This was given to me by email, a friend. I liked it from end to end. Have children and grand children who don’t go to church. This will help me to put it in God’s hands with trust and prayer. Amen Elizabeth Cheever

O deary me!…this was pretty raw for me, I resonated so deeply to your words but I am so grateful to be here at this time, this place to hear these words of hope & encouragement whilst I pivot in & out of my mind feeling alone in thought & frustrated in action of who I want to be in Christ… many thanks for the clarity you speak & honesty in your talks.
Ah yes, the reality of who I am verses the vision of who I want to be, can be a daily struggle. When I had my conversion encounter, the Lord showed and told me I was HIS, I was His creation, a concept I had not even thought of, that my life mattered and that by hurting myself I was hurting Him. The pretentious masks I had worn all these 35 yrs just vanished, masks that were made from worldly images and vices that I thought were me but did me no good. I always failed and was left hungry,… Read more »
How touching your life’s journey is story! We are His and He is ours….. never to be plucked out of His hand! Grateful hearts are very happy hearts! Thank you Jesus for bringing us into the Blood bought and paid for “Family”!
Hi Julie…Like you, the words Bruce spoke really pierced into a place of knowing!..I just want to say, your reply to Bruce also resonated in me deeply.. “reality verses the vision’ ‘the masks’ ‘health limitations’ ‘plagued by irritating old thoughts’…your reflection & words I am grateful to have come across… Peace & good health to you over the Easter Celebrations

This week i am focusing on exactly this message. I want to Thank Jesus Christ for this greatest gift imaginable by Being who He created me to be. Lesson today is to take that one moment at a time. Peter denied Christ and Yet Christ made Peter the head of his church. I am forgiven.
We are so very blessed to know the whole story! Jesus we trust in you! What a privilege to call God Almighty Farher!💕

Thank you for today’s message which is a reminder of what God is saying to me and reassures me: that despite my own failures and frailties God knew and knows me well and will continue to work in me to will and to act according to his good pleasure (Phil 2) because he became fully human and knows exactly what it is like for me. And he continually shows me His mercy and forgiveness despite my inability to live up to what I aspire to. Thank you for the message: I can trust God to embrace, grace and gift me,… Read more »

That was direct, makes me ashamed. But knowing, thinking of God looking directly at me and loving me anyway, is all it takes to strive to grow in the Lord!

Thank you Bruce for this confirming message!!! It’s reassuring to know that the Lord is looking at me and sees me for who I truly am and knows everything about me!!! And yet He loves me!!! Even when I fall short of who I want to be…when I do ask for forgiveness and ask Lord Jesus for the strength of his love and grace, He is there ready to lift me up and dust me off, encouraging me back on track!!! What a wonderful Son of God is my Lord Jesus!!! My Saviour!!! May the Lord bless you Bruce greatly!

Palm Sunday message was so good for me! I have meditated on it all week. Your message today and every day gives me the feelings of living it in real time. My relationship with Jesus has grown greatly since starting this devotional! I look forward to continuing beyond Easter. Thank you Bruce and your team!

May we all Strive to be like Jesus, depend on The precious Holy Spirit to guide us, and we let God be God!!! Loved sinners… caring for each other through prayer and any assistance we can give! Bruce, I believe in my heart you and Rosemary and your team are bringing unity to denominations so needed! Tearing down the disunity that satan thrives on in churches and families! One in Christ is just that!!! Grace, grace and more grace!!🙏💕

If God and Jesus has saw me this holy week in all my nakedness as you speak then he is truly so very disappointed in me for I am not following the right path, I don’t live the true values God wants me to, I am a true sinner in so many ways I am so ashamed of myself, I hope God sees my desire to change for I so want to but I am so weak in so many ways, I sometimes cannot raise my eyes to heaven ashamed of myself to have him even look at me, why… Read more »

This Lent I decided, with the prompting of the Holy Spirit I believe, to pray the rosary every day. This is not something that I do as a rule. I discovered your videos on YouTube praying the rosary with your wife and now I’ve been praying along with the two of you. I feel like I know you and Rosemary and that we are on this faith journey together. It feels like I’m praying with two friends! So once again, thank you both for this ministry! Have a blessed Easter!
