There’s nothing like waiting in the Father’s presence, and just being loved. Taking time to be with Him changes everything. It’s comfort for the deepest grief. It’s peace for the wildest storm. It’s joy in the bleakest agony. Because He is so much deeper; so much sweeter; so much closer than we’ve ever imagined. ForContinue reading “He’s waiting for you”

Can you relate to these thoughts?
Sometimes I catch myself thinking things like this: ‘That’s never going to change.’ ‘That’s just too big a problem.’ ‘If God was going to answer, He would have done so by now.’ ‘It’s too late for that to ever change.’ ‘I could never pray enough about that, so I might as well not pray atContinue reading “Can you relate to these thoughts?”
No Matter What…
No matter what, Jesus is the Answer. He heals the broken-hearted. He sets the prisoner free. He brings joy where there shouldn’t be joy. He forms beauty out of ashes. He raises praise out of despair. He brings transformation: surprising, stunning transformation where you thought there was no hope. When you thought you should giveContinue reading “No Matter What…”
It was Just a Dream- or was it?
Last night, I had a dream. In the dream, I was in Syria. A country at war. It was a terrible, frightening world. Nowhere was safe. I kept having to move on. It was a world of dreadful chaos and fear. It was the stuff of nightmares. In the dream, I had some children withContinue reading “It was Just a Dream- or was it?”
Why do I always doubt?
Oh, His faithfulness! His faithfulness! How slow I am to trust Him- how quick to panic. And how wonderful He is to answer anyway. My car broke the other day. It’s a faithful little car, but it’s old and, well, I guess its days are numbered. The problem (a big one) was found the day beforeContinue reading “Why do I always doubt?”
WHO SAYS these mountains won’t move?
WHO SAYS these mountains won’t move? Sometimes the work can feel overwhelming. The problems can seem insurmountable. The weight can weigh you down. When you’re following and serving Jesus, sometimes it feels like you’re walking through treacle. Sticky, impossible treacle. And Satan’s not exactly silent, is he? “I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, andContinue reading “WHO SAYS these mountains won’t move?”
Remembering Him
So often, I just need to be reminded of the Lord: that He loves me; that He’s with me; that, because I am in Him, it really is going to be okay. Isn’t it so easy to forget Him in the busyness of life? And yet, through it all, He loves me. He wants toContinue reading “Remembering Him”
Ask!
God can do amazing things. Never underestimate Him. Never try to put Him in a box. He is far, far bigger than that. He is God. And He loves to amaze His people. God loves to answer prayer. He loves to respond to our asking- not just doing what we ask but doing far, far,Continue reading “Ask!”
So, So Loved
He loves us so, so much. If we belong to Christ then, in His Son, we are covered. He is our Father. We are His treasured possession, the apple of His eye. The slate is washed clean. We are forgiven. It just doesn’t matter what anyone says. We are His. He has the final say. And we areContinue reading “So, So Loved”
Is something troubling you?
It’s a firm favourite in my family: that old, familiar hymn: ‘What a Friend we Have in Jesus.’ And it’s true. No matter what the need; no matter the guilt; no matter the problem, there is always One you can turn to. One Who will always understand. One Who will never let you down. NoContinue reading “Is something troubling you?”
