December 19th 2025 – Embracing Truth, not Lies

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“Woe to those who devise iniquity and work out evil on their beds! At the break of dawn, they practice it, for it is in their power. They covet fields and seize them by violence, as well as houses, and take them. They oppress a person and their home, a person and their inheritance.” (Micah 1:1-2)

Reflection:

In this verse, we see a reflection of those in power exploiting the vulnerable, a reality that feels all too familiar in our current landscape. Very recent, we witnessed leaders who, through lies and manipulation, sought to advance their own agendas at the expense of our nation’s well-being. They wielded their political clout like a weapon, disregarding the truth and the people they were called to serve. Such actions not only undermine trust but also threaten the very fabric of our society.

Are you a leader in government, business, or even within your community? Do you find yourself leveraging the system to benefit yourself? It’s essential to examine our hearts: do we sometimes exploit our relationships with family, friends, or colleagues for personal gain? In a world where manipulation can often seem like a shortcut to success, we must remember that exploiting others is never justifiable. God does not bless actions rooted in deception and selfishness.

“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Even when it feels as though bending the truth is the only way forward, God provides an escape. Taking responsibility for our actions is vital to living as a true disciple. God honors our willingness to own our mistakes, even in challenging circumstances. It’s a call to live authentically and to model integrity, even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.

Reflect on the leaders who used lies and power to nearly bring our nation to its knees. Their actions remind us of the urgent need for integrity and truthfulness in leadership. We must ask ourselves: How far will we follow Jesus in our relationships and responsibilities? Is our commitment only strong when it’s easy, or are we also willing to uphold our values when it becomes painful or costly? Will we choose personal gain, or will we lay down our lives for the sake of the Gospel, standing firmly for truth and justice?

“One characteristic of a Godly leader is to do what is Biblical, even when it leads to personal hardship.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unwavering love and the transformative work You continue to do in my life. I am grateful for Your grace and mercy, which sustain me daily. You have called me to live as a disciple, and I choose to honor You by embodying the model You have set before me.

Lord, as we navigate a world rife with deception and turmoil, I ask for Your guidance and strength. Grant me the courage to uphold Your Truth in every situation, even when it seems difficult. Help me to inspire others through my actions and words, reflecting Your love and integrity in all my relationships.

I lift up our country and the free world to You. In a time where lies and manipulation threaten our unity and values, I pray that we collectively turn our hearts toward You. May our leaders seek Your wisdom and guidance in their decisions, prioritizing truth and justice over personal gain. Inspire a movement of repentance and humility among us, drawing us closer to Your will.

Lord, we are in desperate need of revival. I pray that our nation and the world recognize their need for You. May hearts soften, and may eyes be opened to the truth of the Gospel. Let us seek Your face earnestly, turning away from the paths of deception that lead to destruction.

Help us to be a light in the darkness, standing firm in our faith and proclaiming Your name boldly. Empower us to lay down our lives for the sake of the Gospel, demonstrating Your love to those around us. May we find strength in unity, working together to promote justice and mercy in a world that desperately needs both.

In these challenging times, remind us that our hope lies in You alone. May we trust in Your promises and lean on Your understanding, knowing that You provide a way forward even when the path seems unclear.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer. May Your will be done in our lives, our country, and the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

December 18th 2025 – Transformed by His Word: A Journey of Faith

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“Until I come, focus on reading, encouragement, and teaching.” (1 Timothy 4:13)

Reflection:

God’s Word has the power to transform every aspect of our lives. When we dive into the Hebrew Scriptures, we uncover the rich history of our world, the stories of God’s people, and His incredible strength. The Gospels reveal Jesus—His identity and the profound impact of His sacrifice. As we explore Acts and the epistles, we learn about community, church life, and the hope that awaits us. One of the greatest gifts of Scripture is the journey from who we are before knowing Jesus to who we can become through Him.

Reflecting on the Bible gives us an honest look at our humanity. We often find ourselves broken, lost, and in need of redemption. Recognizing our flaws leads us to the Savior, where we discover forgiveness and grace. This grace isn’t just a one-time gift; it’s an ongoing journey. We may be seen as perfect in God’s eyes, but navigating life in a broken world is a challenge. That’s where Scripture becomes our guide, showing us how to live with purpose and the strength to embody Christ-like love. These truths work together, shaping us gradually into the likeness of Jesus. God knew us before we existed, and His steadfast love remains constant. He not only offers us love through forgiveness but also equips us with His Word to navigate life’s complexities.

“Lord, you have searched me and know me… Your knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain!” (Psalm 139:16)

“God desires to amaze you with His intimate understanding of who you are.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for knowing every detail of my life and for loving me unconditionally. You see my struggles and my victories, and yet, You continue to extend Your grace. I am awed by the depth of Your understanding. Help me to embrace Your Word more deeply, that I may find wisdom and guidance in every situation I face.

As I navigate the challenges of life, remind me of Your promises and the hope I have in You. Teach me to reflect Your love in my actions and words, and empower me to be a light to those around me. I long to grow closer to You, to live in a way that honors Your sacrifice, and to share the good news of Your grace with others. Thank You for the gift of salvation and for the journey You’ve set before me. I cherish You and look forward to an abundant life filled with Your presence. In Your precious and glorious name, Amen.

Discover the Path to Transformation:

If you’ve felt the pull of God’s Word and are ready to embrace the love and grace that Jesus offers, you’re not alone. Many have found hope, healing, and a renewed purpose through a relationship with Him. Just as the Scriptures guide us to understand our true selves, they also lead us to the Savior who can transform our lives.

December 8th 2025 – From Denial to Destiny: The Transformative Grace of God

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“But Peter said, ‘Man, I do not know what you are saying!’ Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, ‘Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.’ So Peter went out and wept bitterly.” (Luke 22:60-62)

Reflection:

In a moment of weakness, Peter, also known as Cephas, faced a profound failure. He had walked alongside Jesus, witnessing miracles that defied nature, yet in the critical hour, he denied knowing his Savior. If anyone had the right to feel unworthy of God’s love, it was Peter. Yet, in his deepest remorse, something beautiful emerged – the promise of restoration.

Jesus did not turn away from Peter in his shame. Instead, He sought him out, offering grace where Peter expected condemnation. This truth resonates deeply within my heart. God’s Word is raw and real, filled with the stories of imperfect individuals who faltered yet found redemption. It reminds us that our failures do not disqualify us from His love; rather, they open the door for His grace to shine even brighter.

As Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:7, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” We are fragile vessels, cracked and broken, yet it is in those very imperfections that God’s power is revealed. Peter’s journey didn’t end in denial; it transformed into a testimony of faith and courage. He went on to boldly proclaim the Gospel, enduring trials and tribulations for the sake of Christ.

Reflect on your own life. Where have you felt unworthy? Where have you stumbled? Remember, God chooses the flawed and the weary to carry His message. Your cracks allow His light to shine through, illuminating the path for others.

“In our moments of deepest failure, God’s grace transforms our denial into destiny, reminding us that our imperfections are the very vessels through which His love shines brightest.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your boundless love and grace. Thank You for the example of Peter, a man who stumbled yet found restoration in Your arms. In our moments of failure and doubt, remind us that we are never beyond the reach of Your mercy. Help us to see that just like Peter, our imperfections can become a canvas for Your powerful work in our lives.

Lord, we confess that there are times when we have denied You, whether through our actions, our words, or our silence. We ask for Your forgiveness for those moments when we have turned away from You, especially in our struggles. May Your Spirit stir within us a deep desire to return to You, to seek Your face and restoration.

As we reflect on our own journeys, help us to embrace our vulnerabilities, knowing that they are not a hindrance but a testimony of Your grace at work within us. Teach us to trust in Your plan, even when we feel unworthy or inadequate. May we find strength in our weakness, allowing Your light to shine through our cracks and imperfections, drawing others to You.

Empower us to boldly share our stories of redemption and hope with those around us. Help us to lead others to You, showing them that they too can find grace and restoration, no matter where they are in their journey. May we be vessels of Your love, reflecting Your truth into a world that so desperately needs it.

We thank You for the promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us. May we walk confidently in that truth, ready to fulfill the calling You have placed on our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

October 9th 2025 – The Greatest Man in History – Jesus

2 Replies

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

As we reflect on the life of Jesus, we are drawn into the profound mystery of His existence. The greatest man in history, He walked among us with humility and grace, defying the expectations of the world. Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master. His authority did not stem from position or privilege but from the depth of His love and the truth of His teachings. He served others, washing the feet of His disciples, teaching us that true leadership is found in service.

He held no formal degrees, yet they called Him Teacher. The wisdom He imparted transcended human understanding. With parables and profound insights, He revealed the heart of God, inviting us into a relationship that transforms and uplifts. Each lesson was a gentle call to seek the Kingdom of Heaven, a promise that it is within reach for all who believe.

Though He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. In a world filled with pain and brokenness, Jesus brought restoration and hope. With a mere touch or a spoken word, He healed the sick, restored sight to the blind, and raised the dead. His compassion knew no bounds, reminding us that healing goes beyond the physical; it is also the restoration of the soul.

Jesus had no army, yet kings feared Him. His influence was not wielded through force or coercion but through love and truth. He challenged the powerful and stood with the marginalized, showing us that real strength lies in vulnerability and righteousness. His very presence unsettled those who clung to their thrones of power, for He embodied a kingdom that turned worldly expectations upside down.

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. Through His sacrificial love and resurrection, Jesus triumphed over sin and death. The cross, once a symbol of shame, became a beacon of hope. In His victory, He offers us eternal life, inviting us to share in the spoils of His grace.

He did not live in a castle, yet they called Him Lord. Jesus was born in a humble manger, yet His reign is universal. He teaches us that greatness is not found in wealth or status but in love and sacrifice. Our hearts find their true home in submission to His Lordship.

He ruled no nations, yet they called Him King. The Kingdom of God is not of this world, yet it is a reality that we can experience now. Jesus invites us to live as citizens of this Kingdom, reflecting His character and love in all we do.

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. The innocence of Christ highlights the depth of human sin and the necessity of His sacrifice. In our darkest moments, we are reminded that He bore our sins, offering us forgiveness and reconciliation with the Father.

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. The stone was rolled away, and the tomb was empty. This is the cornerstone of our faith—the resurrection. Jesus is alive, and because He lives, we too have hope. We are called to share this hope with a world that desperately needs to know that love conquers all, and that in Christ, we are made new.

As we meditate on these truths, let us respond with hearts full of gratitude. May we strive to follow His example, live in His love, and share the good news of His life, death, and resurrection with everyone we encounter.

“In the quiet strength of His humility, Jesus reveals the true essence of greatness: to love, to serve, and to rise above the world’s expectations, showing us that in surrender, we find our true identity.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, As we come before You in prayer, we are filled with awe and gratitude for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You for sending Him into our world, not with the trappings of power or prestige, but as a humble servant who taught us the depths of Your love and grace.

Lord, help us to embrace the example set by Jesus. Teach us to lead with humility, to serve those around us, and to share His wisdom with eager hearts. May we be vessels of His healing, bringing hope and restoration to those who are hurting, just as He did.

We acknowledge that in a world often driven by ambition and competition, true greatness lies in love and sacrifice. Help us to reflect the character of Christ in our daily lives, standing up for the marginalized and speaking truth to power, even when it challenges us.

Thank You for the victory of the cross, for the hope we find in the resurrection. May we live in the light of this truth, sharing the good news of Your love with those who need to hear it. Fill us with the courage to proclaim that Jesus lives, and in Him, we have new life.

As we navigate our days, guide our hearts to seek You above all else. May our lives be a testament to Your grace, and may we continually strive to grow in our relationship with You, drawing strength from the love of our Savior. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen

If you feel a stirring in your heart and are ready to experience the transformative love of Jesus, we invite you to take a step of faith. Accepting Jesus into your life is the most profound decision you can make. He longs to have a personal relationship with you, offering forgiveness, hope, and purpose.Are you ready to invite Him in?

October 6th 2025 – Wells Without Water

1 Reply

“These are wells without water, clouds carried by a tempest, for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” (2 Peter 2:17)

In 2 Peter, the apostle Peter reveals the sobering reality of false teachers. He describes them as “wells without water”—a powerful metaphor for those who claim to offer the Truth of God but provide nothing of substance. Imagine seekers approaching these wells, eager for spiritual nourishment, only to find them dry and disappointing.

The truth is, God longs to offer us His living water and to cultivate a fruitful life within us. This begins with connecting to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. This connection is not merely a religious ritual; it is a transformative relationship. Jesus articulated it beautifully:

“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)

As we invest time in prayer, immerse ourselves in His Word, and engage with His people, we tap into the deep, life-giving well of the Lord Jesus Christ. His well overflows, inviting us to drink deeply and quench our thirst permanently.

“Without Jesus Christ, our lives will be fruitless and unfulfilled.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a grateful heart, thanking You for the refreshing water of life that is found in Jesus. I recognize that in a world filled with distractions and false promises, only You can quench my deepest thirst. Lord, I long to connect with You more deeply, to draw from the well of Your love and grace each day.

Help me to carve out time to sit in Your presence, to read Your Word, and to seek Your guidance through prayer. May Your Spirit fill me with a hunger for Your truth and a desire to share it with others. Let the living water flow from my heart, nourishing those around me and drawing them closer to You.

Father, I ask that You empower me to be a fruitful worker in Your Kingdom. Fill me to overflowing with Your love, joy, and peace, so that I can reflect Your light in a world that desperately needs it. May my life be a testament to Your goodness and grace, and may I always point others to the well that never runs dry. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

September 30th 2025 – Good vs Evil, Pick Your Side

Leave a reply

“Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?” (Luke 12:51-56)

As we reflect on the words of Jesus in Luke 12, we are reminded that His mission was not merely to bring peace, but to create a clear choice between good and evil. Jesus spoke of division, and as we look around us today, it is evident that this division continues to manifest in our world, especially in the realm of politics and morality.

The current political landscape reveals a struggle that echoes the division Jesus described. Many voices claim that division is a negative force, yet, as believers, we must recognize that standing for God’s principles often leads to separation from those who oppose them. We are witnessing a moment in history where the lines are being drawn—not just between political parties, but between the fundamental values of good and evil.

Consider the man who stands before us, who ran for the highest office in the land, using his own resources, facing relentless opposition from those in power. This is not merely about one individual, but about the broader implications of where we, as a society, choose to align ourselves. You may have observed family members and friends shifting their political allegiances, reflecting a deeper awakening to the issues at hand. This is not just a matter of red versus blue; it is a spiritual battle manifesting in our everyday lives.

In these times, we have seen muiltple attempts on the life of this man, revealing the lengths to which some will go to maintain the status quo. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, It is a stark reminder that the battle between good and evil is very real and present in all of our lives. The division Jesus spoke of is not just theoretical; it is alive and impacting our lives today.

As Christians, we must discern the policies and practices that align with God’s laws. This is a call to examine where we stand—not just politically, but morally and spiritually. Are we choosing to support what aligns with the heart of God? Are we recognizing that our votes carry the weight of our values?

While it is easy to critique individuals, the true challenge lies in understanding the broader choice we face: to stand for God’s laws or against them. The current climate is a reflection of this spiritual battle. The Republican party may not be perfect, but there is a growing recognition among many that its core principles align more closely with biblical values than those of the opposing side.

As we meditate on today’s scripture, let us ask ourselves: Are we interpreting the signs of our time with clarity? Are we willing to make a stand, even if it means facing division? Jesus’ call is clear. He invites us to choose Him, to stand for righteousness, and to be lights in a world that desperately needs it.

Let us pray for wisdom and courage as we navigate these challenging times. May we always seek to align ourselves with the truth and stand firm in our faith, knowing that the battle between good and evil is ultimately won by our Lord.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging the complexities of our times. Thank You for the gift of Your Word, which guides us and illuminates our path. As we reflect on the division Jesus spoke of, we recognize the reality of the spiritual battle that surrounds us.

Lord, we ask for discernment in these challenging days. Help us to see clearly the choices before us—between good and evil, between Your ways and the ways of the world. Grant us the wisdom to recognize the signs of our times, and the courage to stand firm in our faith.

May Your Holy Spirit fill us with the strength to uphold Your biblical standards and principles, even when faced with opposition. Help us to be beacons of Your light, reflecting Your love and truth in a world that often feels dark and divided.

We pray for our leaders, that they may seek Your guidance in their decisions. May their hearts be turned toward righteousness and justice, aligning their actions with Your will.

As we navigate our relationships, help us to engage in conversations rooted in love and understanding. Let our words and actions be a testament to our commitment to You, drawing others closer to Your embrace.

Lord, we ask for healing in our families and communities, where division has taken root. Bring reconciliation where there is strife, and unity where there is discord.

We place our trust in You, knowing that ultimately, You are sovereign over all. May we remain steadfast in our commitment to righteousness, standing boldly for Your truth, even when it is unpopular. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

September 27th 2025 – The Unfolding of Biblical Prophecy

Leave a reply

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

In our ever-changing world, the Bible stands as a timeless beacon of truth. The prophecies contained within its pages are not merely historical records; they are living truths that resonate with our current experiences. As we witness the tumultuous events unfolding around us—natural disasters, societal upheaval, moral decay and now the recent news of a possible war with Russia—it becomes increasingly clear that the words of Scripture are coming to fruition.

The prophets of old spoke of a time when the hearts of many would grow cold (Matthew 24:12) and when nations would rise against nations (Matthew 24:7). Each day, we see these signs manifesting in ways that stir our hearts and minds. Yet, amidst this chaos, there is a profound message of hope: Jesus Christ is our anchor in the storm, our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).

This is a call to action, a divine invitation to draw closer to Him. If you have not yet established a relationship with Jesus, don’t wait until it’s too late. The time to get right with the Lord is now. The Scriptures remind us that today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Imagine living in the assurance that you are loved, forgiven, and destined for eternity with Christ. The beauty of the Gospel is that no matter how far we may have strayed, His arms are always open wide, ready to receive us. He wants to transform our lives, offering us not just a way out of our current struggles but a new life filled with purpose and joy.

“Embrace the unfolding of God’s prophecy with an open heart, for in every sign of His promise, there lies the invitation to draw closer to Jesus and experience the transformative power of His love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with grateful hearts, acknowledging Your sovereignty and faithfulness. As we witness the unfolding of Your prophetic word in our world, we are reminded of the urgency to stand firm in our faith. Help us to discern the times and to remain steadfast in our commitment to You.

Lord, ignite a passion within us to share Your truth and love with those around us. May we be bold witnesses of Your grace, reflecting Your light in a world that often feels dark and chaotic. Strengthen our resolve to seek You daily in prayer and in Your Word, growing deeper in our relationship with You.

As we navigate these challenging times, grant us wisdom and courage to hold fast to our hope in Christ. Help us to be a source of encouragement to one another, reminding each other of Your promises and the eternal future we have in You.

Thank You for the gift of salvation and the assurance that You are with us always. May our lives be a testament to Your love and a beacon of hope for those who are lost. We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.

If you feel a stirring in your heart and desire to know Jesus personally, I invite you to pray this prayer.

Salvation Prayer:

“Dear Jesus, I come to You today recognizing my need for You. I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again, conquering death so that I might have eternal life. I ask for Your forgiveness and invite You to be my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow You and to grow in my relationship with You. Thank You for Your love and for the gift of salvation. In Your holy name, I pray, Amen.”

August 29th 2025 – Keep Looking Up

1 Reply

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)

In today’s world, it often feels like we are facing an endless wave of challenges. From natural disasters to political upheaval, economic instability to social unrest, the headlines can be overwhelming. For many, these events evoke fear and uncertainty. If this world is all there is and it’s clearly unpredictable and broken, how can anyone find hope? Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to view these circumstances through a different lens—a biblical perspective that offers clarity and assurance.

Jesus warned us about tribulations. Scripture reminds us that due to sin, our world is indeed affected by brokenness and chaos. But here’s the good news: this is not the final chapter. Yes, we see the evidence of a fallen world in the rise of natural disasters and tragedies that echo throughout history, much like the horrific events we witnessed on 9/11. Yes, these occurrences may intensify as we approach the culmination of time. BUT, this is not the end.

When calamity strikes, look up. When you see suffering around the globe, look up. When you experience personal grief or loss, look up. When you observe society and governments turning away from God, look up—because your redemption is drawing near. In the end, Jesus will put an end to all suffering. He will restore and heal this fractured world. Until that day arrives, we are called to lift our heads high and proclaim the peace that is found in Jesus. While sin has caused these issues, we hold fast to the truth that Jesus will ultimately resolve them.

In these trying times, let us not only look up but also extend our hands to those who may feel lost. Share the hope you have in Christ with others, reminding them that even in the darkest moments, there is light to be found.

“No matter what the future holds, we can know WHO holds the future.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace and the unshakeable peace I can have through Jesus. Help me to trust You in every situation, no matter how difficult it may seem. Each time I encounter the pain and suffering of this world, remind me to look up and find solace in the promise of Your return. Fill my heart with boldness to share this hope with others, so they too may experience Your love and healing. May Your Spirit guide me to be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your grace and truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

August 26th 2025 – The Apple Seed

Leave a reply

“Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.” (1 Corinthians 15:36)

God is an incredibly creative force in our lives. In His infinite wisdom, He not only creates fruits and vegetables that sustain us but also provides seeds that hold the promise of new life and growth. Each seed is a testament to the potential that lies within.

Recently, as I was slicing an apple to share with my pet chickens, I found myself reflecting on the hidden potential within that seemingly simple fruit. As I removed the seeds, I contemplated how many trees could emerge from those tiny seeds. While we can count the seeds and imagine the number of trees they could yield, what remains beyond our comprehension is the sheer abundance of apples that could spring forth from just one seed over the years.

This thought may seem ordinary, but let’s delve deeper into its application in our lives. When we earnestly ask Jesus for forgiveness and embrace the gift of being born again, we become like that seed, planted in fertile ground. Just as a seed must die to itself to sprout anew, our old selves must fade away to make room for the new life God has in store for us. As we surrender our lives to Christ, we unlock an extraordinary potential to impact the world around us.

The Lord gazes upon our lives with a profound understanding of our journey. He knows the countless times we will stumble, the moments of triumph, and the lives we will touch along the way. He holds the power to transform our lives into a fruitful harvest, but the question remains: Are you ready to produce? Are you prepared to grow and bear fruit? When you wholeheartedly commit your life to Christ and walk in obedience, you’ll witness remarkable transformations—not because you are the perfect seed, but because He is the perfect gardener. Trust Him, and watch as the harvest unfolds before your very eyes.

“Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your unwavering love and grace that surround me daily. I am grateful for Jesus and the incredible gift of salvation that comes through Him. Lord, I praise You for Your faithfulness and ask that You help me fully grasp the impact my life can have when dedicated to Your purpose. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me to be fruitful for Your Kingdom. May I trust in Your plans and embrace the growth You desire for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

August 17th 2025 – Fruit of the Spirit – Part 5 of 9

Leave a reply

We are on the 5th day of a 9-day journey to learn about all of the fruit of the Spirit – the gifts of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that come from God.

Gentleness (kindness) — We should live “in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left” (2 Corinthians 6:6-7).

Let’s take a look at what, according to Scripture, accompanies true kindness: “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each another, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:31-32)

To consistently live up to all this is humanly impossible! But “with God, all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26)

Kindness starts with caring —being tenderhearted and compassionate toward others. (Proverbs 12:10)

We must make it our goal and habit to be actively looking for opportunities to show kindness. When we see one, we need to act quickly before the opportunity is gone.

“Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions” (1 John 3:18)

Some people think kindness is weak—not something for “go-getters” to be bothered with. Big mistake! If we want God, who has ultimate control of how things go, to be kind to us, we’d better be kind to others. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7)

Lack of kindness is epidemic. The apostle Paul accurately foretold a cold and hard-hearted world “in the last days” (2 Timothy 3:1-2)

Jesus Christ practiced kindness that was radical for that time and culture. He always had great concern for women as well as men, for children as well as adults, for other races as well as the Jewish race, and for the sick and weak as well as the strong. Often He wore Himself out praying for people, healing people, feeding people and helping them in other ways.

When Jesus looked on the multitudes of people with all their problems, sicknesses and confusion, He was “moved with compassion” (Matthew 9:36, 14:14, 18:27)

As we look at the people around us, we, too, should be moved with gentleness, compassion and kindness. We, too, should be helping, giving, sharing, caring, encouraging, extending mercy, filled with compassion and acting on it as we are able.

With each of us, may the fruit of kindness continue to blossom and grow. Above all, may we strive to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, who personified God’s heart in the greatest example of loving-kindness.

“Gentleness and Kindness starts with caring—being tenderhearted and compassionate toward others.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for the forgiveness of my sins and for giving me the opportunity to experience life more abundantly. Lord, thank You for revealing Yourself to me through Your Word. I want learn how offer gentleness, kindness and compassion to others in a way that You teach. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
