About

Welcome to Roses in the Desert! 

Roses in the Desert has been created to help women develop a deeper relationship with our Lord. Whether you’re already a Christian, a new Christian, or someone who would like to learn more about God, you’ve come to the right place. This blog is all about connecting with God on a deeper level, even if you’ve been a believer all your life. 

Is It Possible to Develop a Personal Relationship with God? 

Yes, it is possible to have a personal relationship with God. But one thing many people don’t understand is that God determines the parameters of the relationship. What does that mean? Having a relationship with God is not done on your own terms; it’s always on God’s terms. 

Many Christians say they have a personal relationship with God and Jesus. For them, it’s like having a best friend who is continually with them. While that may be true, we must also remember who God is. He is the creator and sustainer of all that exists, He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This is the God who wants a relationship with us. 

God pursues each of us relentlessly. Why? He wants to have a personal relationship with each of us. We are His children, and He loves each of us immensely. When we finally choose to turn to God, we can experience His sacrificial love. This is demonstrated by a famous Bible verse: 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 NKJV

God is holy; He is the God of the entire universe. We must acknowledge His holiness and power in our relationship with Him. When you commit to Him, our Lord commits Himself to you, too. You can reach me at roses in the desert 1 (at) gmail dot com. 

A Little Bit About Me

My name is Sher, and I’m a believer, a wife, and a mother. I’m not one who has always had a deep faith. When I was young, I almost became an unbeliever. But God had other plans for me, thankfully. He drew me back (He relentlessly pursued me), and I haven’t turned away from Him since. 

It’s now been many years since my first direct encounter with our Lord. There have been struggles on the journey, but that’s only to be expected. Through the years, I learned that I could always count on God. He’s never let me down. 

It is this message that God wants you to know--He's there for you, and He will never let you down. That's why this blog was created. 

Why Create this Blog? 

The purpose of this blog is to help others learn about our Father and how to lean into His relentless, loving pursuit and find a new life Him.
