From Pain to Purpose

Most people read the Prodigal Son… and miss the weight of it.

“When he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion… he ran to his son.” — Luke 15:20

In that culture, grown men didn’t run. It was undignified.
But the father ran anyway. 🏃‍♂️

Why?

The village knew what the son had done. He deserved shame. Rejection. Public disgrace.

So the father reached him first.
Before the village could.

He covered him with his robe. 👘
Gave him his ring. 💍
Put sandals on his feet. 👣

Not a servant.
Not a disgrace.

“My son.” ❤️

This isn’t just a story about a rebellious son.
It’s a story about a Father who absorbs shame to protect His child.

“He bore our shame…” — Isaiah 53:4–5
“There is now no condemnation…” — Romans 8:1

He runs.
He covers.
He restores.

He’s been watching the road. Every day. 👀

And He already has the robe ready.

Matthew 7:23 Jesus says:

“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” — Matthew 7:23 (KJV)

That verse used to shake me. 😳 I thought it meant you could try your hardest, believe in God, do all the church things, and somehow still miss it.

But when I slowed down and really read it, I realized something important. Jesus wasn’t talking to atheists. He was talking to religious people. People saying, *“Lord, Lord.”* People doing impressive things. Even miracles. 🙌

Just a couple verses before, they say:

“Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” — Matthew 7:22 (KJV)

They were pointing to their performance. Their résumé. Their works.

But Jesus didn’t say, “You didn’t work hard enough.”
He didn’t say, “You didn’t do enough.”
He said, “I never knew you.”

That word “knew” isn’t about information. It’s about relationship. 🤝❤️

It’s the difference between knowing about someone and actually walking with them. Talking with them. Letting them into your real life — the good, the bad, and the messy.

For a long time, I tried to fix myself.
Tried to prove myself.
Tried to build something good enough to make up for the wreckage behind me. 🛠️

But Scripture says:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” — Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJV)

And Jesus also said:

“Abide in me, and I in you… for without me ye can do nothing.” — John 15:4–5 (KJV)

He’s not asking me to impress Him.
He’s asking me to **abide**.
To walk with Him.
To know Him — and let Him know me — one day at a time. 🌅

Honestly, that feels a lot like recovery.
One day at a time.
Stay connected.
Stay honest.
Keep showing up. 🙏

The point isn’t performance.
It’s relationship.

And for a girl like me who used to think she had to earn everything — that’s really, really good news. ✝️❤️

Remember, Jesus loves you.
And so do I.

See you tomorrow. 👋✨

Sometimes life really be life‑ing 😩🌪️

You can’t always control what happens to you… but you **100% control how you respond** 💯🔥

People will talk. Plans will fall apart. Doors will close. Storms will come. 🌧️
But your reaction? That’s your power. That’s your peace. That’s your growth. 🌱✨

“We know that all things work together for good to them that love God” – Romans 8:28 🙏🏽

And sometimes the “good” starts with you choosing patience over panic… faith over fear… growth over bitterness 💛

The situation might be out of your hands —
but your attitude? Your mindset? Your spirit?
Still yours. Always. 💪🏽🕊️

Choose grace.
Choose strength.
Choose peace.

🙌🏽✨

Reading ●Isaiah 43● and found these hidden gems. ♡◇

God opens with:

“I have called you by name; you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1

Notice what He doesn’t say.
He doesn’t say, “Fix yourself first.”
He doesn’t say, “Get it together and then come back.”

He starts with ♡belonging♡. 💛
Before the cleanup. Before the comeback. Before the breakthrough.
You belong to Him. Period.

Then He says:

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned.” — Isaiah 43:2

Not ◇if.◇
◇When.◇

Life will get messy. 🌊🔥
There will be deep waters.
There will be heated seasons.

But here’s the promise:
It won’t destroy you.
You won’t drown.
You won’t be consumed.
Because He’s in it with you. 🙌

And later He says something that stopped me in my tracks:

“I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and remembers your sins no more.” — Isaiah 43:25

He forgives you for His own sake.
Not because you finally became perfect.
Not because you earned it.
But because that’s who He is. 💧✨

So here’s the whole message of Isaiah 43 in modern terms:

God knows your name. 🫶
You belong to Him.
Storms will come. 🌧️
Fire will happen. 🔥
But it won’t take you out.
And your past?

It doesn’t get the final word anymore.

God does.👑

📍Why it’s Important to be Anointed‼️

In Bible Times, oil was essential to the well being of a sheep!

📌Sheep were constantly tormented by flies, gnats, and parasites 🪰

They would crawl into their ears and eyes, driving the lambs into irritation, frustration, and even self-harm.

So the shepherd would take oil and gently apply it to the lamb’s head.

The oil did three things:
• It repelled what was trying to torment them
• It soothed existing wounds
• It brought refreshing and rest

That’s why Psalm 23 matters!

📝David was saying:
God doesn’t just lead me.
God doesn’t just provide for me.
God protects my mind.
God soothes my soul.
God keeps the enemy from getting access to my mind.

😔Some of you aren’t tired because life is hard, you’re tired because you’ve been running without oil.

The anointing isn’t hype.
It’s not fluff.
It’s not for show.

It’s brings protection.
It’s brings healing.
It’s peace under pressure.
🐑✨

“You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.”
— Psalm 23:5

🙏May God’s precious oil cover you and your family today and always!

📖 Coaching Moment: Why Reading the Bible Matters🙏

The Bible is more than a book—it’s an invitation into relationship. When we open Scripture, we’re not just gaining information; we’re encountering the living God. Through His Word, the Father reveals His heart ❤️, the Son shows us the way ✝️, and the Holy Spirit brings truth, conviction, and comfort 🔥🕊️.

Jesus reminds us that relationship comes through abiding, not striving:
“Abide in Me, and I in you.”— John 15:4

Spending time in the Word builds intimacy with the Father. It teaches us who He is and who we are in Him.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”— 2 Timothy 3:16

When we read Scripture with an open heart, the Holy Spirit speaks personally, guiding our decisions and transforming our character.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

Coaching takeaway: don’t read the Bible out of obligation—read it out of hunger. Even a few verses a day can strengthen your faith, align your heart with God’s will, and deepen your relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Consistency builds connection, and connection produces transformation. 🌱✨

🙏 Prayer:
“Lord, help me desire Your Word, hear Your voice, and walk closely with You every day.”
