  • "I Pray To Jesus"

    Wednesday, April 16, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Jesus is the one I pray to
    Just what can this man, Jesus, do?
    He can move mountains with a wave of His hand
    He can part the seas and lay bare the land
    He can open the gates of Hell
    He can do anything but fail
    He can forgive us of our sins
    He can make us feel whole again
    He can turn storm clouds into a sky of blue
    He can dispel the gloom when we are blue
    He can bring joy and happiness and mirth

  • I read this a few years ago and a friend just reminded me of it recently. I posted this on Fibro, chronic pain and depression support group pages but I wanted all my friends to be able to get it from my journal.

  • The Evidence of the Holy Spirit

    Thursday, May 23, 2013 | An Inspiring story

    There are too many unhappy born-again, Spirit-filled believers who don't know what it's like to remain full of the Spirit of God by acknowledging Him and pursuing His ways daily. The Holy Spirit is in them, but they don't let the evidence of it show up in their normal, day-to-day life.
    It is possible to fill a glass with water without filing it to full capacity. Likewise, when we are born again w...

  • Take God Out of the "Emergency Only" Box!

    Thursday, May 23, 2013 | An Inspiring story

    It's true that God will always help us when we come to Him. But if we want constant victory, we need to take God out of our "emergency only" box and invite Hi...

  • Removing Distractions

    Thursday, May 23, 2013 | An Inspiring story

    One of Satan's more cunning weapons is distraction. He knows if we become sidetracked by the cares of the world that, more than likely, we will begin to neglect our time with God.
    To keep us faithful and in close fellowship and communion with Him, sometimes God wants us to remove distractions that are separating us from Him, even if it hurts.
    For example, if our career or desire for money or soci...
