Last December,I found myself utterly overwhelmed, anxious and sad like I’ve never been before. It wasn’t circumstantial and it wasn’t for the lack of leaning onto the Lord. It was deeper than that. The sudden and shocking loss of my dear friend to suicide had left me heartbroken…. Have you ever felt that sort of… Continue reading JESUS, IS THE LIGHT OF LIFE!

"I feel like I'm in a relentless sprint against time, and time is pulling ahead. Minutes blur together, speeding by faster than my mind can comprehend and my feet can keep pace with. Yet, in this frenzied rush, the clock whispers a humbling truth: I am not the one in control." Last night's quiet time… Continue reading A HEART OF WISDOM SET IN GOD’S WAYS!

“And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your father in Heaven may forgive you for your sins” Mark - 11:25 Have you ever held a grudge? That’s a silly question, right! I think we all have at some point or another. Esau, now that’s a biblical character… Continue reading “LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU”- LUKE 6:27

I’m not sure about you, but I have resented my tender heart SO many times — simply because when you deeply care, you have a deeper capacity for pain. But spiritual growth just isn’t about hardship, it’s about who God called us to be. It’s about learning how to not let every wind of life… Continue reading PRIDE WILL HOLD YOU HOSTAGE IF YOU LET IT!

Grief is a profound and complicated experience. An unavoidable slow process that reawakens every time we feel we are finally moving forward. The process of grief entails far more than just sadness — it often takes control and fills us with countless confusing and exasperating emotions. Yet, through it all, many people find solace in… Continue reading ANCHORED by CORNELIA MOODLEY

I’ve heard (and likely said) that God doesn’t want us just to survive but to thrive, however experience show’s me that this isn’t always true. This was a freak accident. Something I never imagined could happen to me. When I tripped and fell, I was given access into a world which I’ve only known in… Continue reading SO GRATEFUL FOR GOD’S GRACE!

Every morning I wake up bursting with my own value and importance. So every morning I must kill my pride using this prayer, adapted from biblical counselor Paul Tripp. “Lord I need your help today.

That familiar accusing voice crept in as soon as my head hit the pillow. I listened, knowing it often speaks half-truth. “You aren’t spending quite as much time or going as deep as you used to in scripture these days.” I know it’s true, but I don’t want it to be. But that part underneath… Continue reading “YOU HEM ME IN, BEHIND AND BEFORE, AND LAY YOUR HAND UPON ME!”

I have a natural bent to strive when I’m afraid that maybe God’s forgotten me — that maybe His best won’t be for me. But what if we are so focused on the wrong thing…? I believe that my discomfort meant misalignment. I resisted at first, God’s hemming in, that lessening of what I can… Continue reading HUMBLE YOURSELF TO NOTHINGNESS—GOD ALONE IS GREAT!

There’s something immense, not measurable by a mind that is caught up in resistance. I’m tempted to believe, if only I had more — more abilities, more recognition, more admiration — the scales have been tipped and I’m found wanting. Envy silently creeps in unannounced, slithering and wrapping itself around my heart until it pops… Continue reading A HEART TRANSFORMED!
