prodigal – Kim Jaggers Ministry

Where else would I go?

This is hard stuff. Are you ready for some hard stuff? I’ve been paused on this verse for several days. I’ve been wrestling. I’ve been reading commentaries and thinking about all I’ve seen God do and know Him to be. Still, I can’t fully wrap my mind around these words God had the beloved disciple,Continue reading “Where else would I go?”

God > My Emotions

and that equals PEACE! My middle child was born at 31 weeks. He had many health issues that compounded being born so prematurely. He spent 264 days of the first year in the hospital followed by years of doctor’s visits , more hospital stays, and major surgeries including two heart surgeries. My niece and herContinue reading “God > My Emotions”

My Son is Saved! Listen to his words

So many of you have prayed for my son! Thank you! What a Savior!! He pursues the lost and the prodigal! He brings salvation and peace! Nothing is too hard for Him (Luke 1:37).

Please make them mercifully miserable.

I used to think if I just tried really hard to obey God, things would go well with me. You know, circumstantially, this world, well. But it seems there is a longer, eternal, better view.

He loves them more than you do…

I know, God, You love them more than I do….those whose names are heavy on my heart. I often find myself trying to say or do just the right thing in hopes they would find hope, joy, and peace in You. Oh God, that some would finally just surrender to You. In the middle ofContinue reading “He loves them more than you do…”

A caution for those with lost sheep.

Jesus talks about the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Matt 18:12-14) just after talking about quickly addressing our own sin (Matt 18:8-9). The Enduring Word commentary quotes Spurgeon about this passage who says, “perhaps the most dangerous, form of the temptation, is to despise one, because that one has gone astray.” And if you’ve beenContinue reading “A caution for those with lost sheep.”

Because of Who He is – All of the Word…

As Jesus stands in a city surrounded by throngs of idols, He asks His disciples who others say that He is (Matt 16:13) to which they give various answers. Jesus presses further and says, “But who do you say that I am?” (Matt 16:15) Peter famously replies, “You are the Christ, the Son of theContinue reading “Because of Who He is – All of the Word…”

When you love a lost sheep…

It’s easy to feel forgotten. It’s easy to think God does not care about what our weary worn hearts care about. But He does. He cares about the one.The each one.The lost onesand the messed-up ones. In Luke 15, Jesus was eating with sinners and the religious leaders are shocked. Jesus then tells the famousContinue reading “When you love a lost sheep…”
