Daily encouragement for Christians
Have you ever been in a hospital where the signs request “Quiet Please?” Is it ever quiet in a hospital? Machines are beeping in every room, carts rolling down the hall, doctors and nurses in and out continuously. The following message was written in 2018 as Father carried me over another mountain. Sitting at the […]
At 5 AM I can hear the birds in the trees but I cannot see them–it is still dark. I can’t deny their presence for their voices sing out loudly as if they will awaken the sun. The creatures of the night have settled into their holes and the night becomes day once again. There […]
Have you ever considered how beautiful and peaceful the Garden of Eden must have been before the fall of Adam and Eve? The first garden was planted by God. There were no weeds and the soil was rich, full of all the nutrients needed for proper growth. “A river went out of ‘Eden to water […]
I believe someone needs to see this today: Have you been affected by suicide? Over a decade ago the World Health Organization reported about 3,000 people take their own lives and another 60,000 may attempt–per day, and those numbers just keep climbing.

We all have had times in our lives when we needed someone to do the simple tasks of everyday life for us, beginning with our birth. Perhaps you have come full circle and you are once again the person […]
It’s said that every generation thinks the End Times will be during their lifetime. The signs are all around us. It is also a fact that your life will end and you will stand before the judgment seat, perhaps earlier than you expect. Does that make you consider how you live today or do you […]
Do you live in a climate that requires heat in the winter? If so, what method do you use to keep yourself warm? Many people have a gas or electric furnace that keeps a constant temperature throughout their home without doing anything more than setting the temperature and paying the utility bill. My furnace quit […]
“ADONAI (the Lord), God, said to the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’ The woman answered, ‘The serpent tricked me, so I ate.’” (Genesis 3:13) I wonder how many times I have been the deceived woman in the garden.
