Love God. Love others. More and More. When we seek God, we know God, because He is love. Over the next 90 days, we’ll unveil love together. We’ll take a journey through Scripture to highlight what God says about love. We’ll explore how we distort it, and we’ll receive God’s encouragement to see love the way God intends. As we seek and yield, we’ll grow in our relationships with God and each other, because as God fills us with His love, we will overflow with it. He provides abundantly. Each day begins with the key Scripture and is followed by...

Faith isn’t just believing. It’s knowing. We don’t have to be certain about everything in order to be certain in faith. Certainty of faith is certainty of and in God. It’s saying, “I know God” even when I don’t know the answer. It’s replacing our search for answers with a search for the personal God who wants a relationship with us so he can progressively reveal himself to us. Certainty of faith is replacing the “what ifs” with the “who is.” Perhaps you’re not certain about God. You believe you hold the certainties...

There is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) We have favorite seasons of nature, but what about spiritual seasons? You might have a favorite spiritual season, but you cannot live in it every moment of your life. You can choose to sit and pout about it, or you can use the time given to you, learning the lessons and growing the way God purposes. Every season combines with other seasons to complete a person’s life and purpose on earth. Growth is only possible because of the combination of seasons. We think we can handle our experiences—past,...

Emotions saturate Scripture. God is an emotional God—not in the same way we talk about an emotional woman or emotional person. But God is certainly aware of the runaway emotions we’re referring to when we put a negative spin on emotions. We can’t escape God’s presence. That means he sees and hears alongside us, including our (often messy) emotions. If we let him, God will replace those untruthful messages we’ve learned about emotions along the journey of life with the truthful messages reflecting his character, will, and commands. God didn’t mess up his design...

Even though we can’t choose the adversities that come against us, we can choose how we let them effect us. We choose to let them make us better or bitter.

The title of this study starts off with the word “cultivate” as does each of the chapter titles. “Cultivate” is a word used a lot in farming or agriculture and it means to prepare the land or the ground for use. It means to loosen or break up the soil. It further means to improve by labor, care or study. The heart is that ground that initially needs to be prepared by God to receive the seed of His Word. https://www.amazon.com/Cultivate-Heart-Vera-Leray-Warner/dp/0741458675/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493132900&sr=8-1&keywords=Cultivate+My+Heart...

Are you ready for a challenge? Lord, Change the Pharisee in Me challenges you to reevaluate your heart. What is the driving force behind your actions and the motive behind your agendas? Is it compulsion to act for the Father or for your gain? As Christians, we embrace the heart of Jesus and must emulate it to those around us. To do this, we must die to self and embrace God’s righteousness, love and humility. At times in our combative and seductive society, our walk would be easier if we just blended in but this is not our call! We are to be carriers of His Presence to those around us. You...
