Many people think love, is a complex thing, easily missed and evaded. But perhaps their view is tainted by the media and perhaps even life experiences. Love, according to the media is something that happens quickly, that kiss on a first date! All of sudden you think you are in love, only to be disappointed later. But in actuality, that was not love. Love in fast forward doesn’t really work! So, we begin to think that love doesn’t really exist.  Read more…


Red, Yellow and Green

(Sharefaith App Image)We all want to go forward. Recently, I have been teaching my daughter to drive. In order for her to go forward, she had to have an understanding of the basics. While driving, there are some traffic signals we encounter; the red, yellow and green lights. We all know, red = stop, yellow= slow down and green=go. As long as we are obeying the signals we should be ok! When headed forward in God, there are some red, yellow and greens in our journey. The red light God puts in our life is for stop. Stop sinning. God wants us to stop causing trouble in our life by disobeying His word. Ps. 38:18 says, ” I will be sorry for my sin”. We need to repent of our sins and turn from our ways. I have noticed that if you choose to run a red light, it not only effects you, but those around you. When we choose to run the red lights God puts in our life, our family and those closest to us are affected.  Read more…


Winter

Winter Snow is falling! It looks so beautiful.  Many people don’t like the winter because of the cold and snow. However, right now as I look out my winwalkinwoodsdow, I see such a beautiful scene. The trees are covered in snow and it actually looks perfect. I am reminded of the scripture that says, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow.” The snow can hide so much. That mountain of trash, when covered with snow, can look beautiful. Our sins, when covered by the blood, of Jesus can look beautiful. Fresh, fallen snow, untracked and unmarked is so pristine. Our lives can be clean as well, when we let the blood of Jesus cover us completely and hide any sin that may have been in the past. I need the blood to cover me every day and wash me white as snow!
