The Presence of His Lovingkindness

 Even though it is Sunday, I just have to share this thought because it's on my heart. 


I accepted Christ as my Savior at 12 years old. My childhood handed me some difficult cards, and experiencing trauma in those formative years is never an easy thing to move forward from. 


But with the Lord's ever present help, I have done the hard work.


The past few months have seen my relationship with the Lord grow closer than ever. My trust has deepened, & my faith has matured to another level. 


The most precious thing to realize through this new season, is to look back with a heart full of gratitude for His lovingkindness and patience through all of the shame I carried for so long.


The amount of love Jesus has for you and for me is purely indescribable. His lovingkindness is full of tenderness and compassion. 


It is not conditional and He will not throw you away when you need Him most. In fact, He wants your neediness. He wants your emptiness. He wants your fears. He wants ALL of you, so that you may know ALL about who He is. 


"Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” (Romans 9:21)


I love Him for that lovingkindness. I love Him for the peace He gives. I love Him for His loyalty. I love Him for the joy He has given me.


He will give those things to you as well. All you need to do is let Him have that needful, empty heart of yours. Don't try to fight alone when you don't have to. 


"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1 Peter 5:7)


"The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." (Jeremiah 31:3)

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
