The more we think we don’t struggle with pride, the more we probably do. Pride makes us think we’re right, smarter, or owed something. But that mindset steals joy and slowly starves love. Gratitude and generosity keep blessings in our hands from becoming poison in our hearts.

Don’t build your life on what’s trendy—build it on what’s true. Trends expire. Truth endures. Timely problems need timeless solutions. Let Christ, not culture, have the final word.

For followers of Jesus, when we fall short, his grace is there to fall on. That’s not a license to do whatever we want—it’s a reminder that His mercy is always enough. Our unfaithfulness doesn’t exhaust His faithfulness. Others may turn their back on you, but God is turning toward you.

You don’t need massive faith to see God’s faithfulness. Give Him what you have—even if it feels small—and He’ll meet you with what you need. You’re never too far for God to meet you right where you are.

Followers of Jesus aren’t called to live like the world but to be a light in it. Fitting in dims your light. Culture wants you to be a copy, but Christ calls you to be a catalyst. Living differently is how you make a difference.

Regret is not your enemy. It means you can see where you went wrong, you care when you’ve hurt others, and recognize where you can grow. Learn from it, don’t live in it. Regret is a lesson, not a label.
