Have you ever felt as if your life is one big dumping ground? Issues surround you so great it would take several large bulldozers to find you. You are not alone. God is with you and He promises to "never leave you nor forsake you." Have you read the story of Paul? The Lord blinded him to get his attention. Then upon acceptance it did not get any easier. He was stoned, beaten and imprisoned and that did not stop him! He even wrote from prison to glorify God. Can God use your life to bring glory to Himself? Will you allow Him? In your situation ask God, "Have I done something that I need to repent of?" If that is not the case then maybe He is trying to teach you something that you might not learn otherwise or draw a passion and a purpose...

(Isaiah 43:18-19) “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” In Joshua the Lord had commanded the Israelites to cross the Jordan to the other side and begin to possess the Promised Land but there was a river in-between. Have you ever been there? Have you ever been in a place in which you needed to get to the other side of your problems and there seemed to be no way? With God all things are possible; He is a God of the impossible. (Matthew 19:26) “Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' God will provide a way when there seems to be...

Not to judge or offend, only to share my thoughts from this side of the glass, as experience is a learning tool in life's journey. So many words are put forth in a quest for many things. Let us be reminded, the spirit of God does not separate from ones self...ones self separates from the spirit of God. One thing not spoken of in all scripture, is the act of 'free will'. A character trait that has been exploited to bring about a world of untold suffering and discord. God's wisdom is above all understanding...deception has brought about an ominous 'spiritual darkness' far and wide...but has this too not been foretold. Ones own self has the 'free will' to choose. It is said, no one can be all wrong, and no one can be all right. One can...

Lord please carry my future wife, lift her up, bring her joy. Let her live for you everyday. Whisper in her ear every day, tell her you love her, tell her I love her. Lord watch over her. Lord, be her first love. Lord make me who you need me to be, make me who you intend me to be. Prepare me for her. Prepare me, so that I can be the best husband. in Jesus name. amen. Lord, thank you.

Amos 8:11-13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. We see in this scripture God caused a famine of hearing the words of the Lord and people searched all over to hear and could not find it, and they fainted for thirst for His word. Why would God do such a thing? It is because men and women have left the sure foundation they had in the written Word of God. They run to men searching...

Look at how we limit the Lord by only remembering what we have allowed Him to do for us in the past. We think "it is ridiculous to ask God to do this." Consequently, we don't ask for what we want. If it is an impossibility, it is THE VERY THING for which we have to ask. And God will do what is absolutely impossible. You (I) have to come to the point of believing Him to be Almighty. If we only look at what He says, we will never believe. So don't limit the Lord. It SHALL be done according to your faith.

When we retire at night, let us constructively review our day. Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid? Do we owe an apology? Have we kept something to ourselves which should be discussed with another person? Were we kind and loving toward all? What could we have done better? Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time? Or were we thinking of what we could do for others, of what we could contribute into our daily life. But we must be careful not to drift into worry, remorse or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to others. After making our review we ask God's forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken. On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our...
