"We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ I Thessalonians 1:3 Jesus Christ loves us so much that he willingly died on a cross, taking upon himself the sins of the entire world, … Continue reading Your Love Inspires Me

His Tender Mercies
The Lord Jesus gave me this song to encourage my heart. Life, as we all know, has its ups and downs. Some days are better than others. Things don’t always go the way we would hope or desire. We get sick. We get hurt. We have communication and relationship difficulties. We make bad judgments sometimes, … Continue reading His Tender Mercies
First Things First
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." ~ Matt 6:33 I think sometimes we are guilty of getting things out of order of priority in our lives. We put things that should be last in first place and those things that should be … Continue reading First Things First
He Reached Down
I love my Lord God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is my Rock and my salvation. Jesus gave his life as a ransom for all people so that we could be forgiven our sins and could have the hope of eternal life with God in heaven. Yet, he did not die just so … Continue reading He Reached Down
My Witnesses
“…the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers” (Rev. 17:14). I know the Lord gave me the words and music for this song, so I first of all wanted to look at the phrase, “will be called,” in … Continue reading My Witnesses

They have no hope for life everlasting with God, their creator and Savior. Yet, Jesus Christ died on a cross to … Continue reading He Lifted Our Burdens
How Sweet the Sound
4/24/2011: I was sitting in a waiting room at the hospital while my husband was having his leg examined. The TV in the room was blaring. All of a sudden the Lord Jesus began to put this tune into my mind, so I verbally recorded it on my cell phone until I could get home … Continue reading How Sweet the Sound
Only In Him
As Christ’s followers, we are not to be followers of humans, but followers of God. We are not supposed to turn to human beings for help, guidance, counsel and direction in place of Jesus Christ, especially while ignoring the counsel of scripture, making humans our gods. And, we are not to form alliances (yokes; partnerships) … Continue reading Only In Him
Rest for the Weary
This song is about our eternal rest, i.e. this is about our salvation, and how it brings us into God’s eternal kingdom where we find our hope for eternal life with God. And, yet, it also speaks to our need for physical, mental and emotional rest. Jesus gives us rest when we need it. He … Continue reading Rest for the Weary
