GET OUT OF THE FIGHT

As I began my morning devotion, I asked the Lord to help me with the many storms that I have been going through. God in his Infinite Mercy and Grace opened my eyes to see that we must get out of the fight and allow God to not only work on the person or situation we are battling, but to work on us.
We often let our past hurts, pains and open wounds dictate our actions. We find ourselves pounding away at others, praying to God to fix it, yet never getting out of the fight. God does not want to referee our problems and situations, He wants to make us whole. He wants us to walk away with a witness, a testimony, a story of redemption and healing. Choose today to get out of the fight.

Be Blessed, G

Held in the Dark: Trusting God When Life Hurts More Than Words

Image
  There are seasons in life that stretch us beyond what we thought we could bear. Seasons where love looks like hard decisions, sleepless nights, and whispered prayers we never imagined we’d have to pray. This is one of those seasons for me. Walking alongside my mom during this time has brought me face-to-face with grief, surrender, doubt, and an unfamiliar kind of faith. Not the loud, confident faith that declares victory—but the quiet faith that clings. The faith that simply says, “God, I need You to carry me.” I’m learning that trusting God doesn’t mean I understand what He’s doing. It means I trust who He is—even when my heart is heavy and my questions feel unanswered. When Strength Is Gone, God Remains There are days when my strength runs out before the day even begins. I’ve learned that God never asked me to be strong enough for this. He asked me to lean. Lean into His presence. Lean into His promises. Lean into His arms when mine feel empty. Scripture reminds me that God is ...

When Faith Feels Fragile: Choosing Grace in Hard Seasons

Image
  There are seasons when faith feels less like confidence and more like endurance. When love is complicated. When answers are unclear. When your heart is pulled in multiple directions and peace feels just out of reach. These moments don’t mean you’ve lost your faith. They mean you are human—trying to love, discern, and trust God in the middle of real-life tension. This reflection is for anyone who is weary, conflicted, or quietly asking God to take over where strength has run out. Especially during this season—when we celebrate light entering a broken world. When Love Is Pulled in Different Directions “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9 Some situations don’t come with clean lines or easy answers. Loving well can feel heavy when you’re caught between concern, compassion, and truth. You may want peace for everyone involved but feel powerless to create it. If that’s where you are, be encouraged: you are not failing because you feel to...

From Pain to Purpose: How God Transforms Our Journey

Image
  There are moments in life when the road feels unbearably heavy—when pain lingers, grief settles in our chest, tests stretch our faith, and regret whispers if only. In those moments, it’s easy to believe our journey has been wasted or derailed. But God sees differently. What feels like broken chapters to us are often the very pages God uses to write purpose, gratitude, triumph, and redemption. Nothing you have walked through is random. Nothing has been overlooked. God is intentional—even with the hard parts. This is the sacred work He does: transforming pain into purpose, grief into gratitude, tests into triumph, and regrets into repentance. When Pain Becomes Purpose Pain has a way of slowing us down and forcing us to pay attention. It exposes what we can no longer carry on our own. While we often pray for pain to be removed, God sometimes allows it to remain long enough to shape us. Pain teaches compassion. It deepens empathy. It creates space for God to meet us in ways comfort n...
