I Just scrolled through this weeks blog comments at http://www.melissataylor.org and it broke my heart. It seems so many feel alone, abandoned, afraid, rejected. Perhaps the number one lie many are facing right now is that they are alone. Even in a bible study of thousands…alone. The truth is in some levels we are alone. […]
Belief can be a prison. Not the kind of prison you see on TV…the kind of prison that surrounds our hearts. Our hearts are going to be surrounded by something. We can either choose to believe God’s truth and find freedom or believe the lies of the past and live in our own private lonely […]
Tonight’s worship was awesome. I came to Jesus as an empty broken vessel desperately in need of water for my thirsty soul. “We welcome you with praise, we welcome you with praise, all mighty God of love, be welcome in this place.” It just echoed through the sanctuary, hundreds of voices begging, longing, welcoming Jesus […]
“The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, […]
My heart bleeds loneliness when I am away from home. I slipped down to the hotel lobby…Bible in hand desperately needing to be with my Father. No sooner had I prayed for Him to meet me here than I opened to Esther 5. “On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood […]
I’m just going to go ahead and say it…sometimes prayers just “seem” ignored. I know they are not, but there are times it feels that way. As of late, I have been so frustrated with the “patiently wait” process that I confess at times…I have made the disastrous choice not to pray at all. So […]
I will make them and the places surrounding my hill a blessing. I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26 Rain is such a gift. After a drought of over 3 months in the Texas Panhandle, it rained last night. Sitting outside, amazed, me and my children breathed […]
“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.” Psalm 46:4-5 Dear sweet sister, Did you know that you are the holy place? Did you know that the […]
“The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” John 4: 25-26 I know the Messiah is coming. And yet I remain restless. I know that He will come to save me. I […]
I don’t just write words…I wrestle. Me and words are in a constant trifle to get on the page what I want to say. Sometimes my thoughts are clear and sometimes they are not, but all the time I want my words to reflect Jesus. Writing a book means so much more than pages on […]
