Forgiveness – The Key to Freedom

“How do we forgive deep hurt? A good piece of advice I can give you is this: Immediately forgive the person who says or does something against you. Then the devil has no chance of letting a shadow remain in your heart.” — Corrie ten Boom Tante Corrie’s wisdom was born out of a lifetime of […]

LORD, CONSTRAIN WHAT NEEDS TO BE CONSTRAINED

Let go of constraints that hold you and others down. Allow fear of man to die.

An excerpt from “Not Always All Together” by Katherine Walden, available on Amazon “We have a choice. We can carry the world on our shoulders, or we can say, ‘I give up Lord; here’s my life. I give you my world, the whole world.’” ~ Bruce Larson, “Believe and Belong” My deadliest foe is the […]

Despite what you might want to believe, your unresolved pain and trauma negatively affects others. It's time to be brave and bring your past to God.

Abandoned minefields are hideous legacies strewn across formerly war-torn nations around the world. Although warring factions brokered peace treaties and cease-fires decades ago, these landmines maim or kill hundreds of innocent civilians every year.
