You are not hidden.
You are not forgotten.

The same GOD who saw Hagar in the wilderness, crushed beneath affliction, is the God who sees you today (Genesis 16:13). He is El Roi, the GOD who sees.

Your tears are not wasted. Psalm 56:8 says He collects them in a bottle. Your sighs reach His throne (Romans 8:26), and your weariness is not beyond His mercy (Isaiah 40:29–31).

But don’t stop talking to Him. Don’t fall silent. In the pain, in the confusion, in the waiting — PRAY. Cry out like David in Psalm 34:17: “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.”

And listen. GOD’S direction is not found in noise, but in the still small voice of His Word (1 Kings 19:12). He will not lead you through feelings, dreams, or signs—but through Scripture. Open your Bible. Obey what you read. Trust what He says. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).

Don’t chase comfort. Chase Christ. He does not promise an easy road, but He does promise His presence (Matthew 28:20). So keep speaking to the One who sees all—and keep listening to the One whose Word never fails.

“Be still, and know that I am GOD.” — Psalm 46:10
He sees. He hears. He will direct. Don’t quit.

Do not mistake the building for the presence of GOD. The church walls may echo with hymns, but when you leave, do you still carry HIS Word in your heart? Scripture declares, “Do you not know that you are GOD’S temple and that the SPIRIT OF GOD dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16, ESV).

If you truly belong to CHRIST, then your life must bear the fragrance of HIS presence—holiness, obedience, humility, and love. GOD does not dwell where sin reigns, nor will HE share HIS temple with idols. HE calls you to be pure because HIS SPIRIT resides within you.

So do not go to church merely to “feel close to GOD.” Instead, live every moment aware that HE is already there—watching, sanctifying, and commanding your heart to glorify HIM. Let the world see that the GOD who once filled the temple now fills His people.

Lord, I COMMIT my plans to YOU, trusting YOU to guide my path.

Yet, how easily my heart forgets that to “commit” means to surrender—not to ask YOU to bless my way, but to follow YOUR way. Proverbs 16:3 commands, “Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.” But YOU establish only what aligns with YOUR holy will, not what feeds my pride or comfort.

Help me to remember that faith without obedience is presumption. YOU are not my consultant but my KING. May every plan, dream, and decision bow before YOUR wisdom. Direct my steps, even if YOU must overturn my desires to keep me in YOUR truth.

Because YOUR path is narrow, but it alone leads to life.

You will not impact the world merely by going to church every Sunday. Attendance alone does not shake the gates of Hell. The world will be changed when you BE the church—when you leave those doors and live as CHRIST’s hands and feet.

Faithful gathering is commanded, but GOD calls His people to more than ritual; HE calls us to obedience. The early believers “turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6) not because they attended, but because they embodied the Gospel everywhere they went.

So examine your heart: does your worship end when the benediction is given, or does it carry into your home, your work, your neighborhood? The world needs not more churchgoers—it needs the church, alive and holy, proclaiming the majesty of GOD through word and deed.

“Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22 (ESV)

To those who stood in the gap, defending freedom and preserving peace, we give thanks. But let us remember: the truest honor is not merely in the medals or memories, but in recognizing that every act of courage reflects the image of GOD — WHO is the source of all strength, justice, and sacrifice.

May we never forget that our freedom, both earthly and eternal, is costly.
Many gave their lives for our nation, but only CHRIST gave HIS life to redeem our souls.

Respect and gratitude to every veteran — and glory to GOD, WHO reigns forever.

True freedom is not the right to do whatever we please—it is the power to do what is right before GOD. Scripture declares, “For you were bought with a price. So glorify GOD in your body” (1 Corinthians 6:20, ESV).

Freedom always comes at a cost. The freedoms we enjoy in our nations were purchased through the sacrifice of others—but the freedom of the soul was purchased through the blood of CHRIST. The Son of GOD bore the wrath we deserved so that we might be freed from sin’s chains. “If the SON sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36, ESV).

Yet this freedom is not a license to sin; it is a call to holiness. “Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of GOD” (1 Peter 2:16, ESV).
So remember—the cross was the battlefield where our eternal liberty was won. Freedom is never free. CHRIST paid it all. Therefore, let us live not for ourselves, but for HIM who died and rose again.

One Nation Under GOD

We remember that this land stands only because of GOD’s sovereign mercy. The freedoms we cherish were never won by human might alone but granted by HIS providence. A nation truly “under GOD” must bow before HIS Word, repent of sin, and seek righteousness—for “Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD” (Psalm 33:12).

A Thank You to Veterans

To those who served—thank you. Your courage, sacrifice, and steadfastness mirror a glimpse of the selfless love that CHRIST displayed when HE laid down HIS life for HIS friends (John 15:13). May the LORD bless you and keep you, and may this nation remember that every freedom defended finds its truest meaning only when it is surrendered to GOD.

8 BILLION SOULS. ONE GREAT NEED: JESUS.

Every face you see today bears the image of GOD. Every heart beats because HE wills it. Yet every soul is stained by sin and stands guilty before a HOLY GOD. Wealth cannot buy forgiveness. Religion cannot erase guilt. Good deeds cannot cleanse a single sin.

Only JESUS CHRIST — GOD in the flesh, crucified, risen, and reigning — can save. HE alone bore the wrath of GOD that sinners deserve. HE alone conquered death. HE alone offers peace with GOD to all who repent and believe.

Eight billion people share one desperate condition: separation from GOD.

And there is only one sufficient Savior: JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD.
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12 (ESV)

GOD never excuses the sins committed against you—but He absolutely forbids that you respond to sin with sin. That’s not justice. That’s rebellion.
When others wrong you—lie about you, betray you, mistreat you—it hurts. But pain doesn’t justify sin. Retaliation. Bitterness. Gossip. Vengeance. These aren’t righteous responses. They are violations of GOD’s holy law.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21, ESV
“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of GOD…” — Romans 12:19
You are never called to mirror sin—you’re called to mortify it.
Jesus Christ, the sinless One, was slandered, beaten, mocked, crucified. But He never reviled in return (1 Peter 2:23). And if you belong to Him, He commands you to follow His pattern—not the world’s.
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as GOD in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32
Harboring unforgiveness is sin. Retaliating with anger is sin. Manipulating, cursing, withdrawing love—these are your sins, not theirs. And GOD will hold you accountable for them.
You’re not a victim when you choose to sin—you’re a rebel.
But here's the good news: You don’t need to remain in bondage. Christ died not only to forgive you, but to set you free from sin’s grip. Repent. Confess. Ask for a heart so full of Christ that no offense could provoke you to evil.
You are responsible before GOD for every word, thought, and action—regardless of who sinned first.
So don’t let someone else’s sin drag you into hell. Rise above it by the power of the Holy Spirit. Honor Christ. Crucify the flesh. Love your enemies. Trust GOD to judge justly.
“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you…” — Ephesians 4:31
Don’t let sin against you produce sin in you. It’s not just a bad choice—it’s rebellion against the holy GOD who sees all, knows all, and calls you to be holy as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16).
Repent. Forgive. Walk in holiness.
GOD is watching. And GOD will judge.

I had exhausted every self-made identity. I buried myself in sin, shame, and silence. I chased the fleeting pleasures of this world—only to find emptiness at the end of every road. My prayers had become hollow. My heart? Cold. I was tired of pretending. Tired of failing. Tired of trying to fix myself. I looked in the mirror and saw a rebel, a hypocrite, a failure. I was done with me.
BUT GOD WASN’T.
GOD, the One I sinned against—rich in mercy, abounding in steadfast love—was not done.
GOD, who knew my heart and every secret shame, still pursued me.
GOD, who should have cast me into judgment, stepped into my wreckage with redeeming grace.
GOD, who owed me nothing, gave me everything in CHRIST.
I was dead in my trespasses—BUT GOD made me alive (Ephesians 2:1–5).
I had no righteousness of my own—BUT GOD made Him who knew no sin to be sin on my behalf (2 Corinthians 5:21).
I deserved wrath—BUT GOD poured it on His Son instead (Isaiah 53:5–6).
I had no strength—BUT GOD upheld me with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
I walked away—BUT GOD sought and bought me with blood (1 Peter 1:18–19).
So no, I don’t stand today because of willpower or worth. I stand because GOD refused to leave me in the grave I dug for myself.
When I was done with me,
GOD was just getting started.
Because where sin increased,
GRACE ABOUNDED ALL THE MORE (Romans 5:20).
Repent. Surrender. Return.
Because GOD ISN’T DONE WITH YOU EITHER

STOP TRYING TO FIT IN.
You were never meant to blend with the darkness when the HOLY GHOST inside you is a BURNING FIRE.
If you are truly indwelt by the SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD, then compromise is not just disobedience—it is betrayal.
The world wants your silence, your conformity, your loyalty to its passing trends and fleeting applause. But GOD did not save you so you could be popular.
He saved you to be HOLY (1 Peter 1:15-16).
He set you apart to PROCLAIM HIS EXCELLENCIES (1 Peter 2:9),
not to echo the empty noise of a dying world.
GOD’S fire does not flicker in the wind of culture—it CONSUMES everything that is not of Him (Hebrews 12:29).
So why are you still chasing relevance, when GOD demands righteousness?
The HOLY SPIRIT inside you is not a whisper of suggestion—it is the POWER that raised JESUS CHRIST from the dead (Romans 8:11).
It does not call you to "fit in"—it COMMANDS you to stand out.
Bold. Unashamed. Different. Holy.
If the world can't tell you're a Christian, maybe you're not living like one (2 Corinthians 6:17).
You are the LIGHT OF THE WORLD—not a chameleon in the shadows (Matthew 5:14–16).
Stop dimming the flame to avoid offense.
Stop apologizing for truth that saves.
Stop being lukewarm—because GOD spits that out (Revelation 3:16).
Repent of the craving for worldly approval.
Repent of shrinking back when the cross demands your witness.
Let the HOLY GHOST BURN AWAY every desire to blend in.
Let Him set your soul on fire to glorify GOD alone.
Because if the fire of GOD is in you... it was never meant to be hidden.
🔥
JEREMIAH 20:9
"If I say, ‘I will not mention Him, or speak any more in His name,’
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot."

STAND OUT.
BURN BRIGHT.
FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

Discontentment is the murky pond where SATAN casts his line. When we fix our eyes on what we lack instead of WHO GOD IS and WHAT HE HAS GIVEN, we invite the enemy to whisper lies—lies that GOD is not enough, HIS grace insufficient, HIS providence unwise. This was the same bait SATAN used in Eden, sowing doubt in the heart of Eve: “Did GOD actually say…?” (GENESIS 3:1).

A discontented heart forgets that every circumstance flows from the sovereign hand of GOD for our good and HIS glory (ROMANS 8:28). Gratitude and trust drain the waters where SATAN would fish; complaint and envy keep them stirred.

Therefore, resist the devil by resting in the goodness of GOD. Cast your cares upon HIM, for HE cares for you (1 PETER 5:7). Let your soul be satisfied in CHRIST alone, and the adversary will find no bait that lures you away from joy in GOD.
