God has been faithful and merciful since our first parents, Adam and Eve. The first image-bearers compromised their identity.

Let us carefully imagine living life to enjoy and steward creation. Only not alone, God was in the company of them. He was near and walking closely in the garden with them.

Adam was the priest-king for the care, cultivation, and protection of the garden. It was pure paradise. He would lead and establish others toward obedience to God. Adam failed as the serpent was able to enter godly premises. Eve ate of the forbidden tree, and Adam partook. In the beginning, God's creation and callings were magnifying God and being under His care. In Genesis 2, God provided a foreground of purpose, and then we see in Genesis 3 where sin broke it.

Sin brought forth the fall. We inherited a sinful nature. We were broken when God formed you and me. We fall short of our true purpose. Adam and Eve looked forward in faith to the promised Savior.

Sweet friends, Jesus is alive and available, and if you have called upon His Name, He is in you.

Sin validates our lack of purpose. The enemy endorses our lack of focus.

It is imperative that we understand the importance of this belief and internalize it. I will continue reinforcing it in my heart, as it holds great significance in living in God's Kingdom.

What is it we do?

—Pray as He is listening.

Repent as He forgives.

Read, listen, and search The Word for the truth.

See what God is and His character.

John 7: 37-39: Jesus once again speaks of living water, saying, “'Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. ' By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.

Only God can restore your heart, soul, and mind.

We have a purpose in the Gospel, His purpose is already set before us, and He is holding our hands to step up in the faith. God is still gracious and forgiving despite our faults. God does not leave us under a curse. He sent His Son, Christ Jesus, and by His death and resurrection, we have the Holy Spirit nestled inside us.

We possess the provision, and it is holy.

Yes, it is the truth. You and I have His power, His strength, His endurance, His healing, His beloved Heart, and His Kingdom... right where we are. We are His purpose transcending the glory of God the Father.

"Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear." Matthew 11:15

“and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.” Rom. 1:4

I understand the struggles of feeling stuck and isolated, especially with limited biblical knowledge. It can be overwhelming and make one feel unworthy of God's presence.

The belief that Jesus saved me on multiple occasions, not just the one time I prayed for Him to save my soul. And experienced some difficult times in my life, including heartbreak from my divorced parents, a failed marriage, and struggling to love myself while also being responsible for someone else's love. I felt lost and disconnected from life. My salvation is a source of hope and strength through Jesus.

Keeping in mind that we were made in the image of God, I return to this in hope. It's important to recognize that we are capable of overcoming more than we often realize. However, if we don't, it's often due to external factors pushing against us. Even if we feel condemned by our thoughts or doubt that God can alleviate our current struggles, pain, sorrow, and health, I can attest from personal experience that my dear friend, He can do much more than we imagine. Even when we are unaware, our faith in Jesus continues to empower us. I will remain certain that life has meaning and purpose, and we can discover it with Jesus by our side. He always stands by us and never abandons us.

Accept His grace. The Holy Spirit will fill us up.

Have you ever considered the subtle but powerful influence that God provides in our lives? Sometimes we may not even realize it, but He is always there for us. By taking just one small step each day and placing our trust in Him, we can allow God to guide us and work wonders through our simple prayers. Let us have faith that God is always with us and ready to help us on our journey.

His promises are mine and yours.

He heals brokenness.

God fervently illuminates the darkness and despair.

In Christ's Love
