2 Corinthians 5:18 “All things are from God… even our reconciliation, His gift to us through Jesus. What is a ministry…the ministry of reconciliation? Can we encourage people to be reconciled to God if we’ve not been reconciled ourselves? Paul didn’t write his letter to the Corinthians without his personal experience of reconciliation. That day, on the road to Damascus, Jesus changed Paul’s life forever. Jesus offered him something he didn’t know he wanted, but desperately needed. That season in Paul’s life, when Jesus anointed him to be a part of the ministry of reconciliation, not only gave him a new purpose, life focus, it gave Paul the ability to be an example of the righteousness of God. We can’t say he was without sin, but we can say he was led by the spirit. If anyone believed he was unworthy to be reconciled to God, Paul’s ‘resume’ proved that Jesus reconciles even ‘wretches like me’. Our testimony bears witness to the power of reconciliation. Everyone needs to hear that message. Perhaps we’ve had a ‘Damascus’ experience, maybe we can point to the day of our own reconciliation, the day when we first believed. That would be the day we started our new job, passing on what we’ve received. Our own reconciliation, harmony with God, loosens our tongue and opens our mouth to speak His Words to the lost, the hopeless, those trapped in a web of lies and deceit. The ministry of reconciliation is vital to eternal life. Paul told the Romans, how can the people know the truth, if they’ve not heard it? And how can they hear if there isn’t a preacher, a minister who said in their heart, ‘Here am I, send me’! Paul received everything he needed to be a part of the ministry of reconciliation, we’ve received it, too…everything we need. Lord, thank You for loving us enough… the whole purpose of creation is reconciliation. It takes our breath away when we think of what it cost You to be our Redeemer. We don’t deserve it. We’re not worthy of it, but we desperately need Your favor

The Father judges no one at all, but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son. - Jesus Christ John 5:22

Forgiven and Free John 3:17 comes right after one of the most famous verses in the Bible, and it continues to clarify the manner in which Jesus brings us eternal life. The great gift of God through Jesus comes to all who believe in Jesus as the way to salvation. John tells us that Jesus did not come into the world to condemn the world because of its sin, but rather to save the world through His life, death, and resurrection. It can be easy to feel condemned or guilty because we don’t often see ourselves as worthy of God’s love. But this verse tells us something important—regardless of who you are or what you’ve done, you are loved by God. God is not trying to fill you with guilt or make your life difficult. He wants the best for you and desires a relationship with you. He loved us so much that He sent His only Son to the earth to give us grace and life that we did not deserve. While it is true that Jesus exposes the darkness of this world (John 3:19), anyone who believes in Jesus and follows Him will experience salvation, and all that God has to offer. If we choose to follow the ways of this world rather than Jesus, then our actions and thoughts will lead us to condemnation and death. But if we follow Jesus and believe in His Word, then we will experience eternal life in relationship with God.  Spend some time thanking God for the amazing gift of eternal life that He has given to you for free. Continue to walk in the light of Jesus knowing that you are no longer condemned, but forgiven and free.

I Am Being Built by God God isn't passively watching your life unfold. He's actively building you into something with purpose. You’re being shaped as part of His spiritual house with intention and purpose. Every season, every trial, every moment of growth is forming you into who He designed you to be. Negative Thought: "My life has no direction or purpose." Truth to Replace It: God is actively building my life as part of His greater plan. Think About It: Where do you see God shaping you right now, even in ways that feel slow or uncertain?

Psalm 18:32 - It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

Psalm 65:9 NIV - 9 You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.

With deep sorrow, we say farewell to the last of the original Navajo Code Talkers. Chester Nez has completed his final watch, and with his passing, a legendary chapter of American history quietly closes. He was a man who was once punished as a child for speaking his mother tongue, yet when his country called, he didn’t hesitate. He took that "forbidden" language and wove it into an unbreakable shield, a code born of Navajo spirit that saved countless lives across the blood-stained sands of the Pacific. 🕊️🇺🇸 Imagine the quiet courage of a man who fought for a nation that had not yet fully recognized his own. He carried the weight of a secret war for decades, returning home not to parades, but to a silence he was sworn to keep. He was a hero who didn't need a cape; he only needed his voice and the ancient words of his ancestors to change the course of human history. Now, the line of the Original 29 has finally ended. The frequency is silent. The "unbreakable" heart has found its rest. We owe him a debt that can never be repaid, but we can promise this: we will never forget the name Chester Nez, nor the language that saved the world. Rest in peace, Code Talker. Your mission is complete. 🕊️🇺🇸

Use What You Know God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10 My kids have a hard time with reading. One year, as summer approached, I wondered how I could get my kids to read more. More than just that, I wanted to find books they really liked to read that would hold their interest. Unsure of what to suggest to them, I reached out to my husband’s cousin Holly, who is an avid reader and a middle-school librarian. I asked for her help in finding books my kids would enjoy. She quickly messaged me back with many book suggestions for each of my children, but then she offered something more than just her knowledge: she offered to bring books to my kids after she visited her school’s library the next Tuesday. To say I was overjoyed was an understatement. I was elated. She came by the following Tuesday and spent time with my kids, telling them about the books she picked and why she thought they’d like these particular ones. My kids were sold, and later that afternoon I sent her a picture of them reading in the living room, along with a huge thank-you message. — Today’s Act of Kindness — Use something you are already passionate about to show kindness toward someone else.
