Proverbs 2:11 “Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." We all know that a split second decision can lead to lasting consequences. That’s why it’s so important to have discretion.

June 20th – Daniel 9:9
Daniel 9:9 “To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him” Everyday even the mightiest Christian rebels against God. Yet everyday, when we confess and repent of our wickedness, the Lord offers His forgiveness. And I’m so thankful He does. But why does God do it? First and foremost,… Continue reading June 20th – Daniel 9:9
June 18th – Matthew 18:27
Matthew 18:27 “The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.” As flawed beings we have an inability to grasp the depths of God’s unconditional love. That’s why His forgiveness is a profound and merciful gift that transcends all human understanding. It’s a perfect expression of love, compassion, and grace.… Continue reading June 18th – Matthew 18:27
May 6th – Isaiah 43:19
Isaiah 43:19 I love the quote by Joyce Meyer which says, “I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I’m not where I used to be.” Everyone has a past.

May 5th – Philippians 3:13
Philippians 3:13 We can be our own worst enemies. Always replaying past mistakes in our head, never forgiving ourselves, and feeling too worthless for God.

And more times than not, these choices lead to mistakes which in turn lead to unpleasant consequences. That’s… Continue reading April 14th – Proverbs 19:2
January 30th – Psalm 81:13
Psalm 81:13 We all know the truth that hindsight is 20/20. Because there isn’t a single person who hasn’t looked back at past mistakes and uttered the words, “If only”. Regret is a powerful emotion. One that keeps us in bondage and stuck in the past. That’s why our Heavenly Father cries out, “Oh that… Continue reading January 30th – Psalm 81:13
August 12th – Hebrews 8:12
Hebrews 8:12 Are you your own worst critic? Eager to speak a kind word to another, saving the harshest words in speaking to yourself? Can you forgive the mistakes of others, yet yours is on a movie wheel that continuously plays in your head? God says that when we both confess and repent of our… Continue reading August 12th – Hebrews 8:12
June 26th – Psalm 103:8
Psalm 103:8 Does your heart ever grow heavy from bearing the weight of your mistakes? The truth is, we all fall short and need forgiveness daily. Fortunately, God’s grace comes in an abundant supply. The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to anger, and filled with unfailing love. He does not accuse, nor remain angry… Continue reading June 26th – Psalm 103:8
