Fall In Love

I was over the moon when my lovely friend and sister-in-Christ, Katy got engaged in August 2022. She and her new fiancé, David asked me if I would write a poem especially for their wedding day and it was my absolute pleasure to say yes! Of course before a single word was written, I had to pray for inspiration first and ask the Lord to lead me! Thankfully I soon felt inspired to write my poem called, “Fall In Love.”

Having been married for over 13 years at the time of writing this poem, I felt the best advice I could give a couple at the beginning of their journey as husband and wife would be to pursue Jesus as the central focus of their relationship.

I once heard an analogy that said a Christian marriage is like a triangle. Jesus is the point at the top and the husband and wife are the points opposite each other at the bottom. The idea is that the closer you draw to Jesus at the peak, the closer you’ll draw to each other. It was this lovely image, among other things that I hoped to capture within my poem.

I pray these words can be used not just by me for Katy’s wedding but also by many others to bless the Bride and Groom on their special day too. May Jesus be the focus of every Christian marriage, helping us and inspiring us to be the best spouses we can be to our partners. May we always allow our First Love to captivate our hearts as we choose daily, to fall in love with Him!

Women Of The Bible- Rachel

This week we return to my, "Women of the Bible" series with a look at the person of Rachel. Wife of Jacob and mother of Joseph and Benjamin, Rachel's life was full of highs and lows. I hope these verses and points for reflection can bless us today as we take a look at just a few of the key elements we find in the life of this fascinating woman.

But God Fights Our Battles

This week we return to my, "But God" series. For March, I thought it might be a comfort for us to remember that the battle is not ours, but God's.

But God...Fights Our Battles

2 Chronicles 20:15
“And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.””
