  • My 5 Reminders

    There would be instances that we’ll look back in hindsight and think, “I wish I knew that sooner.” Both in life and in faith. It is a part of life. In fact, I think sometimes I learn the same lesson multiple times. Or perhaps, I should say I am reminded of the lesson. I like…

  • Is God Mad at Me? Have I Done Something to Deserve It?

  • Slow to Anger, Great in Faithful Love

    Is God mad or angry at me?   My first thoughts were “no, that’s against God’s very nature.” Then I thought of Psalm 145:8 – The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in faithful love.  While making sure I had the correct verse, I found Psalm 103:8 – The LORD is…

  • God’s Faithfulness In Us

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
