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

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 tomorrow. Even in the presence of enemies—fear, doubt, opposition—His table stands firm as a testimony that you are cared for and covered.


And the blessings on this table? They go beyond bread and drink. Here you’ll find forgiveness for the past, courage for today, direction for tomorrow, mercy new every morning, and goodness that overflows. As Psalm 34:8 reminds us: “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”


But the table isn’t just for a moment—it’s a place to dwell. God’s presence is not a quick snack to grab on the go. It’s an open invitation to linger, to rest, and to be filled again and again. His presence is the feast, His promises the nourishment, His love the dessert that never runs out.


So today, don’t just rush past the table. Take your seat. Rest. Be filled. Everything you need has already been prepared for you.


✨ Unapologetically, G

Mending Brokenness: God’s Call to Forgiveness and Unity

Image
  We live in a world full of division—families torn apart, friendships ended, churches split, and individuals walking around with silent, unhealed wounds. Brokenness is the enemy’s favorite weapon because a divided people are a weakened people. But God calls us to a different way. Through Christ, we are offered healing, forgiveness, and realignment. What the enemy tries to destroy, God desires to rebuild in love and unity. Forgiveness is one of the hardest yet most freeing acts of obedience. It’s not about ignoring pain but refusing to let pain dictate the direction of your life. When we forgive, we unlock healing not just for ourselves, but for everyone connected to us. Unity is the heartbeat of heaven. Scripture reminds us that “a house divided cannot stand” (Mark 3:25) .  This isn’t just about households—it’s about communities, churches, and even our inner life. The cracks in our hearts are mended when we choose love over bitterness, forgiveness over revenge, and unity ove...

You Don’t Look Like What You’ve Been Through, But You Feel It

Image
  We love to celebrate resilience. People say, “You don’t look like what you’ve been through!” And while it’s meant as a compliment, sometimes it feels like a dismissal. Because behind the polished smile, you do feel it. You feel the weight, the weariness, the heartache. Here’s the truth: God never asked us to fake it. He never asked us to mask our struggles so others could applaud our strength. He asked us to walk in love, joy, and integrity—authentically. Real faith doesn’t deny pain. Real faith says, “I’m pressed, but not crushed. I’m weary, but I’m still walking.” Real joy doesn’t erase tears; it anchors you while you cry. Real love doesn’t come from pretense—it flows sincerely from a heart touched by God. So if you’re in a season where you feel what you’re going through, you’re not less spiritual. You’re human. And in your humanity, God’s strength shines brightest. You can walk in your calling authentically—without the mask, without the performance. Just you, raw and real, he...

The Hem of Him: Reaching for Hope in Desperate Times

Image
  There’s a woman in Scripture whose story mirrors so much of our human struggle. For twelve years, she carried pain, shame, and disappointment. Doctors had failed her. Resources had run out. Yet, with just enough strength, she pressed her way through the crowd to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment—and in that single act of faith, her life was forever changed (Mark 5:25–34). Her story teaches us timeless truths about what it means to live by faith when life feels overwhelming. --- Just Enough Strength The woman didn’t have much left. After years of suffering, she only had enough faith to whisper, “If I only touch His cloak, I will be healed.” Sometimes, that’s us—running on empty, clinging to a sliver of hope. And yet, that “just enough” strength is all God requires. He honors even the smallest reach of faith. --- Seeking Relief She had tried everything—every doctor, every remedy, every resource—yet nothing worked. Relief finally came, not through people or possessions, but through Je...
