When you think you cannot be an inspiration to someone else, please remember: "And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their Testimony" -Revelation 12:11 When you see someone struggling with life, being struggling with their marriage, struggling with day to day things in life, we all know life gets heavy for all of us at times, and maybe just maybe reaching out to someone and saying "I've been in your shoes, I see you, and I am here to help" maybe just what that person needs, you don't have to have a Ph. D to help someone you see that is struggling.

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8 This passage from Jeremiah speaks to a kind of trust that is not shallow or situational, but rooted—anchored deep beneath the surface where others cannot see. The blessing described here is not a promise of an easy life, but a promise of sustained life. Heat still comes. Drought still lasts for months. The difference is not the absence of hardship, but the presence of a source that does not run dry. To trust the Lord is to send our roots down into Him when circumstances tempt us to live off appearances, control, or self-reliance. Roots grow in the dark, unseen places. In the same way, faith is often formed quietly—in prayer that no one applauds, in obedience that feels costly, in hope that must be chosen again and again despite disappointment. When our confidence is placed in God rather than outcomes, we draw from living water even when the surface looks barren. The image of leaves staying green is especially powerful. Green leaves do not deny the season; they testify to a deeper nourishment. A life rooted in God may still feel the heat of trauma, grief, neglect, or waiting—but it is not defined by those conditions. Instead of withering, it continues to breathe, to grow, to reflect life. There is resilience here that comes not from strength, but from connection. And then there is fruit. Fruit is not forced. It is the natural result of staying rooted. When trust replaces fear and hope is anchored in the Lord, our lives begin to produce what others can taste—peace in chaos, steadiness in uncertainty, love that does not depend on being reciprocated. Even in seasons that feel unproductive, God is still at work below the surface, strengthening roots for future harvest.

Scripture: “Let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and i n truth.” Reflection: It hurts when faith is spoken but love isn’t felt. When people know the right words but struggle to show care, presence, or empathy. God never intended faith to replace love. He intended it to produce it. You are allowed to acknowledge the disconnect without shame. Wanting love that reflects Gods heart is not unspiritual- it is biblical. If we go back to 1John 3 and read the entire chapter, it is a good reminder that we are Gods children now, not some day, not conditionally. Key Truths: - Gods love defines our identity, not peoples treatment of us. - Living in Christ produces love, not harm or neglect. - Love is not words done, it is action and truth. - Gods presence brings confidence not fear or shame. DAY TWO PRAYER Dear Father, You see the ache I carry when words about you are spoken, but love toward me feels absent. You see the confusion of honoring faith while longing for tenderness. You see how I have tried to reconcile scripture with silence and belief with emotional distance. Today I bring you the disappointments that I have minimized. The hurt I have justified. The questions I have been afraid to ask out loud. Lord, I don’t want my heart to grow bitter or closed. But I also do not want to keep pretending that I am ok, when Im not. Teach me how to hold truth and grace together- without losing myself. Remind me that love is not proven by words alone, but by presence, humility, and care. Help me release the pressure to make things look spiritual when they feel painful. Give me the wisdom to discern what is mine to carry and what is not. Give me peace that does not depend on someone else’s growth on awareness. And give me rest from striving to be enough to earn the love I desire. Today I choose to believe that you are near. That you are attentive and that you are forming something good in me- even here. I pray this in the precious name of Jesus.
