying God almighty. Let us love, let us...

When the Devil Says YOU CAN’T

If there is anything the devil has used through the years to destroy my ministry, it’s two simple words. “You can’t!” Oh, sure, he doesn’t speak in an audible voice. But he throws fiery darts at me left and right, and much of the time when it comes to my ministry work for the Lord, the devil sums up everything he has to say in just two words.

“You can’t!” Can’t what? He tells me I can’t do this, and I can’t do that. I’ll never make it doing what God told me to do. I’ll never accomplish what...
