As I am growing older each day, one thing is for sure; I will leave this earth behind and go home to live with my Father, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit forever! Just the thought of going home excites me! My Father is constantly revealing Himself to me in some wondrous ways, so I know Heaven is going to be AWESOME! One of my sweet sisters-in-Christ, who is facing the end of her mortality, asked me, “Tresca, what do you think…
“I am my Beloved’s, and my Beloved is mine, He who feeds his flock among the lilies.”Song of Solomon 6:3 (Amplified) Happy Valentine’s Day! On Monday, we celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Day of Sweethearts. Some of us have sweethearts, those who love and adore us, and others may not. I want to encourage all of you because we are the Valentines of the Eternal Lover of our Souls, the King of Heaven and Earth, Jesus Christ! When we gave our hearts to Jesus…
Surely Goodness and Mercy and Unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.Psalm 23:6 Amplified Sometimes in difficulty as children of the Most High God, we may forget just how much we are loved and how nothing comes into our lives without our Father’s permission; we live in the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of God lives within us. We also may turn…
So, from now on we regard no one from a human point of view [according to worldly standards and values]. Though we have known Christ from a human point of view, now we no longer know Him in this way. 2 Corinthians 5:16 (Amplified) I recently went to San Antonio to attend a baby shower; however, the Lord had a different plan. On the day of the baby shower, the mother-to-be was not feeling well and went to…
One day, a family went camping, and their four-year-old daughter, Joy, wandered off. After searching for 10 minutes, they found her stuck in a patch of cactus, and she could not get out. Her parents watched as the little girl squirmed, trying to figure her way out. Finally, after being scratched and poked by the prickly needles of the cactus, she cried for help. Like Joy, we try to figure out ways to get out of our difficult circumstances, forgetting…
Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? For what purpose was I created? These are the questions of a searching heart. They are the questions asked by humanity since the beginning of time. Humanity remains desperate to make sense of his world and the world around him. We look at the stars for our purpose. We look to nature for ‘the why’ of our existence, then worship IT. We attempt to satisfy these questions with external things. We…
Happy New Year! Although the calendar has changed, some of our environments have not changed. A New Year is always an exciting time to sit down with the Lord and allow Him to examine our lives to remove any hindrances that may be impeding our relationship with Him. If you are like me, I do not ever want anything or anyone to keep me from enjoying all that my Father, my Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have for…
I reflected on 2021 in my journal this morning and saw a year filled with fervent prayer, mornings and evenings filled with, “Thank You.” Our Papa and Lord Jesus were so good to us despite all the challenges we faced last year. I saw how our Papa brought some of us through sickness, loss, divorce, struggles of our children, and struggles in our lives. He saved some from destruction while taking others home to live forever with Him….
Today is a beautiful day of celebration! Even though for the past two years, we have faced challenges way beyond our ability to face alone. But thank you, Father, You have given to us Your most incredible and precious gift, YOURSELF in the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son. I am so glad You came in the form of a baby to bring ‘The Light’ into our dark world and barren souls. So, regardless of what comes our…
For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Isaiah 9:6-7 (Amplified) When I reflected on our Father’s greatest gift to us, Jesus Christ, I remembered the song, “Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel.” The entire world rejoiced when God dressed Himself in human flesh and came to live with us!…
