The Gift of Being....A Life Set Before the Lord.

"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Dear someone,

Have you ever taken time to reflect on why God created you? Before you were born, you were not here. Yet God, in His wisdom and love, chose to bring you into this world at a specific time and for a specific purpose.

Have you ever wondered why you exist? Why God allowed you to live on the very day you were born? Why He made you who you are?

Perhaps you already know the answer, or you are still figuring it out. But one thing is certain, we were created to know God, honor Him, and serve Him.

The Life he gave us is a precious gift, and it is sad when we take the privilege of being alive for granted.

In Joshua 24:15, Joshua challenges the people of Israel, saying, "Choose this day whom you will serve." He then boldly declares, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." These words remind us that serving God is a choice that each of us must make every day.

Serving God can be in different ways. It can be shown through treating others with kindness, helping those in need, sharing His goodness, encouraging those who are struggling, and living a life that reflects Jesus Christ.

And The question is not only why God created us, but also how we are responding to the purpose for which He created us. Are we living for Him? Are we using the gifts, opportunities, and time He has given us to honor Him?

Dear someone, I hope you take a moment to reflect on your purpose and recognize that you were not created by accident. God created you for a reason, and He desires a relationship with you.

My prayer today is that God opens our eyes to see His purpose, our ears to hear His voice, and our hearts to follow Him. May we have the courage to make the same declaration that Joshua made.

In Knowing You, I am Alive

H ey Jesus, I’ve been thinking about the wonder of knowing You. how coming to You with an open heart is the best decision anyone can ever make! How it feels like stepping into light for the very first time. Life without You is quiet, like a song without its melody, a sky without dawn. Oh, sweet Jesus, thank You for finding us, for holding us when we could not hold ourselves. To come to You is to be changed. You love us as we are, not perfect, not polished, but raw, willing, searching. No one meets You and remains the same, Whoever touches Your heart is made new. You do not call the greatest. You lift the chosen, You strengthen the humble, You fill the broken. You heal the quiet hurts, comfort the restless soul, teach us how to walk in peace, and show us a life worth living. When we understand Your love, nothing can scare us, nothing can pull us away from you, literally nothing! They ask, “What happened to you? You’ve completely changed.” And I smile and say, ...

WRITTEN, NOT SPOKEN

I never imagined love could feel this intense from a distance. I didn’t even know you existed until the day my eyes met you and for a moment, my heart forgot how to be steady. If love at first sight exists, I thought, then maybe this was it. What I felt was unfamiliar. Quiet. Genuine. A kind of love that brought peace just by thinking of you. I didn’t know then whether it was real love, but I knew it was changing me. It changed how I thought. How I saw the world. And most importantly, it awakened something meaningful in me. Some might call it HEALING. I call it TRANSFORMATION. I often return to that first glance, wondering how something so brief could feel so deep. And yes, you could say this kind of love should be spoken but I found peace elsewhere. On paper. My pen kept moving, my ink holding the feeling with softness. This is where I placed what I felt not loudly, not to be seen, just honestly. When I tried to say it out loud, the words grew quieter. That’s when I understood:...

The Grace I Found in them

Hey dear reader, Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much of a blessing it truly is to have people in our lives. People who inspire us. People who cherish us. People who love us. People who bring change into our lives. It is such a treasure to have people around whom you can fully be yourself, laugh wholeheartedly, those who speak life into you and remind you of who you are. Please, never take such people lightly. Never intend to lose them. Recently, while talking to a friend, she said to me, “I appreciate you coming into my life.” And wow that touched my heart deeply. It made me pause and reflect on how empty life could feel without people around us. Without those who challenge us, walk with us through experiences, and help shape who we become. Let this be a reminder today to appreciate, thank, and cherish the people in your life. Because honestly speaking, life is people . And through people, we get to live out what Jesus Christ asked of us to love one another and t...
