I love the Lord and by His grace I am able to minister to women. I am happily married to Jimmy, between us we have 4 great daughters!

@johnnarae Article states steps taken and that his wife and her husband were aware of convo and there was nothing romantic or sexual about communication.

When I am deeply hurt by something someone has done or said, I have to give myself permission to be honest about my feelings. But I don’t have to compound the hurt by reacting out of those feelings.

I don’t want today’s reaction to become tomorrow’s regret.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

It's easier to give grace when we remember how desperately we need grace.

Lord, help us to have grace and see others through Your eyes.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Your progress doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. And a setback doesn't mean we should give up.

Let me encourage you tonight: grab some grace and keep going.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Sometimes, we just have to walk through stuff even when we desperately just want to quickly get over it.

But the going through is what will get us on the other side with a greater understanding that God has always and will always be with us.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Remember this. ❤️

The best way I’ve found to start recognizing the Lord’s whispers in my heart is by getting into His Word and letting His Word get into me.

The more Scripture I memorize, the more clearly I hear Him.

[Mary Oreane Fruge @Maryoreane]

This!! So many times in life, I feel knowing the "why" would make it all better. Truly, not knowing the "why" causes me to decide if I trust or not... trying to try choose trust more often!!

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Sometimes God has to lean in close to my heart full of questions and gently whisper, “You don’t have to have all of the answers, Lysa. You just need to trust.”

Maybe your heart needs that reminder tonight too.

Lord, unrush us today. Show us how to slow down and leave sacred space for relationships. We want to follow Your example of staying focused on connection and compassion. Amen.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

What do we do with that gap between where our capabilities end and trusting God begins?

We must pray.

And when it seems we’ve prayed for years and we haven’t yet seen God’s answer? We must remember … God does His best work in the unseen.

[Proverbs 31 @Proverbs31org]

The best way to find what my next step should be is to be in God’s Word. I will worry about obedience and let Him worry about the outcomes. (Psalm 119:105)

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Choosing gratitude right in the middle of what’s hard isn’t denial. But it is choosing to do only what can be done today.

[Mary Oreane Fruge @Maryoreane]

@augustabulldawg A powerful statement I heard recently, "no amount of tears at a funeral will erase the guilt of not speaking while someone is living"
So glad you had this opportunity!

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Sometimes what we see can be discouraging at best and defeating at worst. But with Jesus in your story, there's always more than meets the eye.

[Mary Oreane Fruge @Maryoreane]

@ellmore So important for us to make the most of every moment as a gift from God.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Unrealistic expectations often lead to our greatest frustrations.

That's why the best place for us to look is always Jesus. He is the answer to our every need. He is our one true source of satisfaction.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Let’s praise God today for who He is … Our God who fulfills His purposes. Our God who saves. Our God whose steadfast love and faithfulness know no end.
