My Beloved Child, Before you hear Me say anything else to you, please hear this: I love you more than you could ever know. I died to free you from the penalty of sin, and that was all that mattered when Jesus came to earth that first time. I see you moping around because it’s…
You have many influences in your life, My single child. You allow information to bombard you from social media, television and radio, friends, family, coworkers, and pastors. Through your eyes, I see the billboards, bumper stickers, junk mail, election information, T-shirts, and You Tube videos which you see. I even know each word of every…
My little brother, My little sister, I know you will celebrate My resurrection next Sunday with great fervor at the fellowship of followers you do life with. I love the worship which will be invoked, the music which will be sung, and the sermons which will be preached on My behalf. I know each person…
Where are you? I know you’re here somewhere. I can hear you in the distance. You’re crying for relief from pain because you fell again. You’re hiding somewhere in the darkness, but I am determined to find you. I think I know where you are. I am hoping that you will willingly step out of…
My child, beloved and adored, with a heart shivering cold, I see you are lonely at Christmas because you are not married. I see you glance, a bit enviously, at happy couples laughing and holding hands in restaurants and walking around the mall. I hear your sighs when you see another couple get engaged. You…

To My dearest sweetheart, The one I love more than anyone in this world, The most beautiful fiancée in this life and the life to come, You’re gorgeous and breathtaking in every way. I love you. I love the way that sounds. I enjoy saying it to you. You can’t see Me smiling…
It was an ordinary night, dark and quiet and clear. The dust-covered shepherds were standing around a small fire, talking about their day. They smelled like dirty sheep. As they talked, they looked around occasionally for wolves, thieves or other predators who might try to sneak into their sheepfold and steal some lambs. The oldest…
My post today is a collection of blessings, scriptures, poems, and prayers, dedicated to all my single Christian sisters and brothers who have lost someone near and dear to them through death. Death of a loved one is that inevitable life event that no one wants to go through, but must, to stay in the…
It’s Friday night. I’m at a retreat center up in the mountains in Southern California with a bunch of single Christians.
