Sharing God's heart through poetry, prose and prayer
On this page, you will find weekly devotional articles which I hope will challenge and encourage you on your journey.
Like A Child
Our confidence is correctly placed in God. He is not daunted by our requests, or our belief in him. He really can make, do or fix anything! “Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (Mark 10:15) Having...

A humble heart

Don’t reject the messenger
God can send anyone he chooses to share his truth or speak into our situation, whether or not we warm to them, and whether or not they fit our preconceived ideas! The LORD, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them through his messengers again and again…. But they...
Loaves and Fish

Worth it for one
Is your voice weak and frail, or barely there? God sees you. He knows you… He will come and sit with you, tuck you in close to his presence and join his voice with yours so that you may be heard. “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to...
When God chooses the unexpected
God doesn’t wait for the ‘religious’ to stop at the roadside. He calls the unexpected to spread grace to his children… those who don’t quite fit the mold, those whom some might even judge or look down on because of their lifestyle choices. “The King will reply, ‘Truly...
Prayer Stirrers!
Prayer carries us to the holy place, to the presence of God in the holy of holies where our vision becomes clear once more, and any cloud of doubt or fear melts away. “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet...
Seams of Gold ~ Beauty in imperfection
Are you feeling cracked and broken? Are you falling apart at the seams? Let God in. He will mend you with grace and love. He will sew you back together with seams of gold. “My power shows up best in weak people” (2 Corinthians 12:9) In Japan there is a form of art...
