Jerriann Savelle shares that God’s love is not touchy, fretful, or resentful!

God’s Love…”It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:5‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

No More Regret!

Insecure and fragile is what I see when I look at my 17 year old self.

I had no idea what was to come—failed marriages, 6 kids, many mistakes, and lots of heartache.

(But thankfully that’s not the end of my story!)

There was a time I couldn’t look at old pictures without a sense of regret sweeping over me.

What lens are you looking through?

We all have a lens that we look at life through—that lens is developed throughout your life from your upbringing, environment and experiences.

My lens was rejection—I related everything through that lens, often feeling left out, not wanted, not good enough, ignored or abandoned! And every thought filtered through that lens—it was an exhausting way to live!

Occasionally I catch my thoughts still trying to go in that direction, but I’ve learned to filter EVERY thought through the Word and make it obedient to Christ! (Read II Corinthians 10:5)

Rather than picking up my rejection lenses, I see what the Word says first about me—and I think that thought instead!

Freedom Day!

I went to bed with this on my mind and have to get it out...I know it’s for someone!

There’s that “thing” you’ve struggled with for years or maybe even decades of your life. It’s hounded you, nagged you, and even controlled you at times. You might get some relief from it from time to time, but then it rears its ugly head again!

You’ve cried out to God in frustration and desperation and wondered “where are you in all of this?” He’s there and He’s promised a way of escape from:
