Just Be Open! (Hebrews 3:15)

"As has just been said: ‘Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.’" – Hebrews 3:15 (KSB)

   This verse calls us to be open, to listen with receptiveness and a tender heart. Openness is the gateway to divine communication. When we are open, we make room for God to speak, heal, and transform us from within.

   Firstly, open your ear. The words “ear” and “heart” share a root, revealing how deeply listening and loving are connected. To open your ear means to listen without an agenda, to receive rather than react. True listening invites understanding. It allows you to hear God’s whispers in the noise of life, and to recognize His presence in unexpected moments.

   Secondly, open your heart. When your ear is open to hear something new, your heart begins to feel differently. This openness allows compassion, empathy, and transformation to flow. A hardened heart resists truth, but an open heart receives love, correction, and divine direction with humility and gratitude.

   Thirdly, open your mind and your eyes. God is continually revealing new ways of thinking, seeing, and being. Openness of mind breaks cycles of limitation and invites divine creativity. When you allow new perspectives, your vision expands, and you become a co-creator with God in shaping a fulfilling, purposeful life.

   Openness is not weakness, it is strength under surrender. To open your ear, heart, and mind is to say, “Lord, I trust You to show me more.” When you live with openness, you align with the flow of divine wisdom, love, and abundance. There is only one you, and your openness today is vital to co-creating the abundant life that awaits.

   Be Open! (Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭15)

📖 Reflection: Is your heart open to hearing God’s voice today, even if it leads you in a new direction?

💡 Action Step: Take a few quiet moments to listen. Ask God to open your ear, your heart, and your mind to His guidance today.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
