Beyond Any Doubt

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”—John 20:27 (NIV)
Sometimes, like Thomas, you might demand physical proof before believing, but faith calls for trust in what is unseen. Remember that Jesus’ words to Thomas are meant for you: “Stop doubting and believe.” Let this call to faith encourage you to trust in God, even when you can’t see His plans.
Lord, remove any doubts from my heart and fill it with unwavering belief in You.

Giving Beyond Material Wealth

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.—2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
The true value of a gift is not determined by its monetary worth, but by the love and sincerity behind it. When you give from your heart, you’re offering more than just an object—you share a part of yourself. These are the gifts that truly touch others and reflect God’s love.
Lord, guide me to give generously, cheerfully, and, most importantly, give from my heart.

Take Charge by Letting Go

He must become greater; I must become less.—John 3:30 (NIV)
Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is to let go of your control. When you surrender your will to God, you create space for His divine intervention. It’s in this act of surrender that you truly take charge, not by your strength, but by the power of God working through you. Let go and let God, for it’s only when you stop taking charge that you can truly lead with His wisdom and love.
Father, teach me to find strength in letting go, knowing that You are in control.
