Month: January 2026

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.

True Love vs. Attachment

Because of the confusion between love and attachment, a question has arisen in our time: “Does true love still exist?”

This is similar to what John addressed when he wrote that those who love the world are not of God. He was not speaking against loving people—he was speaking about attachment to the world. God loved the world, yet He was not attached to it.

If true love exists, it must come from God, because He is both truth and love. And His love is not passive—He chooses to love us. That love calls for a response.

Even when you feel unloved, know this: God chooses to love you every single day. And although life will bring moments that cause us to question His love—love is more than a feeling. Take time to read 1 Corinthians 13 and discover what love truly is.

John 3:20 (ESV): For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

Light Reveals and Heals:

Light does expose—but it also heals. Some of the things we are doing are actually the source of our pain. And it is only when the light reveals them that we can move away from them and begin to heal.

Light also restores focus. When we keep things hidden, even when we think we are managing them, they quietly distract us from God’s purpose for our lives. That is why we must ask ourselves an honest question:

Can I allow the light of God to shine on everything I do, the people I walk with, and the choices I make?

Takeaway

Are you running toward the light—or hiding from it?

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it.

Transformation Is a Process

One thing I have learned about transformation is this: it is much easier to say you are transformed than it is to go through the process of transformation. True change is not something we merely declare; it is a journey we must walk.

Not pointing fingers, but I have encountered people who claim to be “born again,” yet their lifestyle shows no evidence of spiritual transformation. I have also met people who love God and know a great deal about Him—they are good people. Yet Jesus makes it clear: to see the Kingdom of God, one must be born again.

John 3:3 (ESV): Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Why Must We Be Born Again?

Nicodemus asked a reasonable question: “How can a man be born when he is old?” That question helped us understand how being born again happens. But another important question is this: Why must we be born again?

One of the hardest truths to accept—and one that is still debated today—is that when we are born into this world, we are born into sin because of what happened in the Garden of Eden. I understand why this is difficult to grasp. Imagine if your grandparents committed a crime and were sentenced to lifelong house arrest, and then you were told that everyone born into that family would also live under house arrest. Naturally, questions would arise: Why must I suffer for something I did not do? I was born innocent.

Yet this is the spiritual reality of humanity.

From the First Adam to the Second Adam

Scripture refers to Jesus Christ as the second Adam. We cannot belong to the second Adam while still carrying the nature of the first Adam. When we are born, we inherit the nature of the first Adam—sinful and separated from God. That is why we need a rebirth.

The beauty of this rebirth is that it does not depend on human strength or effort. No one can claim credit for it. It is the work of the Holy Spirit alone. And that is good news—because it means we do not have to beg for it, negotiate for it, or qualify for it. It is not reserved for a select few. All are welcome, because all have sinned.

Takeaway

Are you relying on knowledge about God, or are you living in a relationship with God?

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day is a gift to you and me, so let’s cherish it

A New Beginning

A new year has begun, marking the start of new things. While there is still light, it is important that we understand who the Light is—before things become dark. Because once darkness sets in, we may be tempted to create our own light.

John 1:4 (NLT): “The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.”

Life and Light in Christ

Jesus Christ did not only give life—He also brought light. One of the misunderstandings we often have is thinking that life comes from what we acquire or possess. Yet there are many people who have much and are still lifeless.

As we pursue our goals this year and desire the best for ourselves, our families, and our friends, let us not forget this truth: the greatest thing we can have is Christ in us.

A Warning About False Light

The danger of searching for a candle in the dark is desperation. In moments of darkness, we may not question where the light comes from or who offers it. Scripture warns us that the devil comes as an angel of light—meaning that not every light we find in dark moments is the true Light.

That is why, while it is still light, we must seek the true Light.

Fridays are for gratitude, and today we thank God for 2026. We look forward with expectation to what He has in store for us. May this be a year where we draw closer to Him and remain rooted in the true Source of life and light.

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name. Ameni!
