A Simple Thought on Salvation

 This little thought was placed on my heart last week & I just couldn't go without sharing it. 🩷(even though it would be perfect for a Tuesday morning) 


I have somehow turned into the thirty-something adult who loves finding reduced goodies while shopping at Kroger. (If you are able to snag one of their grilled chicken caesar salads for half price...those are so good! 😍) 


But it's fun. I think of it as like finding hidden treasure. Mom & I have found so many new things we enjoy from doing that. There's plenty of joy to be found in finding a good bargain. (Sometimes you find quite a bit...other times you won't)


And while Romans 6:23 is such a simple verse that probably most everyone can recite....the Lord gave me this thought to place with it tonight: 


The world may offer bargains that come and go, but the gift of eternal life through trusting in Jesus will forever be the greatest one of all. That gift of salvation is a treasure that is freely offered & available to anyone and everyone who will accept it.


 And the best part of all....it's a bargain that lasts forever. 🩷

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23)

Things To Remember When You Feel Like Quitting On God

Having the opportunity to serve the Lord through writing faith-based short stories and devotionals will forever be my greatest joy.  I have traveled along on the writing journey for about ten years now, yet it would be untruthful to tell you that I've never felt like quitting.  I know I have.  Have you ever felt that way? Are you in a season of distraction or discouragement?  The Lord placed this thought and those questions on my heart because I know that many others who remain faithful in serving the Lord in their own respective way are met with same opposition from Satan.  Sometimes it's difficult for you not to feel distracted and discouraged---as if the joy that you once held in your heart is somehow nowhere to be found. The good news is that while opposition will never go away on this side of Heaven, there are things to remember and tools that we can use to fight off those fiery darts and keep on keepin' on! (One of my all time favorite phrases) Today, I wa...

The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past three years have just begun to escalate; it is becoming harder to have our basic needs met. The quality of everything that we've known and loved just isn't the same anymore.  And what you're being sold is never worth the hefty price you pay. This thought has hung around in my head for some time. I read and observe a lot. I can't help but take notice of this gradual acceptance of evil. Society is being continuously groomed to make light of something that is no joke.  Hollywood paints the picture of Hell as a place that is one big party where everyone will be able to freely continue their life of sin. The presence of evil here on Earth is welcomed, encouraged, and accepted. The Bible vehemently warns against doing so.  " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put...

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...
