Why Rest Is Not Weakness

The world moves fast, but I’ve learned that taking life one day at a time is not weakness—it’s wisdom. I’m choosing to slow down and no longer live in burnout. Working, serving, and staying strong for too long without support slowly drains us in ways we don’t always notice.

We forget that even faith was never meant to be lived in exhaustion. I choose rest, and in doing so, I choose God. When I allow myself to be loved, I heal. And when I stop pushing through burnout, I see that grace carries me when I don’t have the strength.

Unshaken In The Storm

I have faced dread and felt the weight of shame. I have walked through storms that tried to break me, yet I did not bow. There were moments I fell, but the One who gave His life for me stood tall on my behalf.

He fought battles I couldn’t fight. He overcame what I couldn’t overcome. He reminded me that the victory was already won, because he had conquered the world.

In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33

Solace in A Chaotic World

Solace comes in quiet moments when we find a corner of calm within ourselves even amidst the chaos and noise. It’s a reminder that peace isn’t the absence of struggle but the strength to rise above it.

Spreading Love’s Light

I often sit down to reflect on the activities happening around me, whether at my job, among my family and friends, or in the world. It’s astounding how much toxicity exists in the world, yet amidst it all, there are still people who love genuinely.

If only we could cultivate more love in people’s lives—compassion for the less fortunate and a desire to encourage and support those who desperately need it. Love can change the world, one act at a time. Making it our mission to spread it far and wide and creating ripples of positivity can touch countless lives.

Great is the light of love, 

shining bright in the darkness,

Rippling through my soul, 

extending to those who seek happiness.

Dark forces swirl, 

seeking to consume the hearts of men,

But trounced upon by those who offer love again and again.

Facing Hard Truths

I remember when I was young and thought all sorts of religions and belief systems would ultimately lead us to God. Listening to a morning devotion through an application on my phone called “Glorify” reminded me of this bias in the world.

In the Bible, Jesus unequivocally declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). His life, death, and resurrection are understood to be the ultimate revelation of God’s love and grace. Faith in Jesus is the only means of reconciliation with God and eternal life.

In the vast expanse where shadows roam,
A voice echoes, clear as a bell’s tone.
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” it cries,
Guiding souls through darkness to brighter skies.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,
This truth endures.
With unwavering faith, we take each step,
In His love and mercy, we find our depth.

Let his guiding light make you whole.
For in Him alone, true freedom lies,
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” He cries.
