    Isolation

    One of my greatest struggles for a long time—one I still wrestle with even now—has been isolation, driven by the shame of my past and the hurt I caused those closest to me. I withdrew, believing that those I love would be better off without me. But by God’s grace, that cycle is being broken...

    Hold Me Together

    “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever.

    I cannot feel love although I know I am loved by the LORD and others.

    I know the Lord loves me, and I know I am loved by others, but there seems to be a wall within me that prevents me from truly feeling and accepting that love. Deep down, I wonder if this is because I feel unworthy of it, perhaps due to some past shame or guilt I carry—things I may have brought...

    An Overwhelming Sadness

    Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness? All around you seems then to be so much pain. Sin has run amok within the walls of churches. For the gospel truth, there is so much disdain. Men in pulpits hiding sins behind the curtain, Making jokes about the sacred things of God. For a laugh, they...

    His Tender Mercies

    The Lord Jesus gave me this song to encourage my heart. Life, as we all know, has its ups and downs. Some days are better than others. Things don’t always go the way we would hope or desire. We get sick. We get hurt. We have communication and relationship difficulties. We make bad judgments...

    How Long, and Now What, O Lord?

    I'm really relating to Psalm 13 lately. He asks "How long, O LORD...How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day?" I broke up with my ex on May 13th. So it's been 3 months. I miss him, even though he didn't protect me the way he should have and let us go...

    When Teardrops Fall

    When Teardrops Fall When the teardrops fall, I do call on my Lord. He is my support as I walk through the storm. In the womb of my mother, my life He did form, All that was for me He had planned ‘fore I was born. God never promised us a life without tears, A life without misery, a life without...
