There are seeds of greatness in each of us that will only emerge through our fiery trials. In California’s national parks, enormous sequoia trees reach over three hundred feet and can live for over two thousand years. These trees produce cones containing seeds that remain locked inside for hundreds of…

I have begun my days listening to this beautiful song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ_aGtE_fc4, and I felt the Lord speak this to my spirit this morning. When hurting, we often bury those emotions instead of dealing with them. Running away from our pain or numbing it with substances/behaviors is not the answer. We…

Revelation 3:7 says, “God opens doors that no man can shut, and shuts doors that no man can open.” God is your doorkeeper, and obstacles cannot hinder your purpose. I’ve been engaged in a legal battle for over a year, and you may feel as though you are behind closed…

We won’t understand everything that happens in life. There will be detours, delays, and even dead ends—moments when it feels like we’re stuck. It’s easy to feel discouraged when our plans fall through, frustrated by closed doors, or bitter towards those who hurt us. It’s as if we take one…
