God sees things we can’t see. He knows things we don’t know. And only He knows what the good plan is & what it will take to get us there.
Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus, choose to believe that God’s plans really are the best plans & remind our hearts we can trust Him at all times.
You're beautiful, friend. Truly. But don’t cheapen this reality by only looking for it skin deep.
Beauty emerges from one’s soul. Leave traces of it wherever you go. Give it away through your words, your smile, your creativity, your generous spirit.
God never sends you into a situation alone. God goes before you. He stands beside you. He walks behind you. whatever situation you have right now, be confident, God is with you!
There is nothing quite as toxic as spiritual smugness born of a sense of superior revelation or insight! Those who take that exalted position become blind to their own faulty foundations and endangerment of falling. #GuardMyHeartOLord
Which 🍐fruit of the spirit are you working on?
Galatians 5:22-25
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

Forgiveness is both a decision & a process. We make the decision to forgive for the facts of what happened. Then we start the process of forgiving for the impact it had on us.
Each step is crucial. None of it is easy. But it uncomplicates my pain & helps me see beautiful again.
"But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” -Jeremiah 17:10
There’s never a day when you don’t have to ‘set your mind (heart)’ on things above. Life creates too many opportunities to be entangled with earthly things.
You cannot serve God and popular opinion.
You cannot serve God and people-pleasing.
You cannot serve God and immorality.
You cannot serve God and pride.
You cannot serve God and bitterness.
You cannot serve God and yourself.
Choose this day who you will serve.
