God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships

When you truly believe in Jesus, your heart changes. We still live in a world with everyone else, good people, bad people, believers, and unbelievers. I have to remind myself that God created me for a purpose. God considers me worthy.  There will be people in my life that will look down on me. I… Continue reading God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships

When You Trust In God, Even Fire Has No Power To Harm You

This morning, I was thinking about the scriptures verses in Daniel. When Daniel's friends were put in the fiery furnace, they did not know what would happen to them. They knew that they were being put to death. Who survives a fiery furnace? Their faith was steadfast and did not waiver. They answered to God,… Continue reading When You Trust In God, Even Fire Has No Power To Harm You

In Everything, Give Thanks

One of the best things we can do for ourselves is to be thankful during difficult times.

Today is Veteran's Day. I am thankful for all the men and women who have served in the military to protect our freedoms in the United States of America.

What Can Anyone Do To Me, When God Is With Me?

I have been reading the bible for a few years now, and recently I have been reading it everyday. I considered myself a Christian my whole life, but realized over the past four years, that I have so much to learn.

Turn Them From Darkness to Light

Lately, I have seen Kanye West in the news for being a Christian. The number 1 song is "Jesus is Lord". I am not up on the latest trends, but I can get behind this one.

Thankful for a Wonderful God to Praise in the Storm

I am so thankful that God is there for me each day. God is there for each of us, no matter what we are going through. Tonight, I received an email that made my face go pale.
