Whether we are aware of it or not, after the fall of our first parents, we all have stepped into this world as spiritually blind men.  When I think of a physically blind man, I cannot help but consider the different challenges he goes through regularly. I was privileged to help a blind woman at…

Over the years, I have developed a distorted perception of what any healthy relationship should look like. All the myths I believed about relationships and my own brokenness made me think I should be friends with everyone who comes my way. And when it comes to godly relationships, I didn’t even know what that looked…

I notice that many people genuinely love Jesus and desire to serve Him with all their hearts, but they want their love and devotion to Him to stay in a little bubble. It’s like a caterpillar that never becomes a butterfly because it is afraid of change. I have realized that many of us are…

There are many blessings in life that we take for granted, especially the things we can perform. For instance, one will never recognize the importance of the toes until something happens to one of them and he can barely walk or wear shoes.

However, we tend to forget that the only reason we can do all these things is because we are allowed to. This…

We often hear people say that God’s answers can be a yes, no, or not yet. And we often talk about when He says yes or not yet. When He says ‘yes’, we get excited, and when He says, ‘not yet’, we become impatient. But what about when His answer is no? I don’t remember…

Growing up, when I heard people talk about our steps being ordered by God, I used to think that it was reserved only for a certain group of people who had reached their highest level in God. I used to think that at that point, God would always tell them how and when to do…

I notice that we often quote Isaiah 64:8, which says, Father, you are the potter, and I am the clay, and I am the work of your hand. However, we never realize the level of submission required to let ourselves be thrown on the Potter’s wheel. Not that I am a fan of pottery, nor…
