Serving Behind the Scenes
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,” 1 Peter 5:6
Some people love to be in the forefront. Some people prefer to be in the background. I believe when we’re totally surrendered to Jesus and to serving Him, we are willing to go wherever He sends us. Whether we’re in a position of serving where we’re essentially on the front lines and in the trenches. Or whether we’re so far behind the scenes it may seem like nobo...

Today’s THE CROSS DEVOTIONAL
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1
Long ago I thought of killing myself by stepping in front of a New York City bus because I was so distraught and broken after seeing a man I had become involved with and purportedly fallen in love with walk down the street with his wife. Yes, you read that right. HIS WIFE. I had met him when they were separated and didn’t know back then that being involved with a married man even i...

Blessing #32
““I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me...

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.” 2 Cor. 1:3-5

Latest Little Letter from Lara
Dear friend,
Please don’t quit. I’m not just asking you. I’m begging you. If the Lord has called you to something, or to someone, and you’re clear about that, and you’ve checked to make sure it’s biblical, this calling, as the Lord only and always speaks in line with the Bible, then please hear me when I say this.
Please don’t quit. No matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it gets, no matter the challenges along the way, please put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ moment by moment and...

Latest MINISTRY UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST
“Get ready to move,” a loved one told me yesterday when he heard about an unsafe situation I faced.
I knew in my heart his words to me were from the Lord and that it wasn’t so much about safety as it was about something else. Believe it or not, in the few days before, I had already been preparing to go to my next location well before I had originally thought I was supposed to go. Instinctively, I sensed God had something in the works. Once my loved one gave me that message, I increased my res...
Today’s SERVING JESUS IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE
Privileged to Serve in the Thick of Life’s Battles………….
“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
“Even if I’m not healed I am just so blessed to be able to be a servant for the Lord,” a precious young loved one in my life shared with me.
Those were her exact words. A mighty powerful message coming from someone years younger than me who has already gone through several life-threatening illnesses and is currently in the thick of her...
Today’s THE CROSS DEVOTIONAL
SLEEPING WITH THE LIGHT ON………..
“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”” John 8:12………..
I have tears in my eyes as I write this. I am going to be totally transparent with you. I am going to tell you something I prefer to tell nobody at all. Something I thought I would tell only a couple of friends solely for prayer and support. Why I am telling you this? Because I want you to hear the mes...
Today’s 365 BLESSINGS
Blessing #31……….
“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” John 6:37
We are all sinners in need of Jesus for He is the only one who can save us for eternity. For He died for us and was raised from the dead to atone for our sins and to conquer death, hell, and the lake of fire in our place. NONE OF US – NOT A SINGLE ONE OF US – deserves God’s love, forgiveness, mercy, grace, and everlasting life. But not matter how far gone we are...
