Pride and selfishness always lead to chaos. When we live for recognition or compete for attention, peace slips away. Jesus invites us to rest, not to race.

“Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct, he should show that his works are done in the gentleness that comes from wisdom.” James 3:13

Wisdom isn’t about experience or age. It’s seen in how we live. True wisdom serves and walks humbly, and reflects Christ in everyday choices.

"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:28

Jesus modeled humility and sacrificial love, showing that true greatness is found in serving others.

“But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.” - 1 Corinthians 6:17

When we are united with Jesus, we’re never cut off or left on our own—His Spirit lives in us. If you’re in Christ, lean on Him to guide you. If you’re searching, know God longs to be close to you too.

Today I saw two toddlers meet—complete strangers to each other just moments before. They ran around and chased each other with so much joy and laughter, then cried when it was time to part. Their joy felt like I caught a glimpse of God’s heart. His glory shines even in the small, simple, moments. ✨

“I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

If you’re following Christ, your help doesn’t come from shaky places or unreliable, temporary solutions—it comes from the Maker of the heavens, who never fails.

“Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”— Proverbs 16:24

Here’s some light for the day: Words can build up or tear down. Let’s choose to speak life, encouragement, and kindness to others and to ourselves.

God’s love is not distant, cold, or conditional—it reaches for us wherever we are. Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection made a way for anyone to be forgiven and receive eternal life. It’s not about earning favor or performing, it’s about trusting Jesus who already gave everything for you.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalm 34:18

We’re not meant to grow alone. The right people around us can challenge, encourage, and refine us into who God created us to be.

What we let into our hearts shapes our thoughts, words, and choices. Guarding your heart with God’s truth is an act of strength and freedom.✨

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. The peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭NLT

The peace Jesus gives isn’t ephemeral, fragile, or dependent on circumstances—it’s deeper than what the world can offer.

“Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”—Philippians 4:6

Jesus invites us to bring everything to Him in prayer—He listens, cares, and provides. ✨
