Lord, If You Had Been Here…
The sisters sent word to Jesus saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” John 11:3 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was. John 11: 5-6 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed atContinue reading “Lord, If You Had Been Here…”

Holy Week
We have arrived. The most important week in all of human history. Holy week. A time to reflect on Jesus Christ, the very Lamb of God, who gave His life as a ransom for you and I.

He Notices You
As He (Jesus) passed along He noticed a man blind from his birth. John 9:1 AMPC Jesus noticed a man. A lonely beggar described as “blind from his birth,” is noticed by the Creator as He walked along the dusty roads of His world. I’m immediately struck by two points in this short verse of Scripture.Continue reading “He Notices You”

He knows what is in the darkness… When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, You knew my path. Daniel 2:22b NASB Psalm 142:3a NASB The unknown. We all fear it. We avoid situations that cause it.
