“My story is not about how strong I was.

It is about how faithful He has been.

It is not about how I figured things out.

It is about how God made a way when I could not.

Every breakthrough, every answered prayer, every moment of restoration points back to Him, not me.

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.” Psalm 107:2

I am just the evidence of His grace.

The proof that God still heals, still restores, still redeems.

What people see as strength is really His sustaining power.

What looks like victory is actually His mercy at work.

So when I share my testimony, it is not to highlight my journey, but to reveal His goodness.

Because at the end of it all, the story was never about me.

It has always been about God.”

This is a great post from “Just Sayen'”, who I've just discovered on Facebook (check them out). I pray it blesses you. 🙂

Friends, have a great day in Christ. 💛

“Time is something we cannot control. We cannot pause it. We cannot extend it. We cannot go back and redo it.

But we can decide how we live within it.

Some people live long lives but feel empty. Others live simple lives but carry depth, joy, and meaning.

Because life is not only measured by duration. It is measured by intention.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12

Every day is an opportunity, not just to exist, but to live with purpose.

To love more intentionally.

To forgive more freely.

To serve more genuinely.

To walk more closely with God.

Adding life to your days means choosing what matters most.

It means being present instead of distracted.

Grateful instead of rushed.

Faithful instead of careless.

You may not control how many days you are given.

But you can decide what fills those days.

Because a life aligned with God is never wasted, no matter how ordinary it may seem. ❤️‍🔥”

Hi Friends! I'm sharing this post, because this is something I've also been thinking about recently.

I've been a Christian a pretty long time, and I have learned that life is made up of moments. Some are good, some are not. Some moments join together to make minutes, maybe days, maybe longer, but they all have one thing in common —good or bad, they all pass.

God encourages us to live in the present,

Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV). “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. [19] See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

(See also Phil. 3:13–14, 2 Cor. 5:17, Lam. 3:22–23, Heb. 12:1–2, Matt. 6:34)

The best thing we can do is enjoy the good moments and learn from both the good and the bad moments. Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 comes to mind, so I'll end with that.

Friends, I pray that you have a wonderful day, filled with many blessed moments in Jesus' name, Amen! 🙏

“Elijah stood on Mount Carmel and called down fire from heaven. He faced prophets, confronted darkness, and saw God move powerfully. It was a victory no one could deny… But right after that, everything shifted. One threat. One moment of fear. And Elijah ran.

“Elijah was afraid and ran for his life.” 1 Kings 19:3

The same man who stood boldly before many now felt alone, tired, and overwhelmed. He sat down and said,

“I have had enough, Lord.” 1 Kings 19:4

This is the part we do not always talk about. Even strong people get tired. Even faithful people feel overwhelmed. Even those who have seen God move can still struggle.

But God did not shame him. God met him. He sent rest. He sent provision. He sent His presence, not in the wind, not in the fire, but in a gentle whisper.

“After the fire came a gentle whisper.” 1 Kings 19:12

God was not only in Elijah’s victory. He was also in his weakness.

Sometimes we think we need to be strong all the time. That we cannot slow down, cannot feel, cannot admit we are tired. But God meets you not just in your strength, but also in your breaking.

So if you feel exhausted, if you feel like you have nothing left, you are not disqualified. God is still near. God is still speaking. God is still restoring. Because even in your lowest moment, He has not left you. ❤️‍🔥”

Hi Everyone! I had to share this Bible story, because I think of it often. In fact, just a few days ago. It always puzzled me why Elijah, after such an amazing victory and demonstration of God's power Elijah ran away, hid and wanted to die.

Why did Elijah react by running away? Possibly because he was human and imperfect. He was exhausted out, and maybe he felt his powerlessness, because it was God who had the power, not Elijah. The devil probably had a hand in Elijah's reaction. And fear is a spirit, which affects all of us at times. It could've been any or all of these things.

What can we take from this story? That we are human, and at our lowest points we aren't really ourselves. And God knew that sometimes all we need is rest, provision and a gentle, comforting presence.

Friends, let's be a supply to each other, when we've reached the end of ourselves, as God was to Elijah. Have a blessed day in Christ. Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

“Jacob spent most of his life striving. Grabbing… Trying to secure blessings in his own way.

His very name meant deceiver.

And for years, that is exactly how he lived. He took what was not his. He ran from consequences. He carried fear, guilt, and the weight of his past.

But one night, everything changed. Jacob found himself alone. No distractions. No escape. And there, he wrestled…

“So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.” Genesis 32:24

It was not just a physical struggle. It was internal. Spiritual. Personal. A moment where God confronted not just his situation, but his identity. Jacob refused to let go.

“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” Genesis 32:26

And God responded in a way Jacob did not expect. He changed his name… From Jacob to Israel. From deceiver to one who wrestles with God and overcomes.

Sometimes God does not just fix your problems. He transforms who you are.

We keep striving, trying to control everything. We hold on to our old ways, our old identity, our past mistakes. But there comes a moment when God allows a breaking, a wrestling, a confrontation. Not to destroy you, but to change you.

Because the blessing is not just in what you receive. It is in who you become. God has to change your name before He can change your story.”

“When David stood in front of his brothers, he was just the youngest…

The one sent to take care of sheep.

The one not even invited when the prophet came to anoint the next king.

To them, he was ordinary.

Overlooked. Not important enough to be considered.

But God saw something different.

“People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

1 Samuel 16:7

While others saw a shepherd, God saw a king in the making. While others dismissed him, God was preparing him.

David’s identity was not defined by people’s opinions.

It was shaped by God’s purpose.

People label us based on what they see now.

Our current position, our past mistakes, our limitations.

They speak according to what is visible.

But God speaks according to what He has already placed inside you.

You may feel overlooked.

You may feel underestimated.

You may feel like you are not enough.

But what God sees in you is greater than what others fail to recognize.

Do not let people’s opinions limit what God is building in your life.

Do not shrink yourself to fit their expectations.

Because the same God who saw a king in a shepherd

is the same God who sees purpose in you.

Let Him define you.

Let Him shape you.
