Love isn't just something you say; it's something you show. You don't have to agree on everything to show love to everyone. One act of kindness each day may not change the world, but it can change someone's world. And that someone might just be you.
Words vs. Works
People can say the right words, but their works tell a different story. Words are only worth as much as the person saying them is willing to pay with their actions. Trust their life more than their lips.
The Hard Truth About Dating and Marriage
Marrying a bad boyfriend or girlfriend won’t make them a good spouse—it’ll make you a miserable one. Marriage doesn’t fix the problems in a relationship—it fastens you to them. Breakups are hard. Divorces are harder. Wait for the one who will love you like Christ. You’re worth the wait—and so is His plan.
Chasing Approval
Trying to make everyone happy will make you miserable. The more you chase approval, the less likely you are to receive it. Don’t waste energy being who others want you to be. Learn to become who you really are. You’ll never find your people while pretending to be someone you’re not.
When You’re Struggling to Be Accepted
Freedom begins when you accept you won’t be accepted by everyone. Even Jesus—the perfect Son of God—was rejected. Trying to do what He didn’t is a recipe for disappointment. Stop chasing approval and start resting in the One who will never turn you away.
What Most Parents Get Wrong
Loving your kids doesn’t mean shielding them from every storm. It means preparing them to stand strong in it. Trees that never face the wind collapse under their own weight. Protect less. Prepare more.
