The End of the Roll

VineWords Devotions and More

Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. ~1 Thessalonians 5:18 HCSB Seeing that tiny tail at the end of the roll of toilet paper hanging there was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. At least a half dozen rolls sat a mere inches away under the sink, but the people living in my house were preoccupied with other things. We had had polite chats about being thoughtful of others by replacing the roll, … Continue reading →

Sifted as Wheat

Sifted as Wheat

VineWords Devotions and More

We may wonder where God is in all of this, but He has not abandoned us, Beloved.  He is still here.  His hand of mercy limits the shaking.  The enemy is not allowed to touch even one hair on our heads without God’s permission (see Luke 21:18).  So, if God is allowing us to be sifted, while it is unpleasant and often painful, we can rest assured that the shaking will be for our ultimate good.  We need to cling to Him and trust Him through it (see Genesis 50:20). …

Waiting for the Day

VineWords Devotions and More

As the Bride of Christ, Jesus, the Son of God, is our bridegroom. We look forward to the day we will become one with Him. But in the waiting, I can’t help but wonder if we have grown slack in our preparation. Has the intensity of our longing and fervor to see that day grown cold with the passage of time? …

Julie Souza Bradley Lilly: The Voice of Our Tears

VineWords Devotions and More

Our prayers don’t need to be eloquent, or even coherent to be understood by Him. Our groans and our tears are laced with thousands of thoughts and feelings that lose their way on the way to our lips, but they are not lost to God. In His profound mercy, He interprets every sigh, and understands the hurt behind every groan and the reason and meaning of every tear. His heart overflows with compassion. …

The Fruit of Kindness

The Fruit of Kindness

“Would you be so kind as to give us a drink of water from your well?” Someone needed the fruit of kindness.   My mother passed down a story told by her grandmother, who grew up on a farm located on a dusty, rural road. At that time, many people walked wherever they went, having no access to any type of transportation. One hot summer day, a family traveling on foot stopped by my great-grandparents’ farm for a drink of … Continue reading →

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. ~James 5:16 NIV UNEXPECTED CONFESSION Confessions from a homecoming queen are sometimes difficult.       The voice on the phone jolted my memory. Wasn’t this a girl from college asking me, a former homecoming queen, to attend a celebration for an upcoming event? Years ago, I shunned her. Rumor had … Continue reading →
