Jars of Clay
“For God, who said, “Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,” is the one who has cascaded his light into us – the brilliant dawning light of the glorious knowledge of God as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ. We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that this immeasurable power will be seen as God’s, not ours” 2Cor 4:6&7 TPT I want to be a jar of clay where treasure resides within. I’m a jar of clay all right, just like God says, but I’m a broken one. Uneven, rough, unfinished. I’m READ MORE
I Will Trust You.
In all things, I will trust You. In the small things, I will trust You. In all things. You can be trusted. In the details of my day, I will trust You. In my finances, I will trust You. In my housework, I will trust You. In my creativity, I will trust You. In my body, I will trust You. In my volatile, wandering mind, I will trust You. In my treasured family, I will trust You. In my books, I will trust You. In my relationships, I will trust You. In my precious marriage, I will trust You. In READ MORE
Salt
“You are the salt of the earth.” Mat 5:13 NIV Do you feel valuable? Precious? Worthy? If not, read on and see what Jesus says about you. Typically, when we describe somebody as the “salt of the earth”, we’re saying they are genuine and trustworthy. Level-headed. Nothing phoney about them. They carry a good measure of common sense. You can count on them. These qualities are admirable, but I’d like to suggest Jesus is saying something more. Here’s a few fun facts about salt before we dive in: What is salt used for practically? It’s used to enhance the flavour READ MORE
Nobody Is Left Behind
“Nobody is left behind who wants to know Me.” This is a powerful message the Lord spoke to me recently. Can it be true that Almighty God – Yahweh – is reassuring me one more time I will not be left behind? And that you won’t be left behind. Hallelujah! In a world where so many of us are left behind because we don’t measure up. Don’t have the right look. We don’t fit in. Aren’t good enough. On and on. This is Good News then, right? Oh, my Father of Heavenly Lights, you won’t forget me. Messed up READ MORE
Do you ever think about God?
“Do you believe in God?” My mom asked me this question when I was the most distant from her (and God). “Of course, I don’t believe in God,” was my answer. And I can live just fine without Him, thank you very much. And look at me. I’m doing it. I’m working, feeding myself and living in the big city. I’m filling my empty heart with lots of great stuff – Harvey Wallbangers, new shoes, shiny jewelry, fancy wine glasses and trips to exotic places where, guess what, I can drink more alcohol. But now with the little umbrellas perched. READ MORE
You Are Mine.
I am confident there is a Scripture verse that says that I am His. The verse that the Lord God announces to the world that “You are mine!” I’ll keep searching because I know it is there. Hey wait! Do I need to search for the exact verse? My heart opened just now as I write this that the whole Bible is shouting: “You are mine!” and “I want you back!” If I don’t write anything else today but that cry from the Father’s heart – I don’t need to write anything else. Because this is the cry of The READ MORE
Is There No Balm In Gilead?
Is There No Balm In Gilead? Apparently, there is balm in Gilead. I just read up about it! Gilead was famous for its spices and medicinal herbs in ancient times. There was a special balm created by the spice merchants, herbalists and apothecaries who proclaimed healing to the body for all kinds of sicknesses and diseases. Does this sound familiar to us today? Anti-aging serums and the like? “Is there no balm in Gilead?” is a rhetorical question spoken by God through Jeremiah, a prophet in the Old Testament. Here is the full verse: Since my people are crushed, I READ MORE
Give Your Gifts Away
Give Your Gifts Away There is a short passage in the Bible about Peter’s mother-in-law which appears in three of the four Gospels – Matthew, Mark and Luke. A small story with a loving message. She lay on her bed unable to move. She was physically under attack, dizzy, nauseous, and sweating with a high fever. She lay motionless with no energy or motivation to do anything. She may have been having thoughts like this: I really should get up and help my daughter cook dinner, but this fever is sucking the life right out of me today. I wish READ MORE
Hallelujah. I Belong!
Hallelujah. I Belong! “Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus – all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts! And in love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence. For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his READ MORE
