My heart hurts. This world is broken. Erika Kirk posted this verse a couple of hours before she lost her husband Charlie. Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Life is short, but our impact for Christ can be eternal. Be bold—invite someone to stand with you in prayer at See You at the Pole. Together, let’s seek God and let His light shine through us.

As Christian, we cannot be silent in the face of evil. We must rise up snd declare the Truth of Jesus Christ and how He has changed our lives. Others may not agree, but they cannot argue with our changed lives. Pray for and truly love the ones that don't agree. Jesus loves them and died for them just as much as He loves you and died for you.

I don’t know who in your life has told you that you are anything less than the most glorious creation of the almighty God. I don’t know who has spoken words over you and about you that have stripped you bare and broken your heart. But I do know any statements spoken to you that come against the truth must be called a lie.

God’s Word is the Truth. And His Truth says you are a holy and dearly loved child of your heavenly Father.

You are wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

You are a treasure (1 Peter 2:9).

You are beautiful (1 Peter 3:4).

You are fully known by Him and lavishly loved by Him (Psalm 139:1-4).

You are chosen (Ephesians 1:11).

You are special (Ephesians 2:10).

You are full of purpose (Romans 8:28).

You are set apart (2 Timothy 2:21).

Even if you don’t always feel like these things are true. Even if you don’t feel known or understood. Our feelings aren’t always an accurate assessment of what’s true. Cling to the words of 1 John 4:16 today: “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.

Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them”. Release the lies you’ve believed that make you feel less than who you are, and set your mind and heart on God's Truth.

We must remember God’s words. Repeat God’s words. Believe God’s words with our whole hearts.

At the beginning of the year, the Lord whispered my word for 2025: Deeper.
I thought it would only mean going deeper in prayer, in Scripture, in His presence. But I’ve discovered that going deeper with Him also means going deeper into my own heart—into what brings joy and peace, but also into the places that ache, the wounds I’d rather not look at. Ah…that’s what he really meant when he whispered that word to me 🙂 - he wanted to heal my heart.

It reminds me of C.S. Lewis’ story in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Eustace, the boy who became a dragon, tries to scratch off his own scales but could never get them all. Then Aslan comes. The Lion digs his claws in so deeply it feels like he is clawing into his very heart. It hurts terribly…yet it was the only way for the dragon skin to truly come off to reveal the true identity of the boy hiding underneath. The process, painstakingly difficult, but once all the scales are gone, Eustace is restored—tender, clean, and free.

The process might not be pleasant, but sometimes the Lord peels back our “dragon scales”— those old wounds, false identities, or defenses we’ve built, and even though the unlayering can feel raw and vulnerable, with Jesus it is always safe. Let Him do it and don’t run from this process. We all have them- and he wants them gone!

What I’m learning, and what I want to say to you today is this: don’t be afraid of the unlayering. Lay down the dragon skin. I know it can feel like it’s protecting you, but it isn’t who you really are. What feels like pain is often the very process of freedom. The Lion is making you new, and there is nothing more freeing or more beautiful than going deeper with Him.

“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”Ezekiel 36:26 (ESV)
