A great Shepherd and a faithful, fruitful flock will always nourish you with the Word of God. Through every season of life, they provide encouragement, wisdom, and spiritual strength. A Shepherd who follows God's heart doesn't just lead from the front—she walks with the flock, prays for the flock, and feeds the flock with truth. And a fruitful flock reflects that same love, growing together in faith, unity, and purpose.

When the Word is preached, taught, and lived out, lives are changed, hearts are healed, and souls are strengthened. Stay connected to a Shepherd who feeds you God's Word and a flock that helps you grow, because where the Word is present, growth is inevitable and God's blessings will follow.

The Haves and the Have-Nots

Throughout history, societies have often been divided between those who possess wealth, influence, and opportunity and those who have been denied access to such advantages. This distinction is frequently described as the divide between the "haves" and the "have-nots." Embedded within this up conversation are the concepts of privilege and marginalization.

It is remarkable that some who have attained positions of power and prosperity—often through systems that benefited from the labor, sacrifices, and exclusion of others—can sometimes develop a sense of superiority toward those with fewer resources. Too often, barriers are erected through unjust practices, manipulation, greed, and self-interest, preventing capable and deserving individuals from reaching their full potential.

If there is justice in the moral order of the universe, then accountability must eventually accompany privilege. No society can sustain itself indefinitely when inequality is maintained through exploitation, deception, or the deliberate suppression of others.

I believe we are witnessing a significant shift—not merely a transfer of wealth, but a transfer of influence, passion, purpose, and power. Walls that have long divided people are beginning to crack under the weight of truth, awareness, and collective determination. What was once hidden is being exposed, and what was once denied is increasingly being claimed.

Therefore, we would be wise to walk in humility and gratitude. We should treat others with dignity, compassion, and mercy. We should learn to live within our means and resist the temptation to advance ourselves at the expense of those who possess less. No one should build success upon false narratives, manipulation, or the exploitation of another human being.

The walls of injustice eventually fall. Privilege should never be worn as a badge of superiority, particularly when one's position was aided by circumstances, opportunities, or systems that were unavailable to others. True greatness is measured not by what one possesses, but by how one uses that influence to uplift, empower, and serve humanity.

Real Talk:

I have a particular personality and disposition. I do not enjoy crowds, cliques, or constantly engaging in large social settings and activities. What I have learned to do instead is protect my peace and honor the life God has given me.

At one point in my life, I stopped constantly moving and began listening to and reflecting on my inner self. As I reflected on my years in elementary school, high school, college, the beginning of my professional career, and now as a young retiree, I realized that I was evolving into a healthier love relationship with myself.

There was a time when I did not like being tall. I did not like my complexion, my hair, my personality, or even my smile. Why? Because people always had something negative to say. It was always, “you’re too this” or “not enough that.” There was always criticism.

Then one day, I realized something powerful: what people were criticizing was actually the astonishing individuality and awesomeness that God created within me.

Now, look at the beautiful and gifted athlete Angel Reese. She is a magnificent young woman excelling in her purpose, and yet critics continuously try to tear her down. Why? Because bright lights attract attention. Greatness makes insecure people uncomfortable.

And in that moment, I heard God say: “You may not be Angel Reese, but you are still one of My magnificent creations. Just like her, you have embraced the awesomeness I placed inside of you.”

So, I say this to many of you: my ministry is built on helping the people others overlook, dismiss, or intentionally attack because of the bright, blinding light of God they carry within them.

Stop shrinking yourself.Stop minimizing your gifts.Stop allowing others to marginalize your purpose.

People will always have something negative to say. Remember, nobody spends time talking about dim lights or people doing nothing. Like Angel Reese, keep being awesome. Keep walking boldly in who God created you to be. Celebrate yourself often, unapologetically, and without fear.

You are God’s masterpiece — and that alone is enough.
