IAMFORGIVEN

One of the HARDEST thing to do

LISTEN. When I was growing up my dad use to say to me all the time “Have you ever listened to yourself, or do you ever think about what you say?” And of course I didn’t, I was going to speak my opinion no matter what others would say. But this really sat with me…

Is this Possibile?

You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you, because they trust you. Isaiah 26:3 This is pretty funny because this scripture has been in my email footer for a couple years now as a way to give comfort to those that do not know Jesus. It is only RECENTLY beginning to make…

An Interesting Encounter

I went into Starbucks to get into word last night but as I walked in, it was packed. There didn’t seem to be a good spot to sit down, lay out my books and read. So I went ahead and ordered my large vanilla spice latte in hopes that a seat would open up and…

Love THIS guy?

Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” You want me to do WHAT????? It was a beautiful early Saturday morning… The traffic was flowing on the 405; the smog was only half bad because of the previous rains, and the homeless people on the corner were holding signs that say…

Do you Trust Him?

Do you Trust Him? Yeah.. Yeah I trust Him. No. Do you Trust Him? Yes, I trust Him. No, Think about this Question… Do you REALLY TRUST HIM? This is a question that we answer without really thinking about, and don’t find out until our trust is challenged. In life we are faced with daily…

Are You Teachable?

A few years ago I was meeting with my mentor and having a conversation about how some of the choices I was making were leading me down a path of destruction. He started to point things out to me about how they were bad and I shouldn’t be doing them. My immediate reaction was to…

Sober Judgment

I don’t know if you guys deal with this but honestly there are times when I think I am God’s gift to the world! That anybody would be lucky to know me and be blessed to have me in their life! This is all prideful thinking on the rise and is counter to what Jesus…

Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought.

“What do you mean, It’s not about me? I am really good at what I do!!! And God gave me these talents!!!” “Yeah But you totally missed the point… God didn’t give you those talents so that you can build yourself up and look good in the eyes of others. He gave you those talents…

I am the Greatest

I don’t know about you but I really struggle with pride… I look at my life and see how much God has blessed me with and for some reason think I had something to do with it all. In reality, I had NOTHING to do with anything that I have. It is a gift from…
