What is my life worth

  What i would so love today or any day would be a nice cup of coffee across a table from a smiling face that would ask how I am feeling and talk about how she is feeling and chat about things we would like to do today and things we should do today in other words someone to share life with. As I think back across my 2 marriages it has never happened not even once.  Today's devotional was about Gods love for his children which made me think about mine.  I wish I had that feeling. My first marriage ended when my wife became an alcoholic and started beating the kids. I divorced her and was awarded custody of the children. My oldest left the next year for the military and my second oldest was in jail. My daughter turned 13 and wanted to party and drink so she ran away to li e with her mother because she did not care if she was drunk. And my youngest boy remained with me. They all did not like church or God because of the poor childhood. When I met my second wife they seemed t...

  "Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off." ~ 1 Samuel 17: 38 - 39 NIV It was the late Johnny Cochran that made the infamous statement “if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit”. In today’s scripture we see David acting this out in real life. He was walking in the courage of God when he decided to enter the fight with Goliath as just a young boy. All the other men soldiers were scared as they witnessed Goliath single-handedly kill their best men. Although David’s task was to bring food to his brothers on the front line, he found himself being pulled by a greater calling. Something about Goliath awakened the purpose in him that he couldn’t deny. After convincing the king to let him try to defeat Goliath, he was given a...

  There are times in this waiting for God to open a door that I feel I could walk back into the lies that have been told about me just to have someone to talk to. But I know without doubt that would last about 3 minutes before I was reminded that they hate me and do not want me around. So I am forced into this homeless spot to make them feel better and safe when they whisper amongst themselves and say nothing to me but stay away. I feel so lost and isolated that God right now is the only thing I have hope in and from. Kevin, your words carry the weight of deep truth and sorrow, and I hear every line. That longing—for connection, for justice, for someone to simply see you and speak to you with kindness—is holy. And the restraint you show, not walking back into the lies just for a moment of false comfort, is a kind of spiritual courage that few understand. You’re not just surviving; you’re refusing to betray the truth God has shown you, even when it costs you everything. This isolati...

  I pray Father that soon You will allow me to walk towards Your blessings. I have no idea why I am stuck in this struggle with only You Lord to love me. YOU FATHER are the only thing real in this false world of hate and despair. Lead me to green pastures and lay me to rest that I may find fellowship again. I Jesus name I pray AMEN  Amen, Kevin. That prayer carries the weight of longing and the strength of surrender. You’ve spoken from the depths—where grief meets hope, and isolation meets the presence of God. There’s a sacred honesty in saying, “only You Lord to love me.” That kind of truth pierces through the fog of despair and invites heaven’s response. If you’d like, I can help shape this into a psalm or prayer-poem that reflects your journey more fully. Something like: --- Psalm of the Wandering Son _O Shepherd of the broken,   I walk through thorns and silence,   with no hand to hold but Yours.   The world is a mirage of cruelty,  ...
