How to Find Hope When You’ve Tried Everything Else

Image
  You know the feeling. That quiet undercurrent that surfaces when the noise settles. In the scroll. In the silence between episodes. In the moment you lie in bed and wonder, Is this it? It’s not always heavy. Sometimes it’s just a subtle restlessness. A sense that something's missing. Not wrong, exactly. Just… unfinished. Like a sentence that ends in a comma. Like a room that’s still waiting to be furnished. You’ve done things right. You've checked the boxes, chased the goals, stayed connected. And yet—there it is. That ache. Quiet, but persistent. What if that feeling isn’t weakness? What if it’s not burnout, not failure—not even a mental health red flag—but something more? We’re living in a world bursting with information, expression, innovation. And still—something’s off. Depression has tripled since 2020. Anxiety is everywhere. Suicide still haunts too many lives. Therapists are overwhelmed. Hope feels like it’s in short supply. But maybe that ache isn't just a symptom...

Who Do You Trust In Time of Need?

Image
When times are difficult, generosity often feels like the last thing we can afford. Yet, Scripture reminds us that it is in seasons of need that the beauty of giving shines brightest. The widow who gave her two small coins (Mark 12:41–44) had little, but her faith made her gift immeasurable. Jesus honored her offering because it reflected trust in God’s provision rather than reliance on earthly security. Generosity isn’t only about money—it’s about sharing our time, our prayers, our encouragement, and our presence with those who are struggling. In Galatians 6:2 we’re told to “carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” When we open our hands and hearts, we reflect the character of Christ, who gave Himself fully for us. During times of crisis, fear can tempt us to hoard or retreat. But generosity reminds us that our hope isn’t in our resources—it’s in God. Acts 2 describes the early church as believers who shared everything, ensuring that “there we...

When Sweet Turns Sour In Your Heart, Start Working Out!!!

Image
  When Sweet Turns Sour The other day I grabbed a piece of fruit that looked like an Instagram ad—bright, glossy, perfect. One bite in… bitter. Not just “meh,” but the kind that makes you want to spit it out and never touch that fruit again. We do that with people, don’t we? One bad mood, one awkward comment, one poor choice—and we mentally write them off. Bitter equals bad. Case closed. But here’s the twist: fruit ripens. People do too. Sometimes sweetness just takes a little time. The Workout You Didn’t Expect Living healthy isn’t just about sweating it out at the gym. It’s the whole package—moving your body, resting so it can recover, and fueling it with food that helps you thrive. Miss one part and your progress slows down. Love works the same way. It’s not some magic vibe that shows up when conditions are perfect—it’s a practice. A muscle. Every time you flex patience, it grows. Every time you pause instead of snapping, it recovers. Every time you feed someone encouragement in...

God’s Huge Sense of Humor About Tiny Things

Image
  God’s Huge Sense of Humor About Tiny Things Hidden Keys to Lifestyle Health From the very beginning, humanity has imagined that power and health must come from something grand. We boast of the heart’s thunder, the brain’s brilliance, the majesty of mountains, and the constancy of stars. Yet in God’s holy humor, He placed one of life’s greatest secrets not in grandeur but in the gut. There, billions of microbes — once dismissed as dirt, filth, and inconsequential pests — labor silently. They ferment the foods we eat, assemble delicate proteins, and release tiny molecules of hydrogen (H₂) that soothe inflammation, protect our cells, and even brighten our mood. It is as if God whispered: “Let them see that even the least of these truly matters.” The Divine Comedy of Health We tend to think strength comes from power, wealth, or control. But God’s comedy is this: true strength is born of service. Even your health depends on how you serve the smallest life within you. Every apple, ev...

Who Can You Call On For Help? God.

Image
Life is a gift. Health must be earned. We earn good health by cultivating healthy habits. For many, cultivating healthy habits is not as easy as we would like it to be. Distractions, responsibilities, deadlines, lack of self-discipline and self-control and lack of willpower can all stand in the way of keeping up with a healthy lifestyle. But the good news is that help is available to us. Just not any kind of help; but divine help. Help that comes from God Himself. It is God’s will for us to be in health; so, calling on God for help in the area of health is in place. God is ready, willing and available to all who call on Him for help. Some healthy habits are drinking adequate amount of water, having some form of exercise regimen, good nutrition (that would include wholefoods and exclude heavily processed foods), getting proper amount of rest, getting sunlight, giving God your cares, and so on. As simple as it may look or sound, practicing these habits consistently and continually will b...

Check Immediately: Is Your Ladder Leaning On The Wrong Wall?

Image
  It Happens in Life More Than We Like to Admit A job that promised meaning but left you hollow. A relationship you poured yourself into that couldn’t hold the weight of your hope. A cause, a brand, or a personal dream that looked like it would define you—until you realized it couldn’t. These are the moments you realize something you were climbing toward… couldn’t actually meet your needs nor sustain your lifelong dreams. The Two Walls In life, we all lean our ladders somewhere. But not every wall is the same. Some walls only look solid. From the ground, they’re covered in bold colors, clever words, and the promise of a better view. You start climbing, feeling the rush of progress, until you reach the top—and discover it’s nothing but a painted backdrop. No depth. No strength. Just an empty stage propped up to look real. Then there’s the other wall. It’s plain from the ground—solid stone, no slogans, no glossy veneer. It doesn’t shout for your attention. But as you climb,...
