Find a book you can't put down. Treat it like a secret lover where you want to snatch quick moments throughout the day to connect.
If you don't feel that draw to the books you started, then let them go. There's no reason reading should feel like a chore. There are so many great choices.

Imagine feeling safe anywhere.
No categories, no judgment. Just love for people as they are, made in God’s image.
What if God’s love was enough to anchor you, wherever you are?
This is the freedom from fear and isolation that God offers—and it’s how we build a world where everyone belongs.

A shift can happen when we ask questions like:
🤔Why do I feel unsafe?
🤔 What fears shape my view of others?
🤔 How do I find belonging that isn’t tied to validation?
When we let God heal our past wounds, we can stop dividing categories of people into "safe" and "unsafe."

Do you retreat into safety? Sometimes, a retreat is needed, but some "safe" spaces can isolate us. If we linger too long, we may begin to divide the world into “safe” vs. “unsafe” categories of people and encourage distrust.
Worse, they crumble when faced with betrayal, scandal, or personal loss.

Authentic safety comes from a deeper peace and isn’t tied to external validation or controlled by others’ opinions.
It’s letting God’s love create a sense of belonging so strong that we can step into the world with curiosity and courage, even when we feel uncomfortable.

A woman with arms outstretched, face lifted in joy, surrounded by vibrant swirling colors of blue, yellow, and red, symbolizing freedom and divine light.
When I was younger, I often felt anxious and fearful. The world seemed threatening—safe places were rare. I clung to the few I had, retreating into what felt familiar. But God intervened, showing me safety isn’t a place—it’s a feeling we can carry with us wherever we go.
