Valentine’s Day has a way of stirring up all kinds of emotions. For some, it’s a day of celebration and connection. For others, it’s a reminder of loss, loneliness, or unmet expectations. No matter where we are on the emotional spectrum, Valentine’s Day offers us a beautiful opportunity. It allows us to pause and remember […]
Navigating Doubt: Is God Real?

Every generation wrestles with the same ancient question: Is God real? For some, the question rises from intellectual curiosity. For others, it comes from deep pain, disappointment, or a sense that God feels distant. Doubt isn’t new, and it certainly isn’t a sign of weak faith. In fact, Scripture shows us that doubt is often […]

“Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” Colossians 3:13 (NKJV) Forgiveness is one of the hardest expressions of love—and one of the most powerful. It’s easy to hold onto hurt, replay the offense, or justify our resentment. […]
Love That Serves

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 (NKJV) Love is not proven by words alone. It is demonstrated through service. Jesus didn’t just talk about love—He embodied it. He washed feet. He fed the hungry. He […]
Love That Listens

“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” James 1:19 (NKJV) One of the most overlooked expressions of love is listening. Not hearing—listening. Hearing is passive. Listening is intentional. It says, “You matter. Your words matter. Your heart matters.” In a world full of noise, […]

“We love Him because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 (NKJV) The week leading up to Valentine’s Day has begun. It’s easy to think of love as something we generate on our own. We might believe it is something we muster up, improve, or perfect. But Scripture reminds us that love doesn’t start with […]

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 (NKJV) After a week of learning to trust, surrender, and obey, we arrive at a beautiful promise: hope. Not wishful thinking, not vague optimism—biblical hope. […]
Walking in Obedience

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) Trust leads to surrender, and surrender leads to obedience. Once we place our lives in God’s hands, we begin to walk in the direction He illuminates. God rarely shows us the entire path; instead, He gives us just […]
The Freedom of Surrender

“Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) If trust is the foundation, surrender is the doorway. Many of us trust God in theory but struggle to surrender in practice. We carry burdens we were never meant to hold—worry, pressure, expectations, and the quiet fear that everything depends […]
Learning to Trust Again

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV) Trust is rarely built in a single moment. More often, it grows through repeated choices. These are the small, steady decisions to lean on God. Our instincts might tell us to rely on ourselves. Many of us […]
