About Arrow

Hi and welcome! My pen name is Arrow. The word “arrow” intrigues me because it has two meanings that describe my passions. One, it is an instrument used intentionally to reach a target, and two, it shows the way. As a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, my goals are to live for Him, lead others to Him, and glorify the Heavenly Father. I pray that the stories, poems, song lyrics, and devotional thoughts I share on this website will always be inspired by the Holy Spirit and aligned with the truths found in God’s Word. My hope is that the words may penetrate your heart and point the way to a closer relationship with the Savior. I look forward to sharing my journey with you. Experiencing what God has in store is bound to be exciting! May you be blessed! ~ Arrow

Wednesday Whisper ~ Fall, Not a Season

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Arrow

When we make those wrong choices, or sin, we need to acknowledge it, straighten things out with God and the one(s) we hurt, get help as needed, and then move on. Falling is expected but we are not expected to stay down or continue making that same stupid ‘fall.’ Let’s learn from our mistakes and do all we can not to repeat them. Falling is costly. It has consequences and leaves scars, but does not need to be permanent. Continue reading →

Wed. Whisper ~ Overwhelming Hope

Posted on September 18, 2019 by Arrow

Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (NIV) Preacher Robert Morris explains that soaring like an eagle provides a better perspective of our circumstances; not becoming weary means we have extra energy stored up for later; and not fainting indicates we have a deeper determination to persevere.

Go to the Source

Posted on August 14, 2019 by Arrow

God made us like Him, having the ability to reason and create, but we also have our limitations. When stuck, we should go to the Source! At one point, Jeremiah, the prophet, shared this word:
“This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth…‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’” (Jeremiah 33:2-3 NIV) Continue reading →

Troubled Soul

Posted on November 9, 2018 by Arrow

Oh troubled soul
May you now hear
The Truth He declares, whispering clear
May He soften your heart and open your ear
To hear Jesus calling – the Savior is near
He offers peace now, and life after the grave
To all who believe, He came to save. Continue reading →

You Must Love Me!

Posted on October 8, 2018 by Arrow

You must love me
For You gave me today.
I woke up.
I can breathe,
Exhale cares away.

I can sense,
I can see,
Smell jasmine outside,
Hear the hummingbird whizzzz
As I lift windows high.

Yesterday, a rainbow
As hail joined the rain.
Gifts from You, Father,
I praise You again! Continue reading →
