Better With Age
I was an 80's girl. As a senior in high school (and not yet saved), I chanted with my peers, "We're gonna party like it's 1999!" And in 1987, future years like "1999" and "2000" seemed [...]
Always Gift-Giving Season
It's hard to believe we're approaching the gift-giving season already --but then again, between family birthdays, baby showers, and weddings, is it ever not the gift-giving season? More specifically, as Christians in tune with the Holy [...]
God’s First Promise
Did you know the first promise God ever made was about Christmas? You actually know the story. It didn’t happen in Bethlehem. It happened in the Garden. Sin caused man to fall and God responded with a [...]
Finish Well
It should our constant desire to run our race with joy. Unfortunately, even with good intentions, it's easy to slip into grumbling and complaining if we’re not mindful of our heart disposition. For example, without thinking [...]
Just Pause
"What happens a lot of times is that believers get taken up with natural things, and that's where they dwell. Therefore they don't take advantage of what already belongs to them as they should. They don't [...]
Lift Up Your Eyes
In reading the story of Jesus and the woman at the well, I noticed something I had not seen before. If you don't know the story, Jesus' disciples had left Him at the well to go [...]
(Never) Without God
This morning, as I sat and prayed, an old song came bubbling up out of my spirit: When I think about the Lord, how He saved me, how He raised me, how He filled me up [...]
Welcome to the End Times
The Bible says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance" (Psalm 33:12). So what happens when the Christian majority is saddened by events happening in [...]
Why Do We Stray?
When I hear the word stray, I think of a lost dog-- one who doesn't have a home, a wanderer looking for its next meal. And then I think about people and the spiritual falling away [...]
Mundane, Ho-Hum, and the Trap
I recently stumbled upon a word that made me take a second look. The word was mundane. I figured it meant ordinary, routine, blah, or ho-hum. And these are correct synonyms (words that mean the same). [...]
Consider Him
The first few words of Hebrews 12:3 in my Bible, says, "For consider Him..." This phrase has been rolling around in my heart for a few days: Consider Him. Consider means to think carefully about something; [...]
How Could I Ever Repay God?
Have you ever been so thankful that you've asked yourself, "How can I ever thank God for all He has done for me?" The writer of Psalms 116 asks this very question: "What shall I render [give] [...]
Army of One
I recently heard a phrase that made me chuckle and sigh at the same time. It was: "I am an army of one." I laughed because for most of Mirror Ministries, it's just been me. And [...]
Really Blessed
When you develop your relationship with the Holy Spirit and maintain a steady diet of God's Word, the Lord will speak things to your heart. For example, I was praying and thanking God for a new [...]
What Are You Called To Do?
This is a good question: what are you called to do? I imagine you have probably asked yourself this more than once-- whether it was in high school before graduating and figuring out the next steps [...]
Here We Go
I'm pretty sure 2025 was a futuristic date in the Jetson's cartoon when I was little. Or at least it was way out there from my little vantage point in the seventies and eighties. Yet here [...]
The LOVE of Advent
Sometimes one little word can change or emphasize the depth and meaning of a statement. And we find this in one of the most memorized scriptures in the entire Bible. Just two letters-- "For God so [...]
