When Frustration Meets Faith

Image
Scripture: Habakkuk 1:1-5 There are moments when our prayers sound like echoes in a storm. We cry out, asking “Lord, do You see this?” and God replies, “I’m doing something you wouldn’t believe if I told you.” Habakkuk teaches us that faith is not built in comfort—it’s forged in questions. When frustration meets faith, transformation begins. God’s silence is not His absence; it’s the space where hope is growing roots. So when you feel stretched, misunderstood, or worn thin—pray anyway. Praise anyway. God’s plan is unfolding, even through your tears. Prayer: Father, turn my frustration into faith and my waiting into worship. Help me to believe that You are working, even now. Call to Action: Choose one situation that frustrates you most and turn it into a written prayer today—then watch hope rise. Unapologetically, G.  

“Heaven Noticed the Servant"

Image
 In a world obsessed with fame and followers, God still honors servants. Ebed-Melech wasn’t a prophet or king—he was a eunuch, a foreigner, a man with no status. Yet when others turned a blind eye to injustice, he acted. And Heaven noticed. We live in a time where quiet faithfulness often goes unseen. Caregivers, teachers, ushers, mothers, fathers, and servants of God who do what’s right without applause—you are Heaven’s headlines. Ebed-Melech teaches us that faithfulness doesn’t need a platform. It just needs a heart tuned to God’s compassion. You may never know the full impact of your obedience, but one day, you’ll hear the words, “Well done.” Let this be your encouragement: serve anyway, love anyway, give anyway. Your faithfulness reverberates through eternity. Unapologetically, G.

“When Nothing Seems to Grow — Trust the Soil”

Image
There are seasons when everything looks still — prayers feel unanswered, progress feels slow, and the days seem heavy. The moments can sting deeply especially when you give so much and receive so little rest for your soul. But the truth is: even in stillness, God is working. A seed doesn’t grow because it’s seen — it grows because it’s planted in the right soil. Your faithfulness, your late nights, your whispered prayers — they are the roots of a harvest yet to come. Dormancy isn’t death; it’s development. God buries us sometimes, not to forget us, but to fortify us. He is strengthening your foundation so that when your harvest season arrives, it will last. So keep watering your faith with prayer. Keep feeding your spirit with grace. Keep showing up, even when you feel unseen. You are not buried. You are being built — for something greater than you can imagine. Unapologetically, G. 🌾

Making It Through the Valley

Image
Standing on God, Our Solid Rock and Firm Foundation There are seasons when life feels like a valley — a place of shadows, uncertainty, and fatigue. We often associate God with the mountain-top moments, the victories and celebrations, but He is just as present in the valley. In fact, it’s in the valley that our roots grow deep, where faith becomes refined, and where we learn to stand on the Rock that never moves. The valleys of life remind us that faith isn’t built on feelings but on foundation — on Jesus Christ, our solid rock. He never promised the journey would be easy, but He promised He would never leave us alone. He steadies our steps when the path is rough and lights the way when darkness surrounds us. If you’re walking through a valley right now, hold on. You will not stay there forever. God’s light still shines in the dark places, and His strength is still made perfect in weakness. You may bend, but you will not break — because your foundation is unshakable. Unapologetically, G...

When Breakthrough Meets Battle

Image
  There’s something I’ve noticed about walking with God: the closer you get to your breakthrough, the harder the enemy fights to block your path. It almost feels unfair—you’ve prayed, fasted, sown seeds, and trusted God, and then, right when the answer is on the horizon, distractions, discouragement, and roadblocks start popping up like weeds in a freshly tilled garden. But here’s the truth: opposition is not a sign that God has forgotten you—it’s confirmation that you are on the right track. The enemy doesn’t fight what isn’t a threat. If your faith wasn’t powerful, if your prayer wasn’t moving heaven, if your blessing wasn’t near, the enemy wouldn’t bother. Think of Jacob in Genesis 32. He wrestled all night long with God, refusing to let go until the blessing came. That fight left him with a limp, but it also left him with a new name, a new destiny, and undeniable favor. Sometimes we come out of the struggle with scars, but those scars are proof of survival and reminders that Go...

Finding Strength in Who You Are, Whose You Are, and Why You Were Created

Image
  There comes a point when life feels heavy—when roles, responsibilities, and expectations weigh you down. But true strength is not found in striving harder. It is found in knowing who you are, whose you are, and why you were created. Who you are is more than your job, title, or role. You are God’s beloved, His masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made. Whose you are grounds you in truth: you belong to Christ, and His love secures you when the world feels shaky. Why you were created fuels your journey. Your life carries purpose, even in seasons of waiting, caregiving, or transition. When you rest in these truths, you walk differently—you face challenges with courage, knowing you are never alone. Call to Action: This week, pause and write down: One truth about who you are in Christ One way you’ve seen God’s strength sustain you One purpose you are walking in right now Then share one of those truths with a friend who may need encouragement. Prayer: Lord, thank You for reminding me ...

A Seat at the Table: God’s Invitation for You

Image
When you think of a table, you may picture Sunday dinners, holiday spreads, or quiet moments shared with loved ones. But in Scripture, the table is more than a place to eat—it is a symbol of fellowship, provision, and blessing. Psalm 23 declares, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” That one verse changes everything. God Himself is the Host. He doesn’t send someone else to set the table—He personally prepares it for you. Every detail is intentional, every need anticipated, every blessing chosen with love. At His table, there’s a seat reserved with your name on it. No matter where you’ve been, how unworthy you’ve felt, or what battles you’ve faced, you are invited. The invitation is sealed in Christ—open to all who will come and sit. Why does God prepare this table? Because life is demanding, and the soul needs nourishment beyond food. The table is where He supplies strength for weary hearts, peace in chaotic seasons, joy in sorrowful moments, and hope for tomo...
