God's Love is Marvelous and True

I had this thought earlier this week: when you're little and you get hurt, you want to run to your parents and have them help you, comfort you, etc. Even when you're older, you still look to your parents for that comfort. It's the same way with God, He knows each of our hurts and scars, and He wants to help You because He loves you so much! His love is deeper than the ocean, and we can't really imagine how deep the ocean is. The ocean has a drop point where it's like a cliff and then all of a sudden it just drops to the vast deepness of water. That's also like God's love; it gets deeper and deeper and suddenly you're just surrounded by the love of God everywhere You turn. There's no reason to fear God or His love for you. All you need to do is accept it. This next part comes from 'How He Loves' by Kim-Walker Smith:


His presence, His love
Is so thick and tangible in this room tonight.
And there are some of you here that have not encountered the love of God.
And tonight God wants to encounter you.
And wants you to feel His love.
His amazing love.
Without it, these are just songs.
These are just words.
These are just the instruments.
Without the love of God, it's just like we're just up here just making noise.
But the love of God changes us,
And we're never the same,
We're never the same
After we encounter the love of God
We're never the same after we encounter the love of God
And right now if you haven't encountered the love of God,
And you would know,
Because you wouldn't be the same.
You would never be the same again.
And if you, if you, want to encounter the love of God right now,
You better just brace yourself because He's about to just blow in this place
And we're gonna encounter the love of God right now.
So, God I speak to all the hearts
And I ask God that every heart be open right now
Every heart be open.
Every spirit be opened up
To You God. To You.
And a love encounter
A love encounter from You tonight
A love encounter from You tonight, God.

I think about this section of the song a lot, how God's love truly should be enough in our lives. If we come to learn how to completely accept His love and all that He has in store for us, how much more would that add to our lives?

Poland: Responding to God's Call

Since getting involved with  L.I.F.E. Ministry , I've been given the opportunity to go to Kraków, Poland, with them. While I'm very excited for this trip and have been looking forward to going and seeing what God will do during our time there, I also know and am very aware of the spiritual preparation that needs to take place, even now, just about a month before I fly out. When I was first given this opportunity, I had prayed and asked God if He wanted me to go and if so, to prepare the way.  and the Lord answered. Not only did He make a way financially and with my schedule, He also prepared my heart. When I heard a “yes” from Him, I asked Him to break my heart for what breaks His, especially since we'll be ministering to war-weary refugees, as well as those who live in Poland. Knowing that there will be numerous children as well already broke my heart. They  need  to know Yeshua! They  need  hope — and it needs to be the hope that the Messiah offers. When I responded to Go

Poland: The Presence of God

Whew, it’s been a whirlwind of a week already and yesterday we visited Auschwitz, which will have its own post at some point, but I wanted to share some of the things that have been happening, both within the L.I.F.E. Ministry  and in my own life.  A couple days ago, when we were prepping with L.I.F.E. Poland  and Oasis , I was talking to a leader from the Poland team, and through that conversation, the Lord reminded me that I am to not discredit the presence of God in my life. I asked Natasha what her favorite part of ministry is, and she said it’s the people—and she’s right: the people are who we are trying to reach. Natasha was explaining that when people visit the office, they feel a good “aura,” which we both knew is the presence of God. Out that simple phrase, the Lord reminded me that  I have the presence of God within me,  wherever I go. From that renewed sense of purpose and knowing and feeling the love and presence of my King, this came to me and the Lord reminded me: Be ca

Poland: Auschwitz

Just a note of warning as you've probably gathered from the title of this post: This post is about Auschwitz and Birkenau, the horrors of the Holocaust, and has detail of what I saw and heard while there. Read at your own discretion.  Three weeks ago today, when I was in Poland, our teams had time to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, which was such a sobering and somber day, but overall, I'm thankful for the opportunity.  To walk the gravel roads the Jewish people walked and suffered on was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and seeing the camps and hearing and learning more about the Holocaust in general was important because it's getting lost in history. But, we are to remember. We are to stand for and love the Jewish nation, God's chosen ones. Seeing how they lived and hearing the horror and brutality of Auschwitz was a stark reminder of the value of life and how inhumane the entire thing was. Yet, God is faithful to His people!  What Satan tried to destroy through the hands o
