Have you ever wondered what Jesus prayed for? I think His prayers were primarily about you and me. He knew our names before we ever knew His. He knew the mornings when getting out of bed would feel impossible. He knew the nights when we would lie awake wondering if we were enough. He knew the mi

We get so many chances to start over—as many times as we need to get it right. That is one of the beautiful truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. God does not look at us after our first failure and say, “You had your chance.” He invites us to repent. To return. To begin again. Sometimes we ima

I have been rebuilt so many times. Rearranged and made brand new. There have been seasons of my life when I hardly recognized the person standing in the mirror. Life has broken things in me I thought would never break. Loss changed me. Heartache changed me. Betrayal changed me. My own mistakes chan

Fear has no place where I am amen 🙏 so true.

My beloved daughter, You are precious in My sight. The world may attempt to measure you by your appearance, age, possessions, accomplishments, or the approval of others—but I look upon your heart. I see your faith, your courage, your sacrifices, your prayers, and every quiet act of love that

I'm sure we've all seen the news reports lately... People standing in the middle of what used to be their lives, watching everything change in a matter of hours. The images coming out of different parts of the world right now, especially from the flooding, are difficult to look at. What

My beloved, you have lived too long believing that peace must wait until every problem is solved. You say, “When the storm passes, I will rest. When the answer comes, I will trust. When my burdens are lifted, I will have peace.” But I say unto you: Come to Me now. I do not promise that

Just when you think you’ve passed all the tests, endured all the storms, and finally reached a place where you can breathe again—another test finds you. You look behind you and see a road filled with lessons learned. There are mountains you never thought you could climb—but you climbed them. There

For those who are in the midst of this great battle against sadness or feeling lost, not knowing what to do, should I stay or should I go... I offer to you my hope and my reassurance that even in times of extreme sorrow and hopelessness, you are not alone. There is one who will never leave you alon

BE STILL—MY DELIVERANCE IS COMING My beloved child, look unto Me and be at peace. I have not forgotten thee, nor have I left thee to walk this road alone. Though the way ahead may still be hidden from your eyes, it has never been hidden from Mine. Be still and know that I am near. Take the ne

#emergingcreator There is something I hope you never forget.. Jesus loves YOU! ❤️ Not the version that you wish you were, think you should be, or hope to become someday... He loves you as you are... right here, right now. I think sometimes we imagine Christ standing at a distance, waitin

Sometimes we can mistakenly believe that the depth of our pain is evidence of the weakness of our faith. There are moments when the easy answers don't feel big enough for the pain. “They're in a better place” may be true, but it doesn't make you stop missing them. Knowing you'll

Testify 🌹 I love how I feel in His presence, When the noise of the world fades away, When my heart finally stops running, And I hear Him quietly say— “Come unto Me, You have carried enough. Rest here awhile. Let Me remind you that you are loved.” I love how I feel in His presence, T

I think sometimes we talk about losing people we love in ways that make grief sound easier than it really is. We say, "You'll see them again." We say, "They're in a better place." And I believe those things. I believe in Christ. I believe in the Resurrection. I believe death

We said "yes" to Heavenly Father long before we came here. He didn't force us, we wanted to come. In our pre-mortal state, we were shown His plan, and with hearts full of faith, we accepted it with joy. We knew there would be trials, tribulations, and moments that would break us to our

There are moments in life when the path ahead is uncertain, our prayers seem unanswered, and our plans do not unfold the way we hoped. Yet trusting God means believing that His wisdom is greater than our understanding. Heavenly Father sees the beginning and the end, and He lovingly guides us accord

I was talking with a good friend the other day when they said something that stopped me in my tracks... "Your story is so much more than one about a little boy who was abused." Those words settled deep in my heart, because there was a time when I believed my abuse defined me. It felt

"But children really do love Him, and that love can carry over into their other relationships in the playground of life. As a rule, even in their youngest years, children love so easily, they forgive so readily, they laugh so delightfully that even the coldest, hardest heart can melt. Faith,
