This morning has been hard. I’m tired, busy, and I was already late getting today’s devotional written when I heard the simplest little Gem whispered to my heart: “Better late than never.” Wow. ❤️ How often do we let “I should have done it sooner” become the reason we never do it at all? Maybe…

Hard doesn’t necessarily mean wrong. Sometimes the most worthwhile things are also the hardest—choosing forgiveness, having the uncomfortable conversation, letting go, starting over, or continuing when quitting would be easier. If you know God is leading you, don’t measure the worth of the journey by how difficult it feels. Sometimes the thing we most want…

Not everything presented as entertainment is harmless. We’re in Branson with our granddaughters this weekend, and among all the shows, restaurants, and family attractions is a huge sign advertising palm reading. It would be so easy to think, Wouldn’t that be fun? Let’s see what they say! But calling something “just for fun” doesn’t change…

ou were never meant to face the darkness in your own strength. When we encounter temptation, fear, injustice, corruption, or spiritual darkness, we can call upon Jesus. We aren’t powerful because we’re powerful. We stand because of Who stands with us. There is power in the name of Jesus because there is power in Jesus…

Sometimes the things that look good aren’t good for us. In fact, that’s often how temptation works—it looks appealing enough to make us reach for it before we recognize the danger attached to it.

After my dog was hit by a car, I was sure I was going to lose her. But later that night, we found our injured girl sitting in the back field—right back at her post, faithfully watching over us and our property. God used my beloved watchdog to teach me something about dedication, prayer, healing,…

Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is stop, rest, and enjoy the life God has given us. ❤️ My husband and I are taking a much-needed vacation September 19–27, so 5 Minutes with God will be taking a little “day of rest” too. 😂 Rather than stressing myself out trying to work ahead,…

Have you ever known you needed to repent but kept putting it off? Repentance doesn’t have to begin with a perfectly worded prayer. It begins with honesty: “Lord, I was wrong.” You don’t need to punish yourself first or spend days feeling terrible enough to prove you’re sorry. Acknowledge it. Confess it. Ask His forgiveness.…

Sometimes receiving something from God is easier than having the courage to share it. What if people think I’m weird? What if they don’t understand? What if nobody wants to hear it? But fear of people’s reactions shouldn’t be the thing that decides whether we obey. God reminded me: “Don’t be afraid of the things…

There is always more of God to discover. ❤️ As we continue seeking His heart and spending time in His presence, we begin recognizing Him in ways we couldn’t before. Seeking God isn’t about chasing experiences; it’s about pursuing relationship. The encounter isn’t the destination. He is. So keep seeking. Keep listening. Keep drawing near.…
