My Thoughts Toward You

 You may not feel like you fit the mold. Maybe you don’t go to church every Sunday. Maybe religion never made much sense to you. But there’s something inside you that still believes God is real. Still hopes He hasn’t forgotten you. Still wonders if there's a place for you in all of this.

There is.

The Kingdom of God was never about building a club for the perfect. It was never about getting the bad to act good. It was always about bringing the dead back to life. Those whose hope died. Whose years were stolen. Whose joy was buried. Whose strength ran out.

The heart of God is not against you. It burns for you.

From the beginning, God has always had one desire: to dwell with His people in love, peace, freedom, and abundance. In Eden, He walked with man. In the Promised Land, He promised rest. In Christ, He brought the Kingdom that can never be shaken. The story hasn’t changed—just the chapters.

Isaiah 61 says He came for the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, and the prisoners. He came to comfort those who mourn and to give beauty for ashes. He came to give back what the locusts stole and restore what was lost. He came to establish you, to make you a pillar that never has to leave His presence again.

That’s the will of God.

His thoughts toward you are not of punishment, but of peace. Not of judgment, but of joy. His intention has always been to bring you into a place where you can breathe again. A place of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. A place with homes you didn’t build and vineyards you didn’t plant—where you finally get to rest and live.

That’s what Jesus came to give. Not a new religion, but a new life.

And with that life comes freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from shame. Freedom from worrying about what others think. In Christ, you are accepted—not tolerated, not conditionally loved, but fully accepted.

"To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved." (Ephesians 1:6)

If you’ve ever felt too far, too messed up, too outside—you are exactly the one He came for. You are the target of Heaven.

Come home.

God already made the way. And He’s still saying:

“I know the thoughts I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

That future is now. The door is open.

Welcome to the Kingdom.

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - יַעֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

God's Desire for Us to Thrive

When we hear or read the words, “For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope,” we often stop at the comfort of the promise—but those thoughts aren’t vague. They’re visible. They’re written into the entire story of Scripture. From the Garden to the Kingdom, God’s intention has always been for His people to thrive. In Genesis 2, God didn’t create man and then look for a place to put him—He prepared Eden first, a place of beauty, abundance, and provision. Then He placed man in that garden. That is the heart of the Father: to position His children where they can thrive. Later, when delivering His people from Egypt, He didn’t just bring them out—He brought them in. Into a land flowing with milk and honey, a land He handpicked for them (Deuteronomy 8:7-10). Just like Eden, this land was a reflection of His desire to see His people not just survive, but flourish. We see this truth echoed throughout Scripture. Th...
