Matthew 5:44 and Romans 12:20,21 My Purpose: Early in my walk with the Lord, I personally had inadequate understanding on forgiveness, love and blessing others. I have learned some practical truths that helped me to practice and have victory in these areas. I hope to inspire you to incorporate them into your lives and pass them on. Theme: Jesus is teaching us to not only forgive limitless times, but to express love to those who offend us by responding with blessing in tangibl

Many of us feel as though we are walking blindfolded into quicksand as we wake daily and hope that all of the events in this past year were just a bad dream. But no. It is our reality. We don’t know what is really true or who we can trust as the information and sources seem more often unreliable. Trusting our government officials as well as media to be honest seems to be a thing of the past. I have known and trusted only one source and that is Father God, His Son Jesus Christ

I am often told that I am too hard on myself and I know I am not alone. Having been raised in a home where learning by making mistakes was not accepted, I was expected to be perfect. Even after we leave our childhood home, we continue to impose our parental judgements onto ourselves. Listen to your self-talk. Is it critical? Do we also hold others to our standards and quietly criticize them if they fail? The Bible speaks about not judging others. It wasn’t until I was in my l

Lying on my bathroom floor, desperately trying to remain conscious, I wondered if this was how my life would end. “I am only forty-five years old. Oh no! I waited too long. I should have gone for help,” I thought as I chastised myself. Fear gripped me as I lay there feeling too weak to move or even call out for help. As a nurse, I instinctively knew that I needed to keep my circulating blood flowing to my brain, so I assumed the shock position with my head low and feet up on

Desperately seeking acceptance and approval from others has been an unquenchable force throughout my life. Like dry, parched land, I longed to be watered by words of affirmation to quench my thirsty soul. And yet, never satisfied, this addiction always begged for more. Compliments lifted me only momentarily, sliding off me like melting butter on a hot skillet. I didn’t believe them. My heart ached to hear that I was beautiful, intelligent, loved, and accepted, replacing the l

Having been a Christian for 46 years now, I am amazed at how the Holy Spirit has kept me persevering and moving forward, even when I often felt like I was just treading water to keep from going under. But God. He is faithful. In recent years, scripture promises that I had read many times are being highlighted. Philippians 1:6 says “ He who began a good work in us will continue it until Christ Jesus returns.” Wow! He is committed to work in us. We just need to surrender, trus

Throughout my personal Christian journey, Holy Spirit has consistently highlighted scriptures about words, the tongue and mouth. Of course, managing my tongue by sheer willpower failed, just as the scripture says; “ But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the image of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought

Hebrews 4:6 says “ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” NKJV What an awesome gift we have in prayer! Access to commune with our God is available to us freely 24/7. Learning to pray powerfully is essential for us to live victoriously in the Kingdom of God. Our “sword of the Spirit”, the Word of God, can be used as a defensive and offensive weapon. Ephesians 6:17 and 18 states. “And take the helmet

Writing was never a passion of mine, although I love to talk. Forty years ago, I began to keep journals; just for myself. As a fairly new believer in Jesus who is following the Christian path, I wanted to record the prophetic words spoken over me, my prayers, answers to prayers and the ways in which God blessed me as well as ways He blessed others through me. These many recordings have helped me to recall my spiritual journey. Gradually, I was learning about God and that He w
