There’s a hard truth many of us learn only after we’ve been bruised by love: You cannot change someone by loving them harder. Maybe you’ve been there—giving all you had, hoping your unconditional love would be enough to soften their words, change their actions, or finally make them see your worth. You stayed quiet to…

Serving Without Self
There is a kind of service that draws applause, recognition, and praise. And then, there is a deeper kind of service—quiet, unseen, and often misunderstood. It’s the kind of service that doesn’t seek attention or reward. It simply flows from a heart surrendered to God. This is serving without self. In today’s world, the word…
Am I loved Or Just Useful?
There’s a kind of ache that doesn’t show on the outside. It creeps in quietly, usually when you’re going about your day doing what needs to be done—folding laundry, preparing meals, answering texts, holding things together. It’s a slow ache that whispers a question you didn’t expect to ask, one that makes your heart pause:…
Elephant In The Room
We often think it’s the big issues that weigh the heaviest in our lives—those thunderclaps of betrayal, failure, loss, or disappointment. But what if it’s not the loud, crashing moments that define us—but the soft, subtle ones? The ones we barely speak of? The little things? The truth is, little things are often the elephant…
Matter of Understanding
If God could whisper one truth into the soul of every person on Earth, what do you think He would say? I’ve sat with that question often—especially in moments when life is heavy, confusing, or just incredibly human. And though I don’t pretend to know the fullness of God’s mind, Scripture and the life of…

That Changes Everything… Have you ever felt desired by someone—but still strangely empty? It’s a feeling many of us know too well. In relationships of all kinds—romantic, platonic, or professional—there’s a subtle but powerful difference between being wanted and being valued. One feeds the ego. The other nourishes the soul. To be wanted can feel…
Where Are We?
God Is Everywhere, But What Are We Missing? There’s a beautiful and ancient belief that God is everywhere. In the trees, in our laughter, in the quiet moments before sleep. In the stranger’s kindness, the infant’s cry, the sunrise, the storm. If God is truly present in all things, then how is it possible that…
Who Am I Becoming?
Life Is Not What We Make It, But Who We Are We’re taught from a young age to chase after dreams, set goals, and create the life we want. “Life is what you make it,” they say — and in many ways, there’s truth in that. Our choices matter. Our effort counts. But if we…
What It Means To Live Fully
We all know the difference between existing and truly living. But what does it really mean to live fully? Is it climbing mountains? Traveling the world? Achieving our goals? Maybe. But living fully isn’t always loud or glamorous. Sometimes, it’s quiet. Subtle. Sacred. Being Fully Present So much of life slips through our fingers when…
Words Matter
How would you feel if someone told you things that are not that easy to forget? Words that linger in our memories and leave a deep scar in our hearts and being. Maybe I am not the kindest person or not the most loving (to some), but I am not cruel and hateful. Maybe I…
