Depression tries to take people away, but God wants to bring you back to life. You matter. Your voice matters. Your purpose matters. Don’t fight it alone pray, talk, reach out. The enemy is a liar. Jesus is the truth and Please stay safe wherever you are. God is with you.
I stepped outside and challenged myself to stare at the sun. Honestly, I couldn’t do it, it was too bright. I couldn’t even keep my eyes fully open. It was just too bright!
Then a thought hit my heart:
“If the sun is this bright, and it’s millions of miles away, how bright is the One who created it?”
At that point I just humbled myself immediately. Because clearly, if I can’t handle the sun, how do I want to handle God? No wonder the Bible says in 1 Timothy 6:16 that God dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. It makes perfect sense now!
And then you remember Moses, after just a partial encounter with God’s glory, his face shone so brightly for days. The Israelites were like, “Sir… please cover that thing.” 😭 He literally had to wear a veil because the brightness was too much for them.
So imagine the full glory of God… ah! No human being can stand that. Not even for one second.
That’s why it’s so deep that God chose to come in a way we could handle. He didn’t show up in full blazing glory; instead, He came in human form through Jesus, so we could actually look at Him, talk to Him, and relate with Him without fainting on the spot.
Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God, the version of God our eyes can handle without going blind.
Honestly… what a marvelous, wise, and loving God. 🙌
The same way Jesus became flesh, the Holy Spirit becomes words, and when they’re spoken, they bring life.
Speak the word of God, they are spirit and life.
As Christians who walk in the spirit, we don’t speak English, we speak spirit, we speak life.
Sometimes God reminds us He’s close in the smallest details. I was feeling cold after service and just wishing for warm water. Minutes later, someone handed me exactly that. It wasn’t loud or dramatic, but it was enough to remind me that He notices us, even in the little things.
This is the day the Lord has made… This is the week the Lord has made!
I step into this new day and this new week with a heart full of gratitude and expectation. I do not walk into it alone—I walk with the presence, power, and promises of God guiding me every step of the way.
