I just heard an instrumental version of the beautiful classic by that name, Lord. I hadn't heard the words in many years... but they came right back to me. And all I could think of was You! "Strangers in the night..." Isn't that how it always is, Lord? Whenever any one of us truly...
It was an unexpected reunion. At the timing You chose, Lord. Because You caused us to cross paths again. Literally. Right there on the street. A brother and sister-in-Christ. Forever Family. We love each other dearly. Yet... we now walk separate paths. I used to sit under his teaching. Until I began to feel... uneasy....
When is it OK, Lord, to choose the "lesser of two evils"? Does it depend on the circumstances? Or is it never really OK? What's the "right" answer? If we define our problem, can we hope to find a solution? "Evil = Profound immorality, wickedness, & depravity, especially when regarded as a supernatural force." "Immorality = Not conforming to...
She's a dear friend. More than a friend. A Forever Sister. She's seeking You, Lord, like never before. And You're speaking to her, like never before. "For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord... 'You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11,13)...
We took a road less traveled today. A natural "road" through the forest, from our house up to the ridge at the highest point of our property. What was once an open trail was now thick and overgrown. Almost impenetrable. Briar bushes up to our chests. Waste-high wild grasses. Our walking sticks became make-shift machetes. Pushing the...
What he said stunned me, Lord. "I knew without a doubt that God had put me on Earth to paint." What stunned me the most was when he said this. He was only four years old! He's much older now. Late sixties? But the Dream You had placed in his heart so long ago is...
We were sharing our hearts in Your Presence, Lord. Two of Your daughters who, by Your Amazing Grace, have been journeying together for over a year. Suddenly, a precious Truth bubbled up in my spirit: It is the Marvel, Mystery and Miracle of You, Lord. That You would give us eyes to see, ears to...
My cute stuffed lion sits on my desk here. A reminder of Aslan -- the representation of You, Lord, in the movie version of the C.S. Lewis classic, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I look at this cuddly toy and I marvel, Lord. Because You, too, are cuddly. The Lord of the Universe... cuddly? In...
I love stories like these, Lord! Stories that testify about how You go to any lengths to reach out to us in unmistakable ways! This one involves a woman whose "standard operating procedure" is to run around in the craziness at work, trying to control the uncontrollable. Even as she realizes the futility of her...
... feel You. ... find You. ... hear You. ... heed You. ... see You. ... seek You. ... touch You. ... taste You. ... reach You. ... read You. Other times, I can't... ... miss You. But You're always... ... right here. [Deep sigh.] "Surely God is my help; the Lord is the One who...
