I’ve learned that you have to be okay with not being seen, not being praised, and not being lifted up by others. Humility is where God does His deepest work. When we seek validation from the world instead of from Him, we begin to chase false idols that can never satisfy the soul.
Lately, I’ve been really intentional about removing distractions that pull me away from God. Anything that clouds my judgment, weakens my faith, or keeps me from living a healthy and disciplined life has to go. The Lord cannot fully work in us if we are holding on to things that separate us from Him.
Faith isn’t just prayer or church on Sundays. It’s how we live, how we treat others, how we forgive, how we show restraint, and how we trust God even when things don’t make sense. When we truly honor Him with our actions, not just our words, He begins to move in ways we never imagined.
Today I’m choosing surrender over control, faith over fear, and obedience over comfort. I know God’s timing is perfect, and I trust Him completely with where He’s leading me.

There are so many people out there that hold different values and standards that if you surrender your power to them, they will set YOUR worth, YOUR value and YOUR principles for you and you will be…
