How to Find Perfect Love
“Perfect love casts out all fear, for fear hath torment. And he that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:18 We are created in the image of God and designed to have intimate relationships bound in love. I guess it would be safe to say we are created with a “need” to love, and be loved. As an infant, the first time we are touched and held by our parent, our initial experience with physical love is activated. But, only for a moment. At the stage of infancy, the ability to hold-on to love has […]
Living Life to the Fullest
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. – Matthew 22:37 I have a class assignment due in the morning. I found it extremely interesting and it got me mulling over some things at a depth I haven’t had “time” to do for a while. I think I’m moving too fast these days… I miss the times when I can just slow down and breathe.

Abiding in His Presence
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

In Difficult Times, God Hears Our Weeping
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer. Psalm 6: 9 It seems that everywhere you go now people are discouraged, hurting, and afraid. The news media gives us a steady flow of painful reports that often overwhelm us with concern, and attempt to steal our hope. Unfortunately, in our cluttered and hyper-paced lifestyles we often rush through our challenges and attempt to control the outcomes ourselves. We sometimes get drawn-in to the painful reports and feel overwhelmed with the difficulties. It is important to recognize that in our times of difficulty, we have a […]
God Will Answer
“Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness…You have freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was distressed…” Psalm 4:1 Have you ever felt hemmed in, trapped and unable to move? At that moment you can call upon God, and He will answer you. He will lift you up and free you from the present bondage. He will never leave you or forsake you. The children of Israel were hemmed in and unable to move when they were in bondage in Egypt. But they cried out and called upon God, and He answered. […]
