Today’s MINISTRY UPDATE & PRAYER REQUESTS
It’s Saturday and absolutely beautiful outside! But I’m inside right now. Why? Because as much as I love the sunshine and plan to go outside later to walk the dogs and spend time with Jesus walking and praying and praising and seeking the Lord, I am compelled to be inside right now laboring in love for the Lord. I can’t get enough of Him, and I can’t get enough of loving and serving Him.
Are there any prayer warriors out there? For some years now, I have prayed and sought co-laborers (volunte...
Today’s SERVING JESUS IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE
My Soul-Winning Sister
“My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation all the day,
For I do not know their limits.
I will go in the strength of the Lord God;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
O God, You have taught me from my youth;
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
Now also when I am old and grayheaded,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.” Psalm 71:15-18
Today’s THE CROSS DEVOTIONAL
“So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” Romans 8:8
Isn’t it true when we love someone to no end, that we want to express our love to that person? And to please that person in an expression of our great love for the person? Should this not be true most of all when it comes to loving Jesus?
In the Bible we find out how to please the Lord, and we also find out how not to please the Lord. The scripture above shows us God isn’t pleased when we live in the flesh. He doesn’t want us...
Today’s 365 BLESSINGS
365 BLESSINGS is a devotional book the Lord has led me to publish piece by piece even as I’m writing it rather than waiting until it’s in print to share it. Please join me & be blessed as I write my latest book…!
Blessing #27
“From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2
Wherever I am, wherever you are, when we place our trust in Jesus Christ as forever Lord, there is an answer when we feel overwhelmed. When...
Today’s DAILY INSPIRATION
The Sweet Orange Story
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17
One of the first things I noticed when I arrived in the Florida Panhandle to do my ministry work was the absence of orange trees and coconuts I had been so excited to see and partake of as I had done decades ago as a child visiting my grandmother in Florida. I was quickly told not to expect them in the state’...
Today’s LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA
Dear friend,
Do you ever feel weary? Tired? Exhausted? Even like giving up? Quitting? Whatever it is you know the Lord has called you to do no matter how big or how small? I’m here to encourage you to press on. Don’t give up. There is nothing more important in the universe than believing in and humbly lovingly faithfully following Jesus. And the Lord will give you every amount of love, mercy, strength, energy, wisdom, directions, compassion, comfort, rest, resources, absolutely everything you...

Today’s MINISTRY UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST
My friends, I am exhausted! Just about two years now on the road for Jesus, and I’m headed soon for my next three locations! Not to mention the Lord is growing this ministry particularly in the area of writing and publishing beyond measure! More and more opportunities to love and serve Him in my streets ministry work and in my writing and publishing for Him.
I’m not good at slowing down, and even when I do, my mind tends to keep on going! This, combined with not sleeping well these days, leav...
Today’s SERVING JESUS IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE
“Serve the Lord with gladness;” Psalm 100:2
One day I made the mistake once again of falling into an old temptation. I took on more than God had given me and became quickly very overwhelmed. I drove a long distance and took a great deal of time picking up an enormous amount of free bread that is the bulk of my ministry’s paralyzed dog Mr. Simeon’s special diet along with a bunch of donated food for some people in need. I ended up totally wiped out not to mention responsible for a car jam pack...
Today’s THE CROSS DEVOTIONAL
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
One of the greatest tragedies I come across on a regular basis when it comes to speaking with people who profess to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord is how many of them do not profess to have a deeply personal, deeply intimate, deeply loving, deeply rewarding, deeply ever-growing, deeply wonderful, deeply fulfilling, deeply life-changing relations...

Blessing #26
“I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;
I will trust in the shelter of Your wings…” Psalm 61:4
I looked for peace in so many places. In so many things. In so many people. In so many relationships. Sometimes I found some. Sometimes I found none. None of it was the kind...
