So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free. (John 8:36, AMP)
Do you know why my site is called “God is Always Faithful?” Well, it’s because I believe He truly is! And His faithfulness was never more real than on the day He sacrificed His own Son for me. God couldn’t handle not having a relationship with me. He didn’t like that sin separated me from His presence. He wanted me to experience the fullness that life could have. That’s why He sent Jesus!
I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. (John 15:5, AMP)
This last week I realized that I was running on empty. I had somehow managed to get to a place where there was nothing left but fumes. It’s my fault. I didn’t stop as often as I should have to spend time with the Lord during my trip home to be with my Dad. Yes, I had moments here and there with the Lord. But nothing like what I have when I’m home. I carve out the time. I make the effort. I don’t let a day go by without some really good time in the Word. But somehow when life gets crazy, when the storms hit, and chaos breaks forth. My time seems to escape me. I go through a day just happy to survive. Happy to have one more day!

Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. (James 1:2-4, MSG)
The following is a note I wrote while visiting Yosemite National Park a few weeks ago. I never knew what was to come or how this short little note would really minister to my heart. Read more
