THE BEST NEWS EVER

I shared this Video Devotional some time ago, but I am so strongly compelled this first day of the new year not only to share it but to ask people to help send it out far and wide. Would you please help me with this? I would be exceedingly thankful! This, I promise you, is truly THE BEST NEWS EVER.

How NOT to Handle Hurt

     Someone has been hurting me for DECADES. Not only is the hurt exceeding, and not only will the wounds and scars be with me until I draw my last breath, but the person in her pride has never once acknowledged her wrongdoing nor made any loving change. What she has done, and is doing, and how if I bring the subject up she twists it around and lashes out at me, has done permanent damage. But this message isn’t about what SHE has done wrong. It’s about how NOT to handle hurt.

     Recently I f...

Don’t Leave If –

Don’t leave that person, place, or thing you’re thinking of leaving if God doesn’t tell you to leave. This message is for someone reading this, I am quite sure. Maybe even many. Your flesh may be screaming to RUN, to make a quick exit, to say goodbye for now, or goodbye for good, to hit the road, to quit the job, to end a relationship, to sign those papers ending it, etc.

But DON’T LEAVE if God isn’t leading you to do so. He will give you the love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, strength, resources,...

God Caught Me

       One night God caught me starting to do something I wasn’t supposed to be doing. Now you not might think it was awful or anything, but the reality was God had made clear I needed to not go down an old pathway He had mercifully taken me off of. There I was headed right back down it when He caught me – and stopped me. And swiftly led me to repentance.

     Oh, thank God for His love and mercy, His grace and forgiveness, His kindness and patience, His ever working on His children to perfect H...

Bring Your Heart to God

      Angry? Sad? Hurt? Joyful? Happy? Scared? Worried? Doubting? Bitter? Feeling vengeful? Depressed? Anxiety attacks? Grieving? Irritated? Discouraged? Elated? Passionate? Lonely? One thing I have learned to do with emotions that has been such an exceeding blessing from God is to take all of my emotions to Him. To pour out my heart to Him. ALL of my heart. No matter my feelings. To bring them all to Him. To commune with Him. To spend time alone in His presence. To tell Him how I feel. To cast ...

A Christmas Tragedy – Crazy Man in Post Office

This is a short story I wrote some years ago with a powerful message and have been led to re-publish each holiday season with the hope the Lord will move mightily in people’s hearts as He did in my own when He gave me the story to write. I hope you might pass it along to others so they, too, will be moved by God through it. 

CRAZY MAN IN THE POST OFFICE

Crazy people always stand out from the crowd, don’t they? This one did, alright. I couldn’t help but notice him. The post office might have been...

The Woman Outside My Door

     I was having so much trouble focusing. So often do these days. I had so much work to do. But so distracted. Bouncing around from one thing to another. Couldn’t sit still. That’s when I saw the woman outside my door. At my latest hotel on the road for Jesus. Now please understand before you proceed with this message. It’s not about me and what I did. I don’t even want to tell you. But I am compelled to do so because I have an important message to share with you in so doing. Not about the wom...

The Worst Neglect Case Ever

When I was a school girl, a girl who went to my school was found locked in a closet eating her own feces due to child neglect and abuse. Decades later, I still remember the awfulness and heinousness of what that poor child had been found to be going through. Neglecting children is awful, and that particular case was one of the most extreme cases I have personally heard of. But neglect doesn’t stop with children, nor does the awfulness of neglect.

Neglecting elderly people is awful. Neglecting lo...
