Love Or Fear

Do we live in love or fear? What is the opposite of love? It’s not hate. It’s fear and hate is only one by-product of fear. Scripture says that God is love and perfect love casts out fear. Fear cannot exist in True love, it must flee. In any area in our lives where we have fear, love has not conquered. Meditate on this for a while and think of all the places in your life where fear has a hold. Then think of all the areas where love abounds. Now how would you feel if all of these places of fear became places filled with love? LOVE OR FEAR… Read more

The Mask

Have you ever watched a clown and wondered what they were really like under the mask and the makeup? I wrote a song a while back called “The Clown” and it is about the masks we wear. The interesting part of the whole song is when the clown starts taking off his mask and there are more under it. He then begins to wonder what he really looks like and who he really is. THE MASK… Read more

Closing Doors

Closing Doors, you ask? That’s right. They’re the ones where you almost lose your nose. In fact, some of these doors have been open before you for a long time and you’re accustomed to walking through them. Then, all of a sudden it happens. You are walking along not paying much attention and there it is in front of you. Not only is it closed, but it is also locked. What are these? CLOSING DOORS… Read more

Be Encouraged!

Be encouraged! What a statement! But what if you’re someone who is so down that it would take a miracle to get you up? You’ve probably heard this before, but tomorrow is a brand new day. Even though what you may be going through looks like it is larger than life and you don’t see any way through, it is still only temporary. Remember the weather, the storms do pass, but it’s those moments, when you are in them that seem like an eternity. The sun is still shining in the midst of the storm, it is just blocked from our vision. The earth is still the same and when the water droplets dissipate and the wind stills to a whisper, it will be another brand new day. A day just waiting for you to start again, mold it and create into whatever masterpiece is waiting for you, just like an artist. Father created you, He cares and He knows how to help you. He wants you to have a brand new start. You are precious, even more so than all the flowers in the world or even the animals. He’ll give you a sign in the skies, maybe a rainbow to symbolize the storm is over. Maybe you’ll get a special parking place. Maybe the traffic lights will turn green. Maybe you’ll just see something funny and laugh for a minute or two and forget for a moment. Just remember, you are not alone. If you call out to Him, He will hear you. How do I know? Because I’ve been there more times than I can remember and I’m still here and it gets better. There were many times I didn’t want to go on for another day. Read more
