My Love Resolution

     The Bible says a time will come in which people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, and I believe we are living in these times as countless people have their backs turned to the Lord and their hearts and lives turned to evil and live for self instead of for the Lord as we were created to do. This is wreaking havoc on this world, and I believe we are all being negatively impacted by this in one way or another. This world is clearly falling...

They Were Wrong, But…

In the process now of editing one of my books, I came across a message I wrote some time ago and published as part of my Good News Daily. I feel strongly compelled this morning to send it out again. I believe someone – or even many – need to hear this right now. I know I do! Here it is…

They Were Wrong, But…

Even as I write this, I can’t wait to get to the place I need to go this morning to apologize to some store workers for my rude, unkind, impatient, and unloving attitude and words. Maybe you...

Help Them, Don’t Hurt Them

       What if every person with whom you get upset, who irritates you, who drives you crazy, who drives you nuts, who makes you angry, whom you would give anything to turn your back on, who hurts you, who you feel is too needy and obnoxious and annoying and difficult, etc. were an awesome opportunity?

     An opportunity to love. An opportunity to forgive. An opportunity to be kind. An opportunity to give. An opportunity to be merciful. An opportunity to be humble. An opportunity to serve. An op...

Please God Help Us Not Run!

     “God, please help her not to run,” I prayed to God concerning someone I felt compelled to pray briefly for early one morning. “Except into your arms,” I added to my simple prayer. I trusted God would answer.

     I knew the woman was at high risk of running from a certain situation in which case she would be going against the will of God. She needed to remain if she were to be in obedience to the Lord.

     Why do I share this with you? Because of what I had felt strongly compelled to add...

Update & Prayer Request

So wonderfully much has been going on in my life and ministry. I am still in coastal South Carolina doing a great deal of spending time with the Lord, praying, streets / beach / hotel ministry, writing & publishing, administrative work (ugh), helping in a situation the Lord has called me to help with, editing the book I finished writing before the last book I wrote and published, and, yes, trying to get some rest! I love, love, love the Lord with all my heart, love people worldwide with the love...

Please Give God 100%

     “I don’t know why I am doing this,” I thought.

      I had a big project I had begun working on, and for all intents and purposes, it seemed pointless to do it. All projects like this one I had worked on in the past seemed to have failed. I had a zillion other things I could have been working on instead of this project. I was exhausted. I wasn’t excited about it as perhaps I would have been under different circumstances and with seeming success in the past. So why was I committed to procee...

The Question I Asked My Dog

     “Is everything worth wagging about?” I basically asked my special needs ministry dog Gracie one morning. Yes, I talk to my dogs.

    That morning there was Gracie, years ago dumped at a gas station and hit by two cars before God sent her into my life, wagging her tail for the umpteenth time over the years for seemingly nothing. Like she could find a zillion reasons in her dog’s life to be thankful and joyful about. Right down to the very, very simplest of things. To express her thanksgivin...

Why Should I Do This God?

     Why? I asked God. He had just told me to do something. I wanted to know why. I deserved to know why. Before I obeyed. I should understand. God should explain Himself to me. Right?

     Absolutely WRONG. Friend, we may never know why God tells us to do something. We may never understand. Or God may tell us. He may show us. He may reveal His reasons why. But our obedience to God should NOT be contingent on whether or not God tells us why, whether or not we understand, whether or not we like ...

Give God the Hurt!

     “I give you all the hurt,” I told the Lord early one morning. Then this message came to me. GIVE GOD THE HURT.

     I get hurt on a regular basis. Truth, people don’t treat me so well. Oh, yes, some do. But I seem to be a magnet for people who aren’t so good to me. I won’t go into details. Suffice it to say I’m sensitive to begin with, and given the state of this world and the great lack of love in it, given my love for the Lord and for telling the world about Him, given my background and ...
