The Root Cause

Have you ever, as a child of God, sat back and wondered, “Why am I here again?!” or “Why am I going through this again?!” Have you ever had something that kept reoccurring in your life and not know why? You love God, you want and have a desire to do His Word and Will, and you know His Word — and yet you find yourself at the same crossroads (or similar) over and over again. We pray, we repent, we seek God’s face, we stay in His Word, and yet the same thing — or something similar — keeps popping its head up; it keeps coming back again. The problem is we often repent and truly mean it in our hearts, but we only address the symptom. We deal with the outward sins committed through the members of our bodies — our words, actions, or thoughts — without addressing the root cause that produced them. Where Is Our Faith Placed? The real problem is that we have our faith, our hope, and our trust in the wrong thing. We look to something other than where our faith should be — and that is ...

The Right Mindset - Complete Trust!

A Reflection on Daniel — Devotional Reflection: Daniel’s Kind of Faith A personal devotional on trust, prayer, and lifelong obedience Devotional · Reflection Updated: When I studied the Book of Daniel, one truth became clear to me: my so-called “holy life,” as much as a human being can be holy, wasn’t nearly as holy as I thought. When I looked at Daniel and the Hebrew boys, I realized that my life was nowhere near as consecrated or devoted. I can’t even find the “pah” in perfect! I know that I’m a sinner saved by grace. I also understand now that I cannot live this life in Christ Jesus on my own — I’ve tried, and I’ve failed miserably. I am grateful to the Holy Spirit for showing me this. It hurt my feelings a bit but still grateful that He loves me enough to show me where I have failed and need correction. “Daniel and the ...

God's Reward for Righteous Living

Good Morning: It's been some time since I've written to you last, but know that God is still on the throne and is still in the business of performing miracles. He has all the answers to your concerning questions. He is the only one that can supply our every need. Settle it today that God is your only source. Your job is not your source, your husband or wife is not your source. God is our source for everything that we will ever need or want. Not only for monetary needs, but for love and hope, for sucess (career/relationships) and for health. These are some of the rewards we receive as children of God that live righteous lives. I've said it before and I will continue to say it. Maintain your relationship with the Father. Read and study His Word; pray and talk with Him everyday. When hard times come, and they will come, you will be able to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might if you continue in the things of God. You will be able to pull the Word of God out of ...

Come As A Child

Hello: Long time no write! Motherhood certainty keeps one busy that's for sure. But I wouldn't change it for nothing of this world. It is by far the best and most important job I will ever have. I am still here, not so much everyday or week, but I promise to visit and write every month. I do want to encourage everyone to write comments or questions if you want to or have the chance. The day before yesterday my mother and I were playing with my five (5) month old daughter, Angelina, and we both recognized how trusting she was with us. Now, my mother has this beautiful hunter green marble flooring in her living room, and it does not provide padding if one should fall. But Angelina is not worried about the floor; she doesn't have a care in this world. She doesn't worry about where her next meal will come from or if she will have shelter. She expects when she cries (that's how she communicates) that her need (whether hunger, diaper change or affection) will be ...

Come Back To Your First Love: The Cross of Christ

We are all part of the human race. Every man, woman, and child on the Earth belongs to it. For those who believe—those who seek to be Christlike —our belief is in God. And the one thing that connects us to Him, the one thing that made reconciliation, restoration, and reunion with God possible, is the Cross of Christ . We believe that Jesus died on the Cross for our sins. Through that act, we became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus —through Jesus and what He accomplished on the Cross of Calvary. In believing and accepting what was done for us there, something profound took place: we were clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Himself. Now, when God looks at us, He does not see our sin; He sees the righteousness of the perfect Lamb who was slain, blotting out every transgression. I know I may sound like a broken record, but this is where it all happened for us . This is it. The Cross of Christ is where our focus must remain. It is where our faith must be anchored. A...

Sons and Daughters

I was up late the other night; I couldn’t sleep. So I just began to thank the Lord and told Him how much I appreciate Him – you know just loved on Him. I began to listen, and I heard that we are all children of God. We were all made/birth in His image, but we are not all sons and daughters of God. He showed me this in this illustration: A billionaire father has twelve (12) children, but only four (4) were mature enough to run the family business and would truly enjoy the benefits of the inheritance the father had for the children. These four (4) walked, talked, studied and mimicked their father so they could continue and have the success their father had and had put in place for them to have. The other eight (8) didn’t put forth the time or the effort to truly learn of or from the father. They never really cultivate the relationship with the father. They had access to the father; they saw him in passing. They said their hellos and goodbyes so quickly; they so busy living and...
