Loving God

I can be a chronic complainer when times are hard. I can’t see anything good to come and the “what ifs” feel all-consuming.  If you struggle with this too, being thankful to God is a far better way to respond when things go wrong. It shows that you trust God and that no matter what…

Does your growth in Jesus feel stalled? Does your relationship with Jesus lack the passion that you once had when you first became a believer? If this is you, intentionally studying the Bible can begin a revival in your heart and restore that passion.  This might feel overwhelming—and you may feel like you have to…

Are you desperately in need of help, wisdom or guidance for your life? We all can feel lost in life and many of us at times wish there was a book to help us. Well there is, and it’s the Bible!  What happens when you read the Bible everyday is astonishing. Your life, mind and…

If you are crying out right now, “God, please help me,” because things are hard and you feel you can’t handle your current circumstances, God always hears this deep, desperate prayer of your heart and is thankful that you have come to him for help. God wants to help us, and desires to be our…

Helping her when she is in need; watching over her with a protective eye; daily sacrificing his time; showing patience, forgiveness and grace.  This reminds me of the heart of God for us as his beloved daughters.…

Who has your whole heart? Is it Jesus? He has committed to you completely and wants you to do the same: by striving to love him with your whole heart. He desires your whole heart because he wants you to know the depth of his love for you. He wants to fill all the longings you have,…
