An eclipse is an occasion when the light of the sun is blocked from view; when it hides behind the moon so that its glow is obscured for a time, where those who have grown accustomed to its radiance shining about them go through a brief period of dimmed light because their view of its presence has been inhibited. Though the sun is…
There is a pile of rubble that exists in each man’s life, made from the burden of sins that have accumulated over time; of worries over past deeds that need to be addressed. Yet, because so many of these issues appear to him unresolvable, the anxiety over his troubles never really subsides. So as his life moves forward and because he hasn’t permanently dealt with any of his cares, when a new concern comes along that isn’t an easy fix, it too gets thrown atop this ‘troublesome’ heap.

There are many of My children that are searching for a word from Me, who are longing to hear My voice utter words their direction, but few will put in the time it takes to enter into My presence.

A clay pot is shaped and refined by the Potter’s hand, set upon the wheel He spins. His movements gently guiding the clay into the formation He thinks best suits this container, for each is created with a particular use in mind, the design He had imagined from its original inception, the point when He brought all things to be…
Transformation begins on the inside, it is the place where I start to work, as the development process I have chosen, that takes effect once a man opens his heart to Me. Then, and only then, am I able to exercise the necessary pressure to bring in everlasting change. Yet, for some of My children, when a challenge emerges, they think it is only…
Transformation Is The Goal Read More »
I have the power to transform a life! Consider the analogy of the butterfly: often it is used to draw a comparison of what a person goes through when they become one of My children.
