The Loving Kindness of our God
“The Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me …” Psalm 42:8 At night you can sleep in peace because you know God is already working things out for tomorrow. The Lord actually commands His loving kindness to be accomplished, so you will receive all His blessings. He commands it. He is ext ending His loving kindness towards you. This is His promise and you can rest in His promises. Look for it, His loving kindness will show up visibly. Deut.28:8 says, “the Lord shall command the blessings upon […]
Seeing and Showing the Love of God
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 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.

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. I miss abiding in Him, in His presence… resting with Him, being gentle and not SO intense about everything. The assignment was to get […]
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. John 15:7 In today’s fast-pace and hectic lifestyles we often strive to accomplish our tasks in order to feel accomplishment. Unfortunately, those busy tasks often cause us to ignore the vital importance of spending time in the presence of God. The word “abiding” means to remain continuously. Our need is to abide in His presence continuously and allow His words to remain in us continuously. Unfortunately, too often we replace abiding in His presence with […]
