You are loved, and can trust that the intimacy you desire is there for you. Do you know that you are loved first, independent of what you do or accomplish? As long as we think love is earned, we will miss what we need and desire most, a love that cannot be earned, but that is freely given. Willingly renounce such thoughts and return to to your true “first loved” identity as a cherished child of God. Read more

The true test of greatness is humility. Humility is not lowering of one’s value but having a proper perspective of self. It is not a lack of confidence, but confident of God’s Spirit within, and what He can do. People who serve well know that greatness is not in them, but flows through them. They also have the ability to see the divine nature of every human being. One must go low to lift others high. Read more

Children are parents’ long term guests. They come into the space created for them, stay for a while, then leave to create their own space. Although parents speak about “our children,” their children are not their property. The greatest gift parents can give, is their love for God, each other, and lovingly guiding them towards maturity, and freedom in making their own decisions. Read more

Two or more people, in friendship, marriage, or community, can create space where strangers can enter as friends. True hospitality is a reflection of the relationship of those who host, and makes warm welcoming possible. Conflict filled environments prevent true hospitality.

Many human relationships can become clingy, oppressive, and negatively codependent. No matter how hard they try, they cannot get beyond relational constraints. God desires relationships to be in tune with Him with freedom and safety both in distance and togetherness. Godly relationships may move to and from each other, but they never lose touch. They keep praying to the One who brought them together. Read more

God does not give a spirit of fear, but of Power, Love, and a sound mind. We need to redefine failure. Fear of failure has kept many from faith, and the lessons learned in failed battles. You cannot lose in God, and fear of failure is like the boogeyman under the bed, he does not exist. God will allow you to fail to help you overcome the fear of failure. As fear goes, watch faith soar with every new step. Read more

There is a waiting as we pursuit God in serving others. Our lives pronounce a choice of life over death, and peace over uncertainty. We are the incarnate of God because of His presence within us. Will people receive the truth that we live? God patiently waits for their response as we continue to love and serve them, REGARDLESS of their response. Precisely in that waiting the intensity God’s love is revealed. Read more
