For if you choose self-sacrifice, giving up your lives for my glory, you will embark on a discovery of more and more of true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will lose what you try to keep. Luke 9:24 TPT For the longest time I did NOT understand this…

Fishing With Jesus

Simon Peter announced, “I’m going fishing.” John 21: 3 This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. I suppose because it’s not so much about fishing, as it is about about the recommissioning of a man who had really blown it—and I mean big time! This is a story about Peter, the guy who…

Maybe our finest hours or greatest moments are not meant to be well known, but subtle, seemingly unnoticed acts of kindness felt by the souls we touch. —William Cory Stanley What do I mean by compassionate acceptance? Well, let’s begin by examining each word first. Google says COMPASSIONATE means: feeling or showing sympathy and concern for…

Crisscrossing Grace

I kept crisscrossing God’s grace for years without recognizing it for what it was. I didn’t believe God cared. I believed in bootstrapping effort. I believed in coincidental circumstances. I believed in a world where abandonment and rejection was the rule not the exception. But a God of loving grace? I couldn’t relate to the…

“It’s not victory that makes a man. It’s his defeats.” ― Pierce Brown I see rays of brilliance in Mr. Brown’s writing. And he’s right, sometimes our life gets trashed! Unfortunately, while there are grains of truth in what he writes, there is a vast difference between standing on bedrock and standing on shifting sand.…

Dear Child of Mine ~ I see you there, All burdened down with weight and care. I see your tears as you clutch it so, Your precious dream that died… (I know.) I understand the hopes you held, The longing wish that all would meld. I know it seems “too late” to dream, As though…

Hi, I’m Molly!

I love words. And stories! Especially stories about overcoming. Stories about HOPE. I believe hope is the one thing (after Jesus) that none of us can live without! So I write. Stories that I pray will bring hope to anyone who is struggling. If that’s you? I want you to know one thing today. I…

HOPE In All Circumstances

I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me. Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry. He stooped down to lift me out of danger from the desolate pit I was in, out of the muddy mess I had fallen into. Now he’s lifted…

The Destiny of Caterpillars

I often ponder the transformation process of caterpillar to butterfly when I think of God’s purpose and destiny for our lives. The dreams we hold in our heart begin so small, don’t they? Dreams are fragile, and often earthbound in their early life. A human heart is so breakable; so easily shattered. Like the caterpillar,…

I’m here–dear child. I’ve heard your cry, And though ten-thousand suns rolled by; I’ve waited… longing for your voice, For only you, could make this choice– By now you know I never force–a life that wants me out. But ever close I stayed by you–in case you gave a shout. And call you have! And…

When I imagine what Jesus is like I think of words like compassionate and tenderness. I see Him writing in the dust before the Pharisees and the woman caught in the act of adultery. I see Him stopping on the roadside to heal a blind man that everyone else ignores, or feeding an enormous crowd…

Too late you say? For you to fly? Too many moons have now gone by… For God to take and make of you, A vessel rare of sweet perfume. Too much junk! Too many lies! Too many beds–too many ties… To past–and all it’s held you to; The things you’ve done–a toxic brew… Of evil.…

Have you ever made a commitment, and then suddenly, you are overwhelmed by second thoughts, and a severe case of cold feet? When I came to my senses and realized that my life just couldn’t work without God, I made this contract with God. I would give God 100% of my life… my whole heart.…

Inside this dark and lonely place, I’ve searched for love, and peace, and grace. I’ve chased it here; watched life go by; Swallowing every stupid lie… The enemy dropped in front of me. I thought I knew but couldn’t see… That I’d been duped and made a fool, While trailing what I thought was “cool.”…
