What’s in Your Cup? Learning to Overflow With Thankfulness

Image
Life has a funny way of revealing what’s really inside us. Imagine this: you’re walking back from the office kitchen with a cup of coffee. Someone bumps into you and—splat!—coffee everywhere. You spilled coffee because coffee was in your cup. If it had been tea, tea would have spilled instead. That moment teaches us something powerful: when life bumps us—through challenges, stress, or unexpected situations—whatever is in our hearts tends to spill out. That’s why Paul encourages us in Colossians 2:6-7 to live rooted in Christ: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Being “rooted and built up in Him” means our hearts are filled with Christ’s love and strength. When life bumps us, what spills out isn’t frustration or fear—it’s thankfulness. How do we stay full of thankfulness? So the question becomes: how do we stay full of tha...

Called by Grace: A Life Chosen by God

 “But then God called me by His grace, and chose me from my birth to be His.” – Galatians 1:15 (TPT). There’s a beautiful simplicity in this verse. It’s a reminder that God’s call on our lives is not random. It is intentional, personal, and rooted in His grace.  Before we even took our first breath, God already had a purpose for our lives. This truth resonates deeply with me, as it reminds us that our lives are not accidents, nor are they shaped by chance. Chosen Before Birth The phrase "chose me from my birth" is humbling. It speaks of a divine plan that existed long before I did. Before we took our first breath, God already had a purpose for our lives.  God, in His infinite wisdom, carefully knit us together in our mother’s womb, knowing every detail of who we would become (Psalm 139:13-16). This is comforting and should give you the confidence if you’ve ever felt like you don’t measure up, like you’re not enough, or that your life doesn’t matter. You were chosen—not be...

Never, ever doubt my love

I was listening to a song today and it served as a reminder of God’s love for. I really needed to hear it because my puny mind cannot comprehend the extent of God's love and that He is so mindful of me.  I am mindful of you. I love you. You are imprinted on the palm of my hands. I know the number of hairs on your head. I am with you and I will never let you go. The enemy will like you to think you are going through challenges because God doesn't love you. That is the lie of the enemy. God’s words says He loves us, God’s actions shows He loves us. Regardless of whatever you are going through now, never doubt the love of God. My daughter,  How you perceive Me does not change my love for you, does not change who I am and does not change what I say. 

Cancer: Journey to Victory - The steadfast love of God

“GOD ’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with GOD (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 MSG  This powerful promise in His word offers peace to my heart in my current journey in life. He gives me great hope in the battles I face today. It is like a ray of light through the darkest night. For just as I am sure the sun comes up every morning, I can be confident that His mercies never end. His mercies are never based on how good I am, but only on his steadfast character. His compassion towards me is fresh every morning, and each day is a gift straight from his hands. I can trust his heart is for me. It will be easy to complain about everything than to offer God praise. But I choose to set my heart on the steadfast love of God, offering him praise for who He is and how He is at work in my life. I will remember God’s promise and choose ...
