Sometimes we become so focused on asking God to change the people around us that we forget to ask Him to examine our own hearts. Are we becoming more patient? Are we treating people fairly? Are we keeping our word? Are we practising what we preach? Spiritual growth isn’t only about what we receive from God. It’s also about the kind of people we are becoming. Psalm 139:23–24 is worth praying over.

Before you ask God for another blessing today, take a moment to thank Him for the ones you almost stopped noticing. The breath in your lungs. The strength to get out of bed. The people who genuinely love you. The opportunities you still have. The battles He helped you survive. Not every testimony comes with a dramatic announcement. Sometimes being alive, having another chance and still having faith are reasons enough to say: Thank You, Jesus. Happy Sunday. ❤️

A woman can post a picture of herself enjoying a restaurant and someone will ask who paid. She can post a new car and someone will ask which man bought it. She can celebrate a business achievement and someone will suggest she must have had help from a romantic partner. Why is it so difficult for some people to imagine a woman enjoying the results of her own effort? Sometimes the explanation is simply that she worked for it.
