Insecurity and lack of self-esteem often attack us women more often than men. We too often compare ourselves with one another. Then envy, jealousy, discontentment, and feelings of guilt, shame, frustration and failure overwhelm us. We become an open target by allowing this bondage to play havoc in our mind. These thoughts do not come from our Lord and …

“Our minds are mental greenhouses where unlawful thoughts, once planted, are nurtured and watered before being transplanted into the real world of unlawful actions… These actions are savored in the mind long before they are enjoyed in reality. The thought of life, then, is our first line of defense in the battle of self-control.” Jerry …
Radiant
The definition of the word “radiant” means: Sending out the light or shining and glowing brightly. Having intense joy. Luminous, glowing, dazzling, and bright, are all synonyms for the word radiant.

Challenged By Goliaths
I have had a few Goliath’s in my life. How about you? I think it is safe to say we all have. They show up in various forms. There is the Aggressor who is hostile, intimidating and loves to threaten. The Underminer takes pride in criticism and then there is the Unresponsive person. That one is hard to …
Steadfast Trust
Psalm 52:8-9 “But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever. I will thank you forever, because you have done it. I will wait for your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly.” Have you been …
WHILE BEING “IN THE WAIT”
Isaiah40:31: “But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Are you finding yourself in what I call “being in the wait?” Nothing appears to be happening to solve your current trial …
