All of us have had moments of instability mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc. This is life and it’s not easy. Jesus never promised it would be. I want to look at the life of David — a man after God’s own heart. We see his bouts of depression and anxiety, along with spiritual highs apart from the valleys. This is life. This is the reality. Even though we have Jesus we are not above suffering. In fact, we suffer with Christ and he suffers with us. We are never alone. Love people with full intentionality today because you never know how much they need to hear they are loved and treasured. I know I need to be reminded from time to time when life gets heavy.

We’ve all had ups and downs emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Join me as we talk about David a man after God’s own heart. We’ll look at how up and down he was in his walk and yet God looked at his heart of true repentance. You are never too far gone.

The honest reflection of someone who loves Jesus. Imagine if more people shared the truth without fear of condemnation and reprimand — how many people could be set free right now— today.

My thoughts on a cool East Texas night.

I hope you’ll join me with an open mind and leave all misconceptions behind as we seek to help others and love them the way Christ has loved us and called us to love others.

In 28 years I have to admit I’ve never read the Bible in its entirety. I have a feeling I’m not alone in this as a disciple of Jesus. I challenge you to dive deeper with me through this message in reading God’s word. I also challenge you to set aside a time every day just between you and God to sit and read scripture and also talk to him, and then just sit and listen. That’s right. Be quiet. And be still. Hard concept, I know.

I keep trying to live a holy life but what if I continue to fail God? Check this out here if you’re feeling this way. We all go through this but not everyone will admit it. It is possible, my friend, to live a holy life and be freed from past mistakes and trauma.

Is he blind because of his sins or his mother and father’s sins? Neither.

You are not broken beyond repair. You are loved and worthy. You are chosen and called. It’s ok to feel angry and upset and overwhelmed. It won’t always be this way.
