If she is cut, I know it is painful because I have been cut, but still it is HER cut, on HER body; HER nerves transmit the pain.  My eyes "see" her wound, my ears "hear" her pain: my memory is stirred with memories of similar

What I am is plain to God (2 Cor 5:11b NIV) I can only trust my Lord for today. For tomorrow is not yet promised, And, yesterday, is a memory, but past. Today, I sense an emptiness, an unkowing, an uncertainty. Oh may I not be pulled about by doubt and fear, I must stand my ground, Trust my God, I know He's near. Flee emptiness - for greater is He who is in me than he that is in the world,

It started as I walked in the door...Why did you do this, why didn't you do that?I tried to defend, but the voice wouldn't hear,I initially shrunk back, not recognizing fear.Alone in my 'safe' room, atop of my bed,I buried my face toward the wall and I said:O' God, please help me see You in this fire;Grant me grace to rise from this mire.More important, give me strength to keep my mouth closed ,

Train my brain? How is that so?By "sync'ing" with Him,Who'll ensure it will grow.Stretching, reaching, I emerse my thoughts deep in Him...Trusting, believing and my mind begins to bend;To the conformity......of His Son. My heart and soul by Him was won,Bought by Him with His shed blood.His plan all along?Surley it was.My brain designed to glorify Him,to love others and have peace within.

The teacher said,"the brain can be trained." Hmmm, thought I, "Can this be true?" On he continued... "You see, your brain was configured by God, So we can think on Him and live life in peace and harmony. In the Garden of Eden, at the beginning of time, There was no pain, no dissension, only unity and joy divine." Train the brain still I thought? Hmmm, does this hold the key... along with

There is a song with a verse that goes like this, "He is our peace, He has broken down every wall, He is our peace, He is our peace. Cast all your cares on Him, For He cares for you...." I've always sung the song as if the walls that are being broken down refer to the troubles I face in my life. Not so.

"Nothing else but this seeing God in everything will make us loving and patient with those who annoy and trouble us. They will be to us then only the instruments for accomplishing His tender and wise purposes towards us, and we shall even find ourselves at last inwardly thanking them for the blessings they bring us. Nothing else will completely put an end to all murmuring or rebelling thoughts."

Today I feel more as a fading vine rather than a blooming flower. I like to be productive. I like to know that what I do matters. Jesus when asked if He wanted something to eat, replied "my meat is to do the work of my Father." In other words that is where He got His sustenance, doing what He was sent to do. If He was not doing the assigned task, there was no life, so what would be the point? I

On the way to work one morning I was thinking about some news I'd gotten that was very unsettling. As I drove I was talking to God about it. I was speaking out loud to God (very loud) telling Him all of the things that I wanted to say to the person who I felt "caused" the unsettling news. As I drove I recalled my morning devotion; It was about how wine comes from grapes and how grapes have to

"Oh what a happy soul am I although I cannot see. I have resolved that in this world contented I will be. How many blessings I enjoy that other people don't, to weep and sigh because I am blind, I cannot and I won't." The words above were penned by Fanny Crosby (March 24, 1820 - February 12, 1915) when she was a mere eight years old.  Fanny became blind at a very early age after a physician
