Too Hurt to Answer

“I want you to step back,” I heard the Holy Spirit speak to my heart. “You are too hurt to answer.”

I knew the Lord was right. He always is. This time around, unlike so many times in the past, I heard Him. And I knew what to do. Obey the Lord. And wait. I was so incredibly sad about something a loved one had told me. And instead of rushing to respond to the person, I needed to pour my heart out to the Lord, be still before Him, receive His love, healing, and comfort, cry out to God for wisdom an...

Don’t Miss this Blessing

Life can be tough, trials can be grueling, challenges can seem insurmountable, hurdles can seem uncrossable, tears can seem never-ending, hurt can seem ceaseless, health issues can seem endless, tribulations can seem merciless, and in the midst of it all blessings can seem non-existent. Sometimes it can feel like our trials and tribulations and this world’s woes are so overwhelming that blessings may seem available to other people but impossible for us to have and enjoy. Friend, I have some real...

God’s Beautiful Love

I was down on my knees praying briefly at what felt like the end of a particularly long day not to mention week with some unwelcome challenges when suddenly I felt strongly compelled to thank God for something very specific.

God’s beautiful love. Yes, I prayed those words. Those were the exact words that came to me. Beautiful love. I thanked God for His BEAUTIFUL LOVE. Then something dawned on me. And this is what this message is about.

I believe when we thank God which we should do on a regular...

Prayer Patrol

If I am not mistaken, police officers when they are on patrol drive around with their eyes and ears wide open for any kind of criminal activity, breaking of the law, speeding, people in need, etc., in order to enforce the law and help anyone in their jurisdiction, or assigned territory, requiring aid and assistance. I have noticed over the years while we are all called to pray to God that some seem to have a particular and very strong calling to pray. In fact, the calling is so strong it seems l...

lara’s THANKSGIVING book & journal

So blessed to be able to share with you about my miracle book I wrote about a year ago called 100 DAYS OF THANKSGIVING: a Devotional-Journal from the Heart of Lara Love.

I call it my miracle book because by God’s love and grace alone I wrote and published the book in about a 10-day period!

Please would you consider getting copies for yourself and/or others? All profits go to my Good News Ministry to help me fulfill my life’s calling.

God’s Waiting Room

I was in a waiting room for an unexpectedly long time for medical testing when I overheard the problem. A broken machine had created the backlog. Whatever the reasons, seems in America anyway so much of our time is spent waiting in waiting rooms, waiting on hold on telephone calls, waiting for people to get back to us, waiting, waiting, so much waiting.

Something so amazing and beautiful about God is His followers never have to wait for Him to be available for us. We who believe in and follow Je...

Paralyzed Dog Chases 2 Dogs!

I am not making this up. Unfortunately I do not have it on video. But believe me. This happened. I have no screen door on my sliding glass door. I wasn’t paying attention when suddenly my two SENIOR ministry dogs – PARALYZED Miss Mercy  WTIHOUT her WHEELCHAIR and Grace (Gracie) – went on a high-speed chase after two dogs whose owner had just walked them by.

Miss Mercy who was DRAGGING ON HER KNEES which she is NOT allowed to do outside where she could get hurt should have been pulled over for a ...

A Warning About Sadness

Please be careful. God gave us emotions like sadness but not so we get swallowed up by our emotions and consumed with ourselves and our feelings and become unable to move forward in life seeking and following God and His will for our lives!

I don’t believe God wants us to avoid emotions like sadness. The Bible is filled with people getting sad at times. But I don’t believe God wants us to become stuck in our sorrow whereby we never move past it, can’t fulfill His purpose for our lives, can’t enj...

The Ultimate Kindness Test

Ready for the ultimate kindness test? Here it is. To be kind to people all the time no matter what. Now it sure is easy to be kind to some people. The people who are loving, kind, good to us, polite, professional, sweet, gentle, tender, giving, generous, who share, who make sacrifices for us, who do a good job, who help and support us, who do their job well, who are plain old nice. But what about those people who are anything but? Do we have to be kind to them also? Yes! Remember the ultimate ki...

When the Devil Won’t Leave You Alone

Ever felt like the devil just won’t leave you alone? Well if you’re a totally devoted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, no wonder. The devil probably is miserable when he sees Jesus followers praising the Lord to no end, loving and serving God with all their hearts, going all out to tell the world about Jesus, living by strong faith in God, enjoying a forever intimate relationship with God, and looking forward to forever in heaven with God while the devil will spend eternity in hell and the lak...
