Loving God

What does it look like to love God with all our heart?  According to Jesus, the two greatest commandments are to love God and our neighbors.  What the world teaches about love is pure fantasy.  Jesus did not emphasize not to lie, steal, or cheat.  He went deep into our stone cold hearts to highlight…

Begin Expecting

Expect GOD to be faithful to His living Word. Speak truth to self to cancel all lies. “Jesus is alive in me as the Holy Spirit wakes me early between 3 am and 6 am with His peace, patience, kindness, goodness, comfort, compassion, and merciful grace.  Gladly I begin each day with God to build…

Joy does not fade according to seasons or feelings. Joy is a fruit of God’s constant Spirit. Choose to allow His joy to replace any sorrow. Decide to let this day be a holy exchange.
