Right Before Your Eyes…

Miriam of Magdala, Mary Magdalene, was standing by a tomb weeping over the death of her Rabbi. When she turned around and saw Him, she didn’t realize it was Him. Thinking He was the gardener, she said, “Tell me where you put Him and I’ll get Him.” He said to her, “Miriam.” She answered, “Rabboni,” which means my Rabbi.

All she could think was that her beloved Rabbi was gone. And yet, He was standing right there beside her. It’s easy for us to get bogged down by our problems, or by what we think is missing in our lives, what we don’t have, or what we long for.

We end up like Miriam, our souls filled with sorrow, wrapped up in what we don’t have in our lives, blind to seeing the treasure we do have. If you’re saved, don’t dwell on what you don’t have in your life.

For the greatest blessing you could ever know or have in your life, you have. For your beloved Rabbi, the Answer, is standing right beside you. Just open the eyes of your heart and see.

The LORD has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: “Say to Daughter Zion, ‘See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.’” Isaiah 62:11

Today, open your eyes and see the blessings and treasures that fill your life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Seeds of Generosity…

Good morning,

Today, let’s embrace the beauty of generosity—how God enriches us so that we can pour out His love to others.

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us, your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:11

Today’s passage invites us to view God’s blessings in our lives as seeds of generosity meant to be sown into the lives of others. It reminds us that our enrichment isn’t an endpoint but a beginning – a starting line for a journey of giving and sharing.

In this verse, Paul isn’t just talking about financial wealth. He’s speaking of a richness of spirit, a bounty of kindness, and a wealth of compassion. These are the true treasures we are called to share. Every act of generosity, no matter how small, becomes a reflection of God’s love in the world.

This kind of giving goes beyond mere charity. It’s an act of worship, a tangible expression of our thanksgiving to God. When we give, we acknowledge that everything we have is a gift from Him. We become conduits of His grace, touching lives and creating ripples of kindness that extend far beyond our reach.

As we reflect on this message, let’s consider how we can live out this call to generosity today. It could be through our time, our words, our resources, or our actions. Each act of giving is a testament to the One who gives to us so abundantly.

Gracious God, Thank You for enriching my life in so many ways. Please open my heart to see the blessings You’ve given me and the opportunities to share them with others. Help me to give with a generous and joyful spirit, trusting that each small act of kindness reflects Your love. Use me as a channel of Your grace, so that through my generosity, others may see Your goodness. Teach me to hold loosely to what I have, knowing that You are my provider and that Your abundance never runs dry. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Generosity is not about how much or what we give but how much love we put into giving.

Walk daily with God at your!

Love always,

The Silent Truth…

In John 18, Jesus is standing before Pontius Pilate on trial for His life. Pilate asks Him, “What is truth?” It’s a question man has been asking from the beginning. What was the Lord’s response?

As far as the Scriptures are concerned, He never said anything. Why didn’t He answer Pilate? He did, but not with words. Jesus is the truth. If He said something at that point, He would be speaking about the truth.

But about the truth isn’t the same as truth itself. What is the truth? Not merely the words of Jesus, but Jesus Himself, standing right there, before Pilate’s eyes without words.

Learn this profound truth. You need to tell your loved ones and the world the truth. But more than telling them about the truth, you need to show them the truth.

Don’t just talk about God’s love. Show them God’s love. Because people can argue with the words of Jesus, it’s very hard to argue with His presence, standing there right before their eyes.

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.  John 17:17

Don’t just talk about God’s love today. Show it!

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Right At Your Side…

Good morning,

Today, let’s discover how our battles are not fought alone, but alongside the victorious King of Kings.

They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers.
Revelation 17:14

In the heat of life’s battles, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and outnumbered. The enemies we face – whether they be doubt, fear, sickness, or sorrow – can seem invincible at times. But today, I want to encourage you with a truth that changes everything: in Christ, the victory is already yours.

Revelation 17:14 gives us a glimpse into a cosmic battle, where the forces of evil wage war against the Lamb. But the Lamb, Jesus Christ, triumphs over them all. His victory is not uncertain or incomplete, but absolute and final.

And here’s the amazing part: as a follower of Christ, you are not just a spectator in this victory, but a participant. The verse calls you one of “His called, chosen and faithful followers.” This means that when you face trials and tribulations, you do so not as a victim, but as a victor.

Your battles may be real, but they are not the final word. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror. So today, whatever you’re facing, face it with the confidence of one who knows the war has already been won. You are fighting from victory, not for it.

Today, let this truth be your strength and your song.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for the overwhelming love that you have poured into my life. When I feel weak and weary in the battles I face, it reminds me of the victory that is already mine through Christ. Your strength is my strength, Lord. Fill my heart with courage and peace as I face each challenge, knowing that I am never alone. I am so grateful to be called, chosen, and a faithful follower in Your triumph. Let that truth be my song, my strength, and my victory every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I can not; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words “in Christ.”

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
