I’ve been reading Psalm 139 a lot this week. If you haven’t read it in a while, or not at all, perhaps that should go on your list of things to do. The whole psalm is full of wonderful, life-giving words. Since I’ve read it several times, imagine my surprise today when God caused a… Continue reading Confidence and Strength
So really. Why would you follow in the exact footprints of someone else? They do not have YOUR unique qualities, gifts, abilities, and desires, and you don't have theirs. Should you fashion your life after what other people say? Should you let what is important to them be what guides you? Perhaps to some degree, if they are… Continue reading Write Your Own Script, My Dear
Do you know what our first priority is? To love God. Not try harder or work harder or strive to get it right to be enough for Him. Just simply love Him. It’s all He ever wants from us. Really. Just love Him. Like a little child loves a parent. They don’t work hard at… Continue reading Priority #1
I pray you know that you are deeply, unconditionally, and sacrificially loved by the One Who created you, Who knows you by name, and Who has a purpose for you. Love and hugs, Passionista Mimi
On a Wednesday night a while back, my friend and I led worship at our church. She’d picked a song I didn’t know very well, “The Goodness of God”. As we practiced before service, I was caught up in this song, with almost a vibration humming in my spirit. Don’t you just love when Holy… Continue reading The Goodness of God
You may have experienced God’s love and forgiveness, but here’s a question…Do you forgive yourself? It seems that many of us struggle with this act-of-the-heart which would release us from something we’ve done in our past and the self-guilt and shame that plagues us. Several of us discussed this unforgiveness during a Bible study I’m… Continue reading Forgive Myself?
I've been reading through Matthew 6. Today as I read verse 24, “How can you serve two masters”, I saw there was a footnote. I love The Passion Translation! The translators have taken all the original language writings, and then more, to give us a more accurate verbiage. The footnote said, “There is found after… Continue reading “Fasting” From the World?
Blowing down the corridors Of the dusty halls of past and memories Your love is cleansing, washing, Like the Swedish housekeeper Diligently ridding my heart Of the dank, dark corners and musty, ill-smelling places Opening windows, allowing clean, clear Sunshine to lighten the thoughts, Bathe my heart in sweet-smelling delight Curtains flutter as cobwebs are… Continue reading Cleansing
God gave me the best illustration!Ok, so some (most) of our backgrounds are a bit shady, or tumultuous. Definitely not made of the stuff you want to pass along to anybody! Perhaps you are thinking that you are just a nobody--no one particularly special. Yeah, yeah, so were the disciples, if you will--a bunch of… Continue reading Be Like Fireflies
