Recently I had a conversation with a young believer who had many confused ideas about what it means to be a Christian. She was feeling terrible guilt because she thought she should be able to be perfect all the time, and she was struggling. She was afraid that she would lose God’s love, or that [...]

I have spent many years of my Christian life trying to make myself into this picture~perfect Christian I thought God and everyone else expected me to be. I was taught what was expected of me as soon as I became a believer. Teachers, leaders, and even well meaning friends led me on this path away [...]

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Psalm 119:89-94a
God’s Word is life to me. These are not words I speak lightly or out of obedience as the proper words for a daughter of the King to speak. No, I speak them as one who has known hunger, and who has known need; as one who has fallen and one who has been lost not. In these things, out of the depths of my need I can say, “God’s Word is life.” It has brought light into my darkness, and strength into my weakness. It brings hope into my broken places, and feeds my hungry soul. Truly Lord, “I will never forget your precepts for by them you have given me life.”
The Word saves. The Word strengthens, and is everything to those of us whose hearts desire to be fully His.
Lord, thank you for your Word, and for your faithfulness. You are God, and I am yours.
His alone,
Nicole
