A Thought for Your Wednesday: The Power of Sin

 The Lord laid a thought on my heart tonight that I felt compelled to share:


I recently wrote and published a devotional on the blog that was named "The Power of Planting a Seed" and I never once imagined the heart of it extending into today but I love this analogy SO very much. 


Everyone that knows me well knows how much I love sunflowers. I couldn't help but think about their desperate need for sunlight and water to thrive abundantly. 


Could you imagine if that sunflower never received any natural sunlight or rainwater in its lifetime?


What if it isn't even planted firmly in the right soil? The sort of foundation that will help it to grow and to thrive? 


It wouldn't have the opportunity to live as it should live and it would only lead up to eventual death and ultimate destruction. 


The same principle applies to those souls who are living lost and have never known Jesus. 


What is your foundation tonight? 

What are you watering your life with? 

Have you been following the world? 


The power of sin is often underestimated and it can quickly consume the soul without you even realizing it. 


No matter what you've done or where you've been, His grace will always be greater than your sin. (I love that song so much)


Don't be afraid of stepping out in faith tonight.

I can promise you that you will never once regret trusting in Him.


"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...
