Beth Jones International Speaker Beth M. Jones

From a broken home to a beautiful new place, Elizabeth Lundeen realizes now that God will restore and forgive any sin. She spent years running from God and now runs passionately to Him each day. Hurt and confused, for so long she desperately tried to fill the God hole inside her by pursuing academic excellence, partying with friends, having sex with different men, and building a good career and chasing money. All efforts left her empty and lonely. One night she heard three words from God that gave her the hope she needed. A friend invited her to go hunting and then to church, where the pastor talked about the root of her struggles—and the need for Jesus Christ as Savior. This resulted in a big shift in her life —eternally. Now able to forgive, love, and encourage family members and others who deeply wounded her, Elizabeth shares her powerful story of hitting rock bottom, to discover that God is her rock—the rock of salvation, Jesus.

Do you thank God each day for His blessings and help? In Luke 17:11-19 NKJV, Jesus encountered 10 lepers, who cried out to Him for mercy and healing. He told them to go show themselves to the priest (who would proclaim them healed and cleansed and restored to society). Only one of the lepers, a Samaritan, saw that he was cleansed and returned to thank Jesus with a loud voice.

Each day we need to thank God for what He has done, is doing, and will do. Gratitude can change your life and mine. It is like lighting a candle each morning to dispel the darkness in this world. Let's cultivate a thankful heart to God, like the leper who returned to thank and glorify Jesus.



Scriptures:

Luke 17:11-19, NKJV

Psalm 118:24

1 Samuel 12:24

1 Chronicles 16:34

Are you using your spiritual gifts, talents, and skills for God's glory and to make the maximum impact on others? In this episode, I share 10 ways that writing books has changed my life. Do you want to write (or finish writing) a book?

Quotes:

"Let the word burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper." (Ray Bradbury, WD)

"After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world." (Philip Pulman)

"Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers." (Ray Bradbury, WD)

"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never know where they'll take you." (Beatrix Potter)

"I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I don't, I would die." Isaac Asimov
