When God Seems Distant

When God Seems Distant Did you know God loves you even when you are not perfect, lost, lonely, fearful, or sad? Although sometimes we do not feel like he cares, and His lovely Holy Spirit appears miles away, please understand that God is continually there. He is waiting for us to reach out to Him for help in times of need. One thing I have learned over the years, from my own experience, is that we must always trust that he knows our situation. He is there for protection when we are fearful, provides wisdom when we need guidance, and love and companionship when we are lonely. One of my favorite scriptures reminds me of His promises: Psalms 23:1-3 (KJV) The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3  He restoreth my soul: I gain peace within myself through reading His words in the Bible. The words become alive as I read, offering me comfort and companionship as I immerse myself into i...

Lost But Not Forgotten

Lost But Not Forgotten Many years ago God put a desire into my heart to write encouraging stories which spoke of His loving-kindness so that others would want to experience His goodness. At first, I believed the dream was from Him because it glorified God and I could feel an agreement of my desires by the leading of the precious Holy Spirit. But I was too new in my walk with God to have absolute certainty that he was speaking to me. I guess now when I look back on it, since I have a popular blog, written two books, and have almost finished with writing book one of my fantasy series, I am sure it was Him. My story reminds me of the story of Joseph in the Bible; he had a dream. Genesis 37:5-8 “And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, a...

A Love Beyond Our Understanding

A Love Beyond Our Understanding While contemplating my life with God, reviewing the occasions of goodness He has showered upon me, I realized that through faith and belief in Jesus I am able to overcome any obstacle arising against me. My beliefs, health, mental well-being, prosperity--as I see it--, and the obtaining of every other good thing is up to me. I determine whether I receive it or not. John 10:10-11 (KJV) “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” Through Jesus's sacrifice, I received the greatest gift possible; praise be to God for His mercy. No longer is any sacrifice needed for my sins, and no longer do I need to feel that God is holding them against me. Jesus paid final sacrifice for me. I can approach the Father God with peace knowing that He loves me, and only wants the best for me; not as some say, that He is going to hurt and des...
