The other day, I was in a conversation with someone, which made me think. There’s something I want to share in response. So here goes: Jesus can heal the broken-hearted. Nothing is too hard for Him. He knows us. He made us. He cares about every sigh; every tear. And He is able to healContinue reading “When You Think No-One Could Heal Your Heart”

The Faith That Delights God’s Heart
Something God has been teaching me about lately is faith. I think that faith brings joy to the heart of God. Simple, childlike faith. Faith that believes God is good, trusts in Him and follows Him through Jesus, and chooses to live like He is good and run with it. I belong to Jesus. My sins areContinue reading “The Faith That Delights God’s Heart”
When You Can’t Sleep
Do you ever struggle with not being able to get to sleep? I do! A battle I go through regularly is a battle to get to sleep.

Do you ever feel a little bit of fear about going into a new year? To be honest, I do. I think one of my greatest weaknesses is fear and hesitancy.

What Does it Mean?
What does it mean? We take it so lightly; sing it so familiarly. But it’s breathtaking. Astounding. Life changing. God came down to earth as a baby. What did Charles Wesley write? Our God contracted to span. Incomprehensibly made man. He spoke the world into being. Forever, He has always been there, in an endlessContinue reading “What Does it Mean?”

A Moment of Peace in a Crazy World
Do you ever get stressed out by life in this crazy world? I sure do! I thought I’d share another poem I wrote about peace.

The Power of Hope
Recently, I’ve been reading the book of Ruth. And I have been seeing in it the theme of hope. In the book of Ruth, God shows us a contrast: two ways of responding to life’s hard knocks. Two women in deep grief, who respond differently. Naomi gives way to bitterness, whereas Ruth chooses faith. BothContinue reading “The Power of Hope”
The Problem of Pessimism
Something I’ve been thinking through lately is this: negativity, pessimism and gloom can be tools for Satan to use in my life. They can feed doubt; fear; unbelief. They can be a breeding ground for worry. They can stifle my faith, and the power of my prayers. Like worry, pessimism can feel innocent. ButContinue reading “The Problem of Pessimism”
