The World Isn’t as It Should Be
“The world isn’t as it should be.” I’ve read that sentence in two Advent devotionals this year. I understand that the world is not as God originally created it, the perfect garden. I thought about saying the world is not as God intended but then I was thinking He had to know that man was …
Joy to the World
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people.” Luke 2:10 There are things in life that happen that cause us to be afraid. God gave us our fear instinct/feeling, but He does not want us to …
The Soul Felt Its Worth
Do you know your worth? Do you feel you have worth? Do you agree with God about your worth? Jesus came to bring us gifts. The gifts of life, love, peace, hope, joy, salvation, freedom, worth, and value to name a few. Do you receive His gifts? Do you accept them as your own? Or …
Thanksgiving.

LOVE.
Love is a skill you learn. Love is a thought, a feeling, an action, and a result. “Love your neighbor (the people in your life: family, friends, strangers) as yourself.” We must know love to offer love. We practice loving. To live a life of unconditional love, we must believe we are loved, know we …
Practice believing.
We all want someone else to be kind to us, to believe in us, to support us, and encourage us, and tell us we are doing a good job. To include us and make us feel good about ourselves. And that is great if we have it. But I want to ask you, are you …
Emotionally Strong.
I tried Christian counseling in 2016. I wanted answers. I wanted to know what I was doing wrong. I wanted to know what I needed to do to feel better. I quit going after a few months because I felt I was just rehashing my story and getting nowhere. The counselor said, “you have more …
