  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: What Can I Give Him?

    Our Savior gave everything for us. What can we give Him? In Luke 10:27-28, we learn that Jesus wants us to love God with our all and love others as ourselves. This theme is found throughout all Scripture. We may not have much, but we can give God our all, our heart, by loving Him…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragment: Redeemer

    Jesus is our Redeemer. We are sinful creatures who have turned away from God. We were lost. Jesus took the punishment for us, conquering death, and living again. He bought us back. He is our Redeemer. Psalm 130 shows that David understood that he needed a Redeemer. “A Song of degrees. 1  Out of the…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: The Depth Of God

    This Scripture “struck” me this morning as I spent time with God. He is an amazing God. When we know Him, we see that it is worth it to give our lives to Him for a living sacrifice and live for Him. What a faithful God! Romans 11:33-12:21 33 O the depth of the riches both…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Reflecting on Jesus

    As I read my Bible Study Adoration at the Manger this morning, it directed me to Colossians 1:12-20. My heart was blessed and lifted as I read who Jesus is. I had to stop and just reflect on Him for a bit. He is more than the babe in a manger. Look at what it…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Hope

    We have hope in God. Hope. It is something that is needed, especially through the holidays and winter months. My church life group has been going through Romans. I came across these verses again today. God is God of hope! Romans 15:8-13 “8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Jesus Knows

    Christmas means we celebrate Jesus’ coming to earth. Do you realize that this means he understands what we go through? Jesus was tempted just as we are, but did not sin. He is truly our great example! He knows what we are going through and came to make a way for us to come boldly…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Jesus Loves You

    What a beautiful Christmas song “Jesus Loves Me” is. What? “Wait!”, you say. “Jesus Loves Me” is not a Christmas song. Oh, but it encapsulates the essence of Christmas. John 3:16 “16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Jesus Lifts Us Up

    Jesus. He is the reason for the season. He is the reason we can press on in every season. He is our Lord and the one who sustains us. This morning, time is short with other responsibilities, but I had to share this Psalm. It brings joy and peace as we look to the one…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Gaze on Him

    Pause. In the busy-ness of this season, pause. Take a moment to reflect on our God, to gaze on Him. In my time with God this morning, these verses stopped me as they drew my heart and mind back to the amazing God we have. Isaiah 45:18-25 “18  For thus saith the Lord that created…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Prince of Peace

    Peace. Sometimes it can be elusive. Peace in a world torn apart by division and strife. Peace in the midst of pain and weariness. Peace. Where do we find it? In Jesus! Isaiah 9:6 “6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: And the government shall be upon his…
