His Precious Gift

THE ENCOUNTER   In the Sacred Journey Part 10, Emotion and Thinker lost their purpose with Soul. Soul was no longer sensitive to their needs but was focused on fulfilling the dictates and needs of Flesh. The only remedy she proposed to Emotion and Thinker’s painful dilemmas were to read and practice the strategies that Flesh taught them. However, Flesh’s strategies did not remedy their problems, only covered them. One wet and dreary evening as the merchant was closing his…

PLEASE BE STILL, LET ME HANDLE IT   In the Sacred Journey Part 11, Soul, Emotion, Thinker, and Will were reunited with Spirit, Grace their elder brother, and uncle Truth.

JESUS OUR GREAT PHYSICIAN   One day while driving down the highway a man was experiencing chest pains. He pulled over to the first doctor he could find. When he went in to see the doctor, he said, “Doctor, I hear these loud gurgling noises and I have sharp pains in my chest.” The man asked the doctor, “Doctor, will you take a look at my chest?” The doctor looked at his chest and said, “You are right, I hear…

JESUS OUR GREAT PHYSICIAN PART 2 The Healer of Our Body   In our last blog, we focused on Jesus Our Great Physician. We understand He alone heals not only our physical hurts but our emotional hurts as well. Sometimes when He does not heal us, it may not be because of our lack of faith, it may be because He has a greater purpose in using the sickness to teach us more of ‘Who He is’ less importantly of, ‘What…

JESUS OUR HEALER Healer of Our Minds   Long ago, stood two trees in the middle of a lush green garden. The trees were green, teeming with fruit and life. One day, a little girl came to sit under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil to rest. It was a hot and humid day and she just wanted to be quiet and sit for a while. As she sat under the tree, the tree began to tell…

JESUS OUR RESCUER FROM OUR FEARS   Over 30 years I ran and hid from lizards, snakes most of my life. Today, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt I am not afraid of lizards (my test has not come for the snakes, smile). I know you have something or someone that make you afraid. My fear of lizards began in 1985 when we lived in Pensacola, Florida. One day while visiting my husband, I was finishing up…

JESUS THE COLLECTOR OF OUR GARBAGE   I remember reading a story from a book called “Be Transformed” by Scope Ministries in Oklahoma, a sister ministry and member of Network 220 of which I am a member. The story went like this:   A couple moved into a brand new community under development. They were the first to move in on their block. There were no garbage services when they moved in so they stored their garbage in the basement….

JESUS OUR AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF FAITH   I remember as a child we played a game called ‘follow the leader.’ In the game, a leader or ‘head of the line was chosen’ first, then the children all lined up behind the leader. The leader then moved around and all the children had to mimic the leader’s actions. Any players who failed to follow, do what the leader did, or disobeyed the leader were out of the game. It was such a fun game, yet, it was teaching us one…
