God is Always With You

I struggle with destructive habits. I didn’t bother to make any New Year’s resolutions, because I know what I need to do, and I’m not yet prepared to do it. Writing this blog involves revealing a lot about myself. I have not yet gotten to the point where I can plainly say some uncomfortable truths. […]

God doesn’t force us to believe in Him. Choosing not to believe in God is an option, but it’s a mistake. God gets rejected by people over and over again, every day. People say He doesn’t exist. They say He doesn’t care. People demand that God prove Himself to them. People use His name to […]

In Revelation Chapter 3, verse 20, Jesus says, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me.” [NIV Bible] God is ready to welcome you just as you are. You don’t have to […]

God is here, as He always is all year long. But during Christmas, people think about God more. Some would disagree with me. But I do know that the birth of Jesus is known throughout the world. And a lot of people are curious about God. There are countless people who are struggling. They are […]

Isaiah Chapter 41:13 was a favorite verse of a woman who was a strong Christian and had known God for many years. I was a part of a ladies’ Bible study in Michigan. She lived in Florida, and was a close friend of our study leader. Her name was Jean. She offered to pray for […]

It is only human to worry. It is understandable, and for many people, it is automatic. I am not writing this post to condemn anyone. I have a long history of worrying and pessimism, and I am still learning how to go to God with the things I would have worried about before. I do […]

In Proverbs Chapter 19, verse 11 it says: A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense. [NIV Bible] This is a Scripture that I come back to again and again. God reminds me of it repeatedly, and it has truly helped me. I don’t know if I was […]

When God looks at you, He sees the real you, the person you are on the inside. He sees your personality, your family and your history. He knows what you fear and what hurts you. He sees the wounds from your past. He knows who you love and who loves you. He knows who you are. […]

Many (possibly most?) people experience high levels of stress on a daily basis. Always having something more to do and not getting enough sleep are the norm.
