Faithful Writers

When life spills over the rim, God doesn’t expect you to hold it all together. He steps in as the One who carries what you can’t.

Maybe the mirror isn’t your enemy. Maybe it’s been waiting for you to see what God’s been saying all along: you were never meant to chase perfection—you were meant to remember you are already wonderfully made.

Do you ever stop to think about the look on your face? Is it full of judgmental glares? Do you see yourself as better than others, never making a moment to offer a friendly hello or a nod someone’s way that you visibly watch their eyes light up, knowing they've been seen?

After years of criticism, the voice in your head begins to echo what others once spoke over you. But God’s truth has always been louder, waiting to replace every word that tried to break you.

If anyone else talked to me the way I talk to myself, I’d call it abuse. But when it’s my own voice, I pretend it’s “motivation.”

Forgiving yourself isn’t about minimizing your past—it’s about magnifying what Jesus did. God buried your guilt long ago; it’s time to stop digging it back up.

When the road stretches longer than you ever imagined, hope can start to flicker. Yet in the long middle, God is still present—teaching, shaping, and walking beside you every step of the way.

What if worry is just praying for something bad to happen? In this reflection on gratitude and faith, we learn to reframe anxiety through God’s promises of peace and purpose.

Happiness is tied to circumstances. But Joy? Joy is way deeper. Joy is an anchor. It comes from knowing the Lord is near, even when the storm rages on.

I survived what should have been an unsurvivable time. Broken moments became pieces of my story, and now I share them to give hope, reassurance, and courage to anyone who needs it.

As a believer, there are no coincidences. There may be incidents and events that are tragic, difficult, or shameful — but no matter what, God always works them for good. I know this to be true in my life.

“Probable carcinoma.” Two words that should have shattered me—but instead became the doorway to surrender, peace, and a reminder that faith isn’t shaken by fear, it’s refined by it.

Faith doesn’t erase brokenness; it meets us in it. This piece is for anyone who still feels the ache even after saying yes to God — a reminder that being unfinished doesn’t mean being unloved.

You don’t need to prove your value to people who only see fragments of your story. Your worth was settled long before anyone had an opinion

If you’ve ever whispered, “I should be further by now,” this is for you. Let go of comparison and rediscover peace in the journey God designed just for you.

I used to measure my value by what I accomplished. But when grades slip, careers stall, or energy fades, that foundation crumbles. Scripture shows us a better anchor: identity rooted in Christ, not achievement.

Faith isn’t fast food. Learn why Christian perseverance requires slow, steady growth — the kind of faith that deepens roots, resists shortcuts, and endures for a lifetime.

Grace doesn’t excuse sin—it empowers victory. Freedom begins when we stop running from God and start walking with Him daily, allowing His Spirit to renew our minds and reshape our desires.

Jesus never called perfect people. He built His kingdom through messy, flawed, everyday people — a reminder that there’s grace for the broken.

Overthinking isn’t just exhausting — it can slowly become a kind of worship. Here’s how surrendering your anxiety through prayer turns worry into peace.

Sometimes God’s voice isn’t loud—it’s felt through people, pain, and the quiet of peace. Are we listening closely enough to hear Him?

Spiritual maturity isn’t about stacking up theological bricks until you build an impenetrable wall. It’s more like planting a garden: alive, unpredictable, and in constant need of tending. Gardens change with the seasons. So does faith.

Jesus calls us to be the light of the world—even when it means standing out, facing mockery, or being misunderstood. It’s okay to be different for His sake.

David knew the math: the giant was bigger than him, but David plus God was bigger than the giant. Your battles aren’t won by size, but by perspective — because the giant is standing against God, not just you.
