Sometimes life in this world is just tough. Sometimes things are so very, very hard and we just don’t understand what God is doing. I’m in a good season right now, but I’ve been through dark times in the past, and I know it can be so hard to trust our Father’s loving heart when weContinue reading “When it Just Doesn’t Make Sense…”

He is with you now…
He is right there with you now. Loving you. Sometimes maybe you glimpse it. Most of the time, maybe you don’t. But that doesn’t make it any less true. He wants to give you His peace. He wants to give you His joy. He wants to be your hope. He offer forgiveness for your sins, peaceContinue reading “He is with you now…”
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?”

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”
Wait for Him
God’s timing is perfect. Don’t try to rush ahead of Him. Don’t give up because you can’t see Him working. Don’t lose heart because it doesn’t make sense. He knows what He is doing, and there is a reason for the delay… and a glorious plan beyond it! “He hath made every thing beautiful inContinue reading “Wait for Him”
Spring
Don’t you just love spring? All through autumn and winter, deep down, I am yearning for spring: for the sunshine; for the birdsong; for the flowers. Deep in the heart of winter, sometimes it can feel that spring is so, so far away. You wait for weeks and weeks… and then suddenly the snowdrops are bravelyContinue reading “Spring”
