Some say some wounds never heal. I think the only wounds that never heal are the ones we refuse to stop nursing. All wounds need nursing at first, but at some point we must let them heal. We don’t heal wounds...Jesus does if we let Him. Every wound leaves a scar, but the scars purpose is to make that place stronger. Stronger, so we can help others through the same hurt because we have been there and found our way out. Love leads us out, heals the wounds, and makes us stronger. Jesus is love, and …

Both self hate and self love require a focus on “SELF.” The idea that self love is the answer to self hate is a lie. It’s a trap! A trap that leads to self destruction. The problem is....SELF....which is rooted in fear. The only solution to the trap of self is Jesus-who is love (selfless)! Fight for your life and you will lose it. Give up your life and you will find it. Matthew 10:39,”Those who try to gain their own life will lose it; but those who lose their life for my sake will gain it.” …

The world tells us to love ourself or hate ourself. Both are equally selfish. Both require a self focus. Love requires we die to ourself. Living a loving life is the best possible thing we can do for ourself, but we can’t do it for ourself or it’s no longer love. If this sounds crazy please read,”The Right Fight” How to Live a Loving Life. There was a time I would have thought I was crazy too. All I can say is please, please, please, keep digging for more truth. Nothing will set you free like th …

I know this may land me in hot water. Please consider the truth. I wonder how many moms feel empowered by having an abortion? I can tell you millions of mothers live with the regret of having one, and I wonder if any would suggest it empowered them. Only love empowers anyone, and His name is Jesus. Thank you Jesus for forgiveness and the forgiveness of my sins and everyone who repents and loves You. The most powerful women I have ever met are mothers, and the power of their love for their babies …

It is the greatest feeling ever to be loved, and the worst ever to not be loved. But loved or not loved, we still have a responsibility to love. Being loved is great, but it says nothing about us. Whether or not we love says much about us. It’s hard to keep living a loving life when we get hurt, but we must. The whole word can love us, but if we don’t love, it’s all for nothing. Or if no one loves us and we still love, then love rules our life and fruitfulness is our destiny. No one ever said lo …

It takes courage to repent, but it’s the best possible thing we can do for others if we sinned against them. It’s also the best thing to do for ourselves, because if we do not repent, it will destroy our lives. Be careful though about who you repent to. A great rule of thumb is to remember there is personal sin, private sin, and public sin. Personal sin is between ourself and God, and our repentance should be personal. We should repent to God, or to God and very trusted loved ones only. Private …

The only way one bad apple spoils the batch is if we are too afraid to deal with the bad apple. If we love the bad apple, then love will force us to challenge it to change. Making a rule to protect us from what someone did to hurt us results in us treating everyone like they will do the same. It’s a decision to sacrifice everyone else so we won’t get hurt. Fear always looks out for itself without regard for others, and in the process destroys itself. Love looks out for others without regard for …

Truly faithful people are easy to trust. Maybe no one will ever be more faithful than someone who has truly repented for being unfaithful. The question then becomes, how do we know if someone has truly repented? I would suggest to you, it’s not hard to tell. If someone has truly repented for being unfaithful, even the smallest thing that in any way, shape, or form resembles unfaithfulness will scare them to death. They will not only be faithful with the big things, they will also be faithful wit …

The only time we should have confidence in what we are doing is when we have extensive experience in what we are doing, and when we know we are in line with God’s Word. Lacking confidence is not always a bad thing. Often times, it’s a good thing. It’s an indication we need to learn more. In my own life, even in the few areas I have a lot of confidence, I have learned to play dumb. Not to fool anyone, but only so I can learn from them. Sometimes the people who know nothing about the thing you kno …

The whole idea that we should do what we feel is right or go where our emotions lead us is a lie told to destroy us. It’s a lie told so fear can use you for what it wants with no regard for what it will cost you. If I wanted to control and wreck the future of every child in the world, I would tell them to just follow their feelings at all cost. I would tell them to fight for “their” rights instead of fighting for what is right. I would tell them to find a way to justify their feelings. Please, p …
