Wouldn’t the world be a wonderful place if we as a people understood the true meaning of harmonious? What would it mean to live in harmony with one another? It’s easy to say love, but love means different things to different people.

We always hear, “Don't take life for granted,” and although that is true, what does that actually mean? In my opinion, it means live life with purpose, practice daily gratitude, and be very present, appreciating every small miracle.

People say, “Just forgive them and you will feel better.” Personally, I’m not sure I agree with that. You don’t necessarily feel better when you forgive a person who hurt you, especially if it’s a deep wound. Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment, anger, and vengeance toward someone who has wronged you.

I attended my granddaughter's graduation from preschool to kindergarten yesterday. The theme was emotions and it was the cutest thing ever. Being an emotionally mature individual will serve you well in life.

What exactly is faithfulness? The Bible speaks about faithfulness in two ways: God's unwavering loyalty to us and our call to be faithful to God and others. Faithful means being steadfast, loyal, and unwavering in your devotion, promises, or duties.

Let's be clear: we serve a generous God. He gave His son for our salvation; clearly, there is no greater selfless act. Generosity is part of God's design. He expects us to move selflessly with our money, our time, our love, and our resources. We are supposed to share and share spontaneously with little effort.

Have you ever pressed the reset button on an electronic device? You know, the button you press when something stops working and you softly begin to panic? Then you remember there’s a reset button that turns things off and reboots them so they can work properly again. I believe God designed a rebooting mechanism for us to access freely.

Captivate is a beautiful word. It basically means to be enthralled by beauty or excellence. I believe it’s God’s desire to captivate our hearts with His beauty and His excellence. To be captivated by Jesus is to be held in a positive way. It does not mean to be imprisoned by Him but rather to be free because of His love and grace.

God has been ministering to me recently about releasing all old wine skins from my life. In essence, He is saying, “Out with the old and in with the new.” Matthew 9:17 says, “Nor is new wine put into old wineskins that have lost their elasticity; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the fermenting wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so both are preserved.” We can't put new ideas into old mindsets.

Choose peace over drama and real over fake. Remember that not everyone deserves access to your life. You have to care about yourself enough to protect what’s yours. Your heart is your prized possession, so be careful with it. Guarding your peace is wise. Know your worth and try to remove toxicity from your life.

There are moments when I just sit with myself. I think about my past, and surprisingly, I don’t think too much about my future now. When deep suffering crosses your path, there’s an opportunity for something beautiful to happen. There’s this place within you that becomes so reliant on God, that it almost feels like you share one breath.

In order to understand this word to the fullest capacity, I believe we must first understand what the word “new” means. New primarily means having recently come into existence, discovered, or created. New means it’s never been used. Now, we must understand the word “pursuit.”

Such a powerful message today. When you think about manifestation, you should think about bringing something into physical reality. Each one of us is designed by God to carry a gift. This gift is very unique and belongs solely to us. A doctor is gifted with hands that heal.

Sometimes in life, you're left holding a story with no ending. It’s not what you’ve seen for yourself, but it's your truth. Always remember the things you’ve experienced in life were real, they mattered. They changed you in some way, and for that they’re important regardless of the outcome because they’re your memories.

Have you ever seen something dangling from somewhere? If you have, you know it grabs your attention because it’s swaying from side to side, swinging loosely like it’s about to fall. Today, I’m sensing that God may be using this word so we can take notice of something that may be dangling in front of us.

A father's love is an anchor of steadfast guidance, silent sacrifice, and quiet support. It is a protective presence that often speaks through actions rather than words, building a lifelong foundation of strength, values, and security for his children.

I heard Dan Romer give a great example of the two, using David from the Bible. He said, “David was a musician; that was his gift. David’s calling with Kingship. He was called to be a King.” Could you imagine if David didn’t understand the difference between a gift and a calling?

Words are a profound force. They do not merely describe reality; they shape it, carrying the capacity to heal, destroy, uplift, or limit. The bible views words as not just fleeting sounds, but as reflections of the heart that shape lives and carry immense spiritual weight, capable of creation, destruction, healing, and judgment. Words have tangible consequences.

I bet you’ve heard this saying before: You can tell a lot about a person by the 8 most important people they share their life with. In essence, that means you are who you surround yourself with.

When my children were younger, I had guardrails on their beds. They were there as a precaution so that they would not fall out and harm themselves. I think sometimes we forget that Jesus warns us just as clearly as He makes promises to us.
