“It Is Written”

Temptation is written into all of our days, but God’s Word is written over them all for us to overcome. “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”(Psalm 139:16) Contemplating all my days, I can become baffled. How about you? But what if we look at it differently? That in “all our days,” God has ordained His spirit to move among us and in us, to chase us down, to hold us up and to capture our hearts with the Truth. Jesus was tempted in the garden, just as we are tempted in this life. The battle is real and the weapon remains the same. We take Jesus’ lead and … Continue reading“It Is Written”

WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY I have been looking and learning, searching and stirring, all in an effort to embrace the abundant life that is offered in Christ Jesus.

Even “Now”

“Even now, says the Lord, “Turn, come to Me with your whole heart.” (Joel 2:12-13) Even now His love abounds. His mercy calls out to “come,” to “come clean,” to expose all before Him, to receive His relentless love that collides with the repentant heart and restores all things. Even now He mends every piece that is brought to Him. He binds up the broken and proclaims His lasting covenant that will never fade or fail. Now. Always. Forever. “Even now,” says the Lord, “Turn, come to Me with your whole heart; with fasting, weeping and mourning, until every barrier is removed and the broken fellowship is restored. Rip your heart to pieces in sorrow and contrition. For I am … Continue readingEven “Now”
