Look at this bible verse, “I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.” - Psalms 40:1-2
Only I know how much has changed because
I no longer confuse missing someone with needing them back;
loving a memory with reopening a door, or feeling deeply with changing my decision.
If someone is giving you a place to stay, don't behave like a guest every single day. Wash the dishes, mop the floor, clean the bathroom, buy food once in a while. Contribute. Gratitude is shown through actions, not just "thank you."
Why would this guy tell me he has a meeting later today at the Accra Center of Excellence? I’m like, I’ve never heard of that before. He goes, “Oh, you’ve never been to Ace?”
Only I know how long I confused being calm with being unaffected;
because losing control had once meant losing the right to be taken seriously by anyone in the room.
Whatever you do, don’t distance yourself from Christ just because you’re struggling. Run to Him when you sin, not away from Him. Run to Him when your faith feels weak, when you’re overwhelmed, confused, or carrying shame. Jesus isn’t waiting for you to get everything together before He welcomes you back. His grace is for the moments when you feel farthest away. The enemy wants you to believe your mistakes disqualify you, but God’s mercy says, “Come closer.” The Bible reminds us, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). It doesn’t say to come after you’ve fixed yourself it says to come boldly, because His mercy is available right now. No matter what you’re facing today, don’t let guilt keep you from the One who can heal your heart. The quickest path back to peace has always been Jesus.
