“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38, 39 (NKJV) Paul is writing…

When Graeson, my first-born grandson was two years old, he had spent the day at our house. After his parents took him home, my husband pointed to the wall and said, “Graeson’s handprint.” Sure enough. There on the wall, his tiny handprint waved at us. He sometimes left his mark on the curio cabinet, the…

Our former Golden Retriever, Solomon, pushed ahead to get out our backdoor first; but occasionally, I snuck out while he napped or was otherwise preoccupied. When I got out alone, you can be sure the next time Solomon went outside, he sniffed and retraced every step I had taken without him. As Solomon ran around…

What is God like? I have heard some say we cannot see Him so how can we know? Here’s how. “The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God.” Hebrews 1:3 (NLT) We know what God is like by looking at Jesus. Jesus showed God’s character and goodness by the way…

I have been called an “over-thinker” many times. Sometimes my thoughts beat me up by replaying something I wish I had not done, or obsessing over something I should have done but didn’t. Even after saying I was sorry, I would still feel terrible for days. I assumed I deserved this unease since I was…

There was a story that played on repeat in my mind. God was stuck with me. He watched me and wondered when I would once again do something wrong. It took everything within Him to refrain from flicking me off the planet with His finger. Then I learned God has a habit. Thankfully, it is…

“I, yes, I alone am he who blots away your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again.” Isaiah 43:25 (TLB) Is there any better news than this? God takes His giant blotter and blots away our sins. Today, we’re not as familiar with blotting, so maybe we can say He takes…

“You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?  Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give…

“God is in control” is something I often hear, especially when someone is experiencing a difficult situation. When things are not going well, we may assume it is God’s plan rather than considering if we might have something to do with it. Tests and trials come to all of us, yet difficulties can be a result of wrong choices…

Throughout my life I developed some incorrect beliefs about God. Some I was taught, and others I probably caught on my own. Thankfully, God’s Word has been doing some serious weeding in my mind. I was taught, “God is sovereign.” This is true, but I heard it incorrectly. I thought everything that happened was God’s…
