God’s Word: As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:9
Remember, when all else fails, His love does not.
I love to be reminded of God’s love. Getting new revelations of God’s love keeps my faith active, my eyes on Him, and joy renewed! Also helps me to remember why I do what I do. Do you need to be reminded of God’s love often?
I encourage and empower Christians through the love and grace of Christ.

Broken and Restored
I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt.
The brokeness I felt inside became so strong it was so hard to hide. When you take your hand and touch the ground you will pick up what I use to see DIRT. In times of brokeness we can begin to feel God take us as we are and mend us and mould this brokeness and make us whole. As I begin to reach into my heart and see this tiny little girl that has lived in fear emerge and beak fear from the broken heart she carried. She begins to feel welcome in the arms of God and the heart begins to open.The life that she new as shattered really began to matter. She read the word each and everyday, yet, all the promises did not stay. She took the little girl again and hid her deep inside.
The years went by so very fast and what she thought she had gained did not last. She came to the Lord once again and this time the little girl took a stand. She gave her heart and life to the Lord and now her journey really began. She felt the life inside rise with joy more than she had ever hoped for. The Lord has changed her life once again, you see Jesus Christ is the only one who can. She is saved by his Grace, Restored by his Love and this is all give with unconditional Love.
She was a convicted Felon, Prideful, addicited to drugs/alcohol and 3 years ago her back was against the wall. Her life was hanging in the hands of defeat until the Lord saw fit not to let her quit. He threw her a lifeline one she needed to grasp as in her heart she knew this is going to be the last. Her life was saved onace again and she began to call the Lord her friend. She knows today this is all she needs to walk with the Lord and be his friend. There is no place she would rather be as the Lord is the Father she always wanted to see.
