Just me trying to be honest with God.

On being a child of God

I remind myself that the Lord is giving even when He takes away. I believe this because my faith tells me that our Father cannot help but work anything but goodness where His children are concerned. This of course makes a priority out of knowing that I am His child. Christ in us is the hope of this glory.

“The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job “Conversations Within” ts 7/13/25



“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Don’t expect positive change from negative energy. Hate just breeds more hate.  Do I really believe that the love Jesus exemplified is what the world truly needs now. Do I believe that this love conquers all? Let me seek change in the world with love, His sweet love.

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." 1Cor.13 “Conversations Within” ts 7/12/25



I have decided to follow…

Decide and you will feel better. If you decide right, you will always feel better. Decide wrong and you may feel better only for a while. Decide then to make decisions that bring lasting joy, not just temporary comfort. For me it has become simple, choose the worldview of Jesus.

“Follow me…” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 7/11/25



“I ain't worried 'bout it right now” OneRepublic

I like that Jesus tells us not to worry. I always like it when He tells me to do something I already like doing, and I certainly like not worrying. He is teaching me the freedom that comes from telling myself, "I ain’t gonna worry about right now." Why worry about tomorrow or anything when all things are in His loving hands.

“Stop worrying about even one thing…” Phil.4 “Conversations Within” ts 7/8/25



There is always a bigger picture

There are so many stories not only in the Scriptures, but in everyday life that teach us to trust in God’s goodness even when tragedy strikes. He encourages us to not only believe in a bigger picture but that He is the one painting it, and when it is finished, all will be good.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. “Conversations Within” ts 7/7/25
