“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
It’s early morning. I’m holding my cup of coffee….already the second I’ve poured. My thoughts are darting around to things that must be done. But, I choose to be still. It is a battle. The draw to start tasks is strong, but the memory of what the stillness does for me when I choose it…..that pulls just a little harder. And then, suddenly I am pulled under. Amazingly unaware of time, I am absorbed in the text of my worn out Bible and my conversation with the God of the Universe...

Encounter God’s Heart...
Fully Embrace God
Every one of us gets to choose whom we will serve. Whether we live for our own interests or for a greater purpose is up to us—and what that greater purpose is also depends on our choices. When we fully embrace God with our lives, giving him the worship and honor he deserves, we align ourselves with his kingdom.
The kingdom of God is eternal, full of light, love, and truth. There is wisdom beyond our understanding and reso...
Francis Chan has an incredible heart for people. If you haven’t heard of him, he is a pastor but regularly goes far outside his comfort zone and gives away what he has because he is so sold out for Jesus.
He wrote this and I share his passion and heart in this:
No soul is too far gone for God to bring back. No heart is too hard for God to soften. No son or daughter is too lost for God to rescue. Keep praying for God to do what only he ...

God has shown me how to use every single thing in my life which could be perceived as negative, for positive. It has been magical, enlightening, and delightful.

Guys, this is a great opportunity.
These days men are often put down and that leads to more trouble. We need men to be what they were made to be! Women need men to be what they were created to be! Yes! We NEED you guys. I don’t care what society has said, they are wrong 😅I am right. 😀
Consider joining this group. Anonymously if you prefer! I highly recommend this. He is non-judgmental and very encouraging!

Good morning!
“Don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed.” James 1:4 (The Message)
I dared to pray this quite a few times. Lord, don’t get me out of this situation/this pain/this problem unless I have learned and You have decided I got what I went through it for! That might sound pretty crazy, but when I look at life as a long journey toward the purposes of God, then I embrace the process of pain and growth too...

A warrior is not a person that carries a gun. The biggest war you ever go through is right between your own ears. It's in your mind. We're all going through a war in our mind, and we have to callus our mind to fight that war and to win that war.

“To be loved but not known is superficial. To be known and not loved is our great fear—but to be known and loved, that transforms you.”
Timothy Keller
I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

I Hear His Whisper...
Invite me into your unbelief.
I want you to be honest with yourself about how much you trust me. If you say you trust me and then follow it up with a sigh or walk around with heaviness, it’s a good indication that you’re not trusting me. I don’t want you to feel guilty about your lack of faith, but I do need you to invite me into that fear and disbelief. I want you to walk in a higher dimension of trust. That means you must let go of control.
