2026 is here. Will you let it disappear, or will you see it completed? 🔄
Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
This year, I’m choosing to believe that every day is a step directed by God, not just a page torn off the calendar.
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us His plans are for good. So, ask Him today: "Lord, what is the goal for me this year?"
Let’s move in sync with Him.
I saw a reel about how a year is about motion—planets moving around a sun. Some are fast, some are slow; our Earth takes 365 days. But what caught me was this: “A year is not something disappearing, but something that is completed.”

Psalm 33:20🕊️
Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
🌟 Setting the Tone: A Call to Worship 🌟
As you greet each day, I encourage you to begin with a song of praise to God.
Sing to Him as you would your loved one, and know that He will meet you with delight. His ear is bent low to catch every note, every sigh, and every word offered in love. Your worship is a sweet fragrance to Him.
Worship is not passive; it is active. It immediately sets our sights on heaven, shifting our perspective away from earthly burdens. When we deliberately open our hearts and minds to the Lord, we declare that He is not an afterthought, but an integral part of our entire day. You do not have to be in the mood for it. You just do it.
By choosing worship first, we powerfully set the tone for the hours ahead. We equip ourselves with the right mindset and a vital awareness of His presence, enabling us to confront and conquer the many challenges the day may bring.
Remember this above all else: Because He is with you, you are never alone. Begin your morning with God and doors will open for you to experience God's joy and grace.
Go now, open that playlist, and let the music usher you into His powerful presence. Begin the day with a song of praise!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. - 2 Corinthians 13:14
Forgiveness is for our benefit
Forgiveness isn’t just for certain people, its not just for others. Forgiveness is for everyone.
There are not too many things that unlock greater spiritual authority in our lives than living a life of forgiving quickly. Holding on to offence, hurt and bitterness is a thief that steals, kills and destroys. Forgiveness empowers us to live light and free.
In the context of Jesus declaring that He is building His church and He will give us the keys of the kingdom, He also states that the gates of Hades (hell) will not prevail against the church that He is building. This is important. Many people would do well to focus on the enemy less, but we must not be ignorant of the enemies’ schemes.
He is a liar and a thief. He tries to use convincing arguments, but his intention is always to keep us bound, not to set us free.
One lie that the enemy regularly uses is that we cannot forgive that person who terribly wronged us.
Forgiving someone doesn’t release that person from the responsibility of what they have done, but it does release us into the freedom which God intends.
There is an incorrect focus on losing our freedom if we extend forgiveness to someone. The opposite is true.
At the point of forgiveness, we step into the freedom for which Christ has set us free.
Jesus had to forgive people who were literally nailing Him to the cross. In that moment, He cried out, “Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” This was part of the victory that was won for us on the cross of Calvary! That which was intended to destroy became the very vessel through which the kingdom was extended.
We were unworthy to receive God’s forgiveness. It wasn’t our good works that saved us, but it was the grace and the kindness of God. Even though we had sinned against Him, He shed His blood for us. There can be no higher form of sacrificial love.
Jesus set us up with the power to forgive others through what He did on the cross.
The starting point is never what we do for God, but what He has done for us. We have been forgiven much, and now we are called to forgive others.
Our freedom and other people’s freedom is unlocked through the master key of forgiveness. This is for everyone. This is for you.
God, help me have a heart full of gratitude. A heart that does not give in to offence and is willing to forgive. For this is you Lord, I want to be more like You. Amen.
Psalm 103: 1- 5 (TPT)
With my whole heart, with my whole life,
and with my innermost being,
I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God!
Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration.
How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness
you’ve done for me?
You kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I’ve done.
You’ve healed me inside and out from every disease.
You’ve rescued me from hell and saved my life.
You’ve crowned me with love and mercy.
You satisfy my every desire with good things.
You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky!
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly. - -John 10:10
"What Christmas Meant to Jesus"
Philippians 2:6-11 New Living Translation
6 Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Join Dr. David Jeremiah as he reveals the ultimate meaning of the Incarnation from Christ's perspective.
Discover the true depth of love that drove the Son of God to trade a throne for a manger, and what His ultimate act of obedience means for you today.
🌿 A Living Word for a Living Faith
"I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die." Galatians 2:21
📖 Encouragement from the Word
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”— Isaiah 40:29
"Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, LORD God of armies." — Jeremiah 15:16
The world tends to celebrate results and achievements—the goals you’ve reached, the progress you’ve made, how far you’ve come compared to someone else.
But have you ever wondered what the Lord prioritizes?
While the world celebrates what you accomplish, the Lord values who you’re becoming. No doubt, His heart is for you to be blessed. But He’s far more concerned with the kind of person you’re becoming along the way.
He delights in the quiet growth of your character, the way you respond when things don’t go as planned, and the choices you make when no one else is watching (Eph. 4:1–2).
That’s where true and lasting success begins—not in what you achieve, but in how Christ is being formed in you. It shows up in how you love your family, how you handle conflict, and how you treat the people around you with patience and grace (2 Pet. 1:5–9).
And here’s the beautiful thing: When you prioritize character success, the other breakthroughs you’re believing for will follow (Matt. 6:33).
Beloved, maybe you’ve been in a season where the Lord is growing your character.
Romans 5:3–4 tells us:
“We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.”
Isn’t that beautiful? Even in the most difficult moments, His grace is still at work. Every delay, every challenge, every setback, none of them are wasted in His hands.
In His love, the Lord is building something precious within you: A faith that endures, a character that reflects Christ, and a hope anchored securely in His goodness, no matter what comes your way.
He’s preparing you from the inside out, so that when the opportunities come, you won’t be crushed by promotion or pressured into compromise, but will remain steady, humble, and safe for success.
So instead of asking, “When will things change?”, take a moment this week to ask Him, “Lord, what are You shaping in me right now?”
Let Him show you the areas He’s molding, because when you allow Him to grow and establish your character, your breakthrough is never far behind. And in His perfect timing, you’ll find that He is faithful to bring every good thing to pass.

Whispers is a dedicated corner for writings that seek to help you navigate life. They say God communicates in seven "love languages": through Scripture, desires, opened doors, dreams, people, promptings, and even pain. These posts are called Whispers because they are written with one hope: that as you read, you will recognize and receive God speaking personally into your own life.
While God’s voice is always near, we must quiet our hearts to hear it. His whisper is more than just guidance—it is a continuous invitation to draw closer, to abide, and to know Him more deeply.
Whispers
The heart of the nook...
It is my desire that the pages here point you to the Giver of life, the One who Sees, the One who Guides, the One who Supplies. The One who is Eternal, the One who hears every cry, and the One whose grace will never run dry.
❤️ The Most Beautiful Love Story
God, who is love, cannot help but desire to bestow that love. He was so overflowing with love that He chose to share it. And so, you and I came into being. We were created in His image, designed to carry His love, to enjoy His goodness, and to live in His joyful embrace.
The Broken Connection
But then sin came, and our connection to God was broken. Our spirit died. The sinful nature, brought about by the first man's disobedience, became our own. In came all the ugliness and suffering. Death reigned. And this became our reality ever since.
Without God, we live relying on our own strength, abilities, and desires. We are like a sheep separated from its shepherd.
"All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, everyone, to his own way; .. – Isaiah 53:6a
The Longing Within
What we did not know is that God had placed a piece of Himself inside of us. Deep inside, that part longs to be reconciled. No matter how we strive for a life of perfection, that inner part will never be satisfied or feel complete until it is returned to the One it belongs to.
This is the reason why we always feel like something is lacking. A void that yearns to be filled, yet only God can fill. Nothing will ever fully satisfy until we are reconciled to the One who breathed life into us.
The sin nature in us prevents this reconciliation; we are slaves to sin. Everything we do is always contrary to what God wants for us. The happiness and satisfaction we experience never lasts.
And we constantly thirst and long for more. We look for the meaning of life among family and friends, in religion, worldly pleasures and achievements, but it is not there.
Because true life and satisfaction can only be found in God's bosom. Life flowing from Him.
The Perfect Sacrifice
God, who is holy, can never allow sin in His presence. Because He is just, sin must be punished. But God, who knew us long before we are born, even in our mother's womb would not stand still.
In His great mercy and love, He made a way for us.
He gave His own beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to be born into this world as a man. Jesus was born to suffer and pay for our sins—a debt that demanded a perfect sacrifice.
"it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.” - Leviticus 17:11.
Since sin leads to death, only a life can pay the penalty for sin.
Death by crucifixion, pain, and suffering on the way to the cross—Jesus willingly went through it all because of His great love for us. He knew the only way for us to be reconciled was to experience the new birth in the spirit, a rebirth that could only take place at the triumph of the cross.
And so Jesus came and bore the punishment for us. He laid down His life willingly on the cross.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” – Isaiah 53:5
And at His death, God’s justice was fully met. "It is finished" - tetelestai, Jesus said it. The debt owed to His Father by mankind - the debt of sin was wiped away completely and forever.
And after three days, God the Father raised Jesus from the grave. And we rose with Him.
Reconciliation is Now Possible
The cross made the new birth possible. This new birth brings us back to God's embrace, to the owner of our souls. Life—eternal and abundant—can be ours. Satisfaction and fullness are now possible. What a joy; how awesome is God's love for us!
"For He made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." - 2 Corinthians 5:21
For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past... - Romans 3:25
Do You Desire to Be Reconciled?
Do you want to be reconnected to the One who made you and experience the fullness of God's love?
It is not by struggling to do good or trying to make things right; it only requires that you believe.
By faith, receive the gift of eternal life: believe Jesus died your death and has already paid the punishment for all your sin. Turn to Jesus and acknowledge your need for Him.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
A Prayer of Faith
Lord God, I am like a lost sheep that needs a shepherd. Forgive me of all my sin. I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross, and I died with Him. I believe that on the third day He rose, and I rose with Him, a new creation in Christ. Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord, now and forever. Amen.
If you sincerely prayed this prayer, you have experienced the new birth. I rejoice with you!
Welcome to the family of God, alive in the spirit and connected to the source of life. Be confident, God will move heaven for you, His beloved child.
As you embrace this new life, I encourage you to get connected to a local, Bible-believing church in your area — a place where you can find nurturing community, biblical teaching, and support as you begin this journey.
And may these pages serve as a faithful resource to help you walk daily in the abundant life found only in Christ. ❤️
