SEE, HEAR, DO - DAILY DEVOTION 1/9

The words came tumbling out of my heart as I lay slowly waking from a deep sleep in the dark of my little room, huddled under the covers. Even barely awake, I prayed for a loved one who has been in dire need of deliverance for as long as I can remember. SEE. HEAR. DO. God, help that person to SEE, HEAR, and DO. Could the words have been my own? Or the Lord's? I don't know. I only know perhaps they were meant for all of us. If only we would all take the time, love, and care each day to SEE the...

When God Makes Me Cry - DAILY INSPIRATION 1/8

I have found myself crying more. Sometimes single tears, sometimes more. Often, I get choked up with tears. Sometimes I have wept. God makes me cry. When I preach. When I speak of His holiness.When I remember His love for me.

When I can't believe once more how His mercy never runs out for me, even me. When He moves upon my heart. When He pours writing through me, and preaching through me, as though I am nothing more than a heart and a mouth, a heart and a keyboard, a heart that is His vessel....

FAITH FICTION.........!!

What if you could find a meaningful message, strong inspiration, not to mention conviction, encouragement, and blessings in fiction? Here's some NEWS from LARA LOVE and WALK BY FAITH MINISTRY.............!!

I have wanted to write fiction for as long as I can remember, and that's saying a lot. To this day, I remember so very little of my childhood. But how can I forget how frantically I sought paper at all times it seemed, in all sorts of places, with a desperate need to write. And write. I did...

Stop Saying I LOVE YOU - BIBLE TAKEOUT 1/4

A wise woman told me recently she grew weary hearing church folks say I LOVE YOU to one another when their actions spoke entirely otherwise. She expressed she was just as tired watching people outside the church walls fall short of loving the way God calls us to love. She pointed out the words I LOVE YOU really fall short of how God calls us to love. Here is just some of what the Bible has to say about the way God calls us to love. Whether or not you continue to say I LOVE YOU, you may want t...

Satan Is Attacking Me - DAILY INSPIRATION 1/3/2014

Pray for me. Pray for me. Pray for me. I used to say it all the time. I'm under attack. I'm under attack. I'm under attack. I told just about anyone who would listen how Satan was attacking me. Then I begged them to pray. I rarely, if ever, had any victory. Sometimes I hung onto the scripture people like to toss around that "the battle is the Lord's (1 Sam. 17:47)." Perfect. I could go on vacation while everyone prayed for me and God fought the battle. Little did I understand why I had so lit...

Jesus Comes to Dinner - DAILY INSPIRATION 1/2

The food is perfect. Of course. You spent days cooking. You spent a fortune on the ingredients. You used the best recipes. The very best. You took out the china from your great-grandmother - the china you never use. You took your husband's best suit to the cleaners. You bought a brand new dress. A dinner gown, to be perfectly frank. You manicured your nails. You had your hair done twice. You didn't like the first cut. Oh, and the house. Sparkling clean is an understatement. You...

New Year, Old Ways - DAILY INSPIRATION 1/2/2014

Did you ever desperately want to do something but couldn't get anywhere no matter how much you wanted to and no matter how hard you tried? That is how I spent the first day of the new year. Desperately wanting to do something, and desperately disappointed that I did not get anywhere at all. But it was par for the course for foolishly choosing to walk in the flesh rather than in the spirit - for the umpteenth time, mind you. God and I had different plans for the day, apparently. Surprise, surp...

When People Hurt You - BIBLE TAKEOUT 12/31

One scripture. Three simple steps. Impossible without God. Who but God could give us the strength and grace to handle people hurting us the way we are called? Who but Christ would set the perfect example? Not only did Jesus Christ set the example for how to endure suffering at the hands of others, but He demonstrated how. He turned over how the atrocities of others would be handled to God the Father. 


* He didn't respond to their reviling with His own reviling. He refused to follow their...

I Am Not Like You - DAILY INSPIRATION 12/31

For the umpteenth time in my life, I couldn't help but think the thought. I'm not like you. As I finished up reading a delightfully, simple, and heart-warming little book called Orphaned Hearts by Shawna K. Williams, I felt happy, satisfied, and blessed - and, quite honestly, discouraged. Happy, satisfied, and blessed because I so enjoyed the lovely, light, and joyful read in this world filled with so much darkness. So then why discouraged? Because I made the mistake once again of comparing s...
