There is a song that sings about getting back what the devil stole; getting it all back. I could not quite understand why people would sing that song. I knew I did not want none of the material goods back that I no longer had. I knew that I did not what none of my former companions back. I knew that I did not care to have any of my former jobs back. I had released things in my past that I no longer had and I did not care to have them back. Now I see what the devil stole. The devil stole one…

Dear heavenly Father, please cleanse me from all error and renew my mind. I desire to know the truth even if it means correction and embarrassment for me. Change my heart and thoughts to be Your thoughts and heart. Give me a teachable spirit. Take my desires and dreams and give me Yours. Cleanse me from all that offends You. Create within me a clean heart, O Lord. Give me eyes to see things the way You see them and keep me from deception. Thank You for the gift of discernment so that I…

Oh the irony of this mortal situation,

being encased in this temporary flesh.

For I’m momentarily bound to this earth,

although I anticipate my heavenly journey.

At the moment of Christ’s crucifixion,

the temple curtain was torn in two by God,

ripping it from the top to its bottom,

which signified His personal invitation…

for unhindered, one-on-one interaction.

And yet I yearn to feel His presence,

knowing that my sin keeps us separated.

Struggling…

Another season of Spring is here

and again I’m one with the shiny rake.

Will this new tool survive the year,

before in my hand, it eventually breaks?

These annual attempts of mastering physics

of “leaf dynamics”, during the removal of leaves,

is usually a pleasant task of physical joy,

since my searching spirit is at rest and ease.

However, the annoyance of my insect entourage

of gnats, no-see-ums, mosquitoes and black flies

distracts me, from…

Father, You made the earth and called it good, and we now can look around and see the things that the devil has done to make it bad. Help each of us, as Christians to do our part to change this…

As believers, we have been given a lifetime to accomplish the same work Yeshua did in three and a half years - to make twelve disciples who manifest the Name of the Father (see the Glory) with the same intensity that Yeshua followed after the Father. These men got it. They, in turn, began to make disciples of a few others and the end result was that the world was revolutionized by their…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for Your abundant love and mercy that You have shown to all of us. I have needed Your mercy on many occasions. When I have called out to You, You have never failed to reach down and restore me when I have failed You, and sinned. I am grateful for Your unchanging love.
