GRACEFUL

Hosea 2:19-20 NLT“[19] I will make you my wife forever, showing you righteousness and justice, unfailing love and compassion. [20] I will be faithful to you and make you mine, and you will finally know me as the Lord.” A few weeks ago, I went shopping with my best friend of 14 years. She was…

Today I want to be completely honest with you. Yesterday, I spoke about knowing God as my protector, and that’s a truth I hold deeply in my heart. I have no doubt that God shields me. But there’s an area I really struggle with, and that’s accepting that God loves me. It’s not that I…

Growing up, modesty wasn’t something imposed on me—it was simply part of who I was. Even as a child, I didn’t like exposing my arms. My mum would wonder why, especially since she’d buy me lovely tops, but I would always layer them with sweaters. This habit wasn’t forced; it just felt more comfortable and…

A few days ago, I had a deep realisation about how the enemy tries to infiltrate our lives—through our thoughts. It struck me that the devil plants harmful ideas in our minds, feeding them until we start believing lies about ourselves. He twists our deepest insecurities into traps, using them to torment us, pushing us…

Psalm 119:101, 104, 118 (NLT) says,”I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your word.” “Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate every false way of life.” “But you have rejected all who stray from your decrees. They are only fooling themselves.” These verses resonated…

Unconditional love is love without requirements or conditions. It’s the kind of love that stands without needing a “because”—it simply exists. When we say, “I love you because…,” we attach our love to a specific reason. But with this approach, love becomes conditional, dependent on meeting expectations. For instance, if we love someone because they’re…

Psalm 116:3 says, “Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.” Have you ever felt gripped by fear, paralysed by racing thoughts, or overwhelmed by relentless worry? I’ve been there. There are times when anxiety feels like a trap, where every frightening thought the…

Worship music has always been more than just a collection of songs to me; it has been my refuge, my place of healing, and my way of connecting with God in moments of deep grief and brokenness. I first encountered this power when I lost my mother in a tragic car accident at the age…

Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT) is a beautiful reminder of Jesus’ invitation to exchange our burdens for His rest. He says, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart,…

Psalm 104:31 (NLT) says, “May the glory of the Lord continue forever! The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!” This verse touches me deeply. Can you imagine that the Creator of the universe takes pleasure in you? The God who shaped the stars, crafted the oceans, and breathed life into all creation is…
