"Commit thy works unto the Lord......."

As life’s journey unfolds, I have come to realize that I can do nothing without the help, guidance, and direction of the One who created me. I have failed woefully on my own.

There were days I woke up and decided to handle things by myself. I relied on my wisdom, my strength, and my understanding. But when I saw the resultsdisappointments, setbacks, and frustration, I became angry. I rebelled. At one point, I completely gave up. I entered a season of “whatever happens, happens.” I no longer cared to plan or put in effort. I let everything slide. Depression crept in. Isolation became my new normal. I withdrew from people and from life itself.

But in the midst of it all, God reminded me of something profound: "I am nothing without Him". Even before I was formed, He knew me. He knew my strengths, my weaknesses, my desires, my struggles—everything. He knows me more than I know myself.

This is why it is so important to commit everything to God our dreams, our plans, our daily tasks, even the seemingly little things. Nothing is too small or insignificant for God’s attention. Sometimes, things don’t work out for us simply because we never truly committed them to Him. Other times, even when we pray about something, God may not allow it to happen because it is not His will. And God's will is always the best for us, even when we don't understand it in the moment.

We must learn to trust that God’s plan is far greater than anything we can imagine. When we surrender our works to Him, He establishes our steps. He aligns our desires with His purpose. And even when things don’t go the way we expect, we can rest, knowing that His perfect will is unfolding in our lives.

So, no matter what you’re facing today, take it to God. Trust Him with every detail, both big and small. Let Him lead, and you will never be lost.

Don't be afraid to start Over.......

Do Not Be Afraid to Start Over Have you ever felt like you’ve lost everything—your plans fell apart, your dreams seemed unreachable, or your past mistakes left you feeling unworthy? Starting over can be terrifying. It feels like failure, like you’re back at square one. But what if I told you that starting over is not a setback but a setup for something greater? The Bible is filled with stories of people who had to start over, and in doing so, they stepped into God’s divine plan. Whether it's in your career, relationships, spiritual walk, or even your prayer life, God is always calling us forward into something new. 1. God Restores What Was Lost "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten..." — Joel 2:25 Whatever you’ve lost—time, opportunities, relationships, finances—God is a God of restoration. When He calls you to start over, He doesn’t leave you empty. He fills you with something new, something better. Trust that your past losses...

FORGIVE THAT YOU MAY ALSO BE FORGIVEN

Image
At the heart of the gospel is a Savior who looked at our sins countless, undeserved, and painful and still chose to forgive. That’s grace: undeserved favor, unearned love, and mercy freely given.   Yet, as much as we love receiving grace, extending it to others through forgiveness is often a struggle. We want justice. We want apologies. We want to hold onto our pain because it feels like a safeguard against being hurt again. But grace calls us higher. Grace calls us to forgive.   What Forgiveness Looks Like Through Grace 1. Grace Forgives Freely:   Just as Jesus forgave us before we ever repented (Romans 5:8), we are called to extend forgiveness, even when it isn’t asked for or deserved.   2. Grace Sees Beyond the Offense:  Forgiveness doesn’t excuse sin, but it does see the person beyond the mistake, just as God sees us.   3. Grace Lets Go of the Right to Retaliate : It is human to want payback, but grace says, *"I rel...

GRACE UNDILUTED

Grace Undiluted: What It Really Means to Live in God’s Grace Have you ever felt like you had to “earn” God’s love? Like you needed to check off a list of good deeds before you could truly be accepted? I’ve been there too. But the beauty of grace is this: we don’t have to work for it—it’s already freely given. Welcome to Grace Undiluted —a space where we strip grace of all the extra baggage we’ve attached to it and experience it as God intended. No striving, no guilt—just the pure, life-changing love of Jesus. What is God’s Grace? Grace is one of those words we hear in church all the time, but do we really understand it? The Bible defines grace in Ephesians 2:8-9 : "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." In other words, grace is God’s undeserved favor —His love, mercy, and forgiveness poured out on us, not because we are perfect, but because He is. Think of it...
