At first glance, “an eye for an eye” sounds like something harsh, like payback or revenge. It feels like, “You hit me, I’ll hit you back. You hurt me, I’ll hurt you worse.” But let’s take it slowly and really understand what this meant in the Bible. The phrase appears first in Exodus 21:24, where it stated: “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” Now this wasn’t God telling people to be violent or unforgiving. In fact, it was the opposite. This law was put in place to establish justice with limits. It meant that…

Have you ever wondered why sometimes life feels like it’s giving back what you’ve been giving out? That’s not a coincidence, that’s a spiritual law. It’s such a simple statement but yet carries weight. Whether it’s a seed of peace, love, kindness, or the opposite bitterness, anger, unforgiveness whatever we sow with our hearts, time, and energy will eventually return to us.

If you’re constantly sowing joy and encouragement into people’s lives, even when you’re down, there will…
Being a woman is a beautiful gift, but it also comes with its own unique set of challenges. Sometimes, we carry the weight of the world in silence. We try to be strong for everyone else, and deep down, we’re breaking quietly. There are days we don’t have the words to pray, so we just cry and somehow, that becomes our language with God. As women, we go through phases, waiting seasons, battles with self-worth, heartbreaks, unanswered questions, silent disappointments, and even moments where we doubt if we’re seen or valued. But here’s the truth: God sees us. He hears…
Have you ever been through a season where it felt like everything was being taken away from you? Maybe you thought God was punishing you, but in reality, He was pruning you. Discipline is God’s way of preparing us for greater things. He wants our hearts to be focused, our minds to be renewed, and our spirits to be aligned with His purpose. Discipline by just hearing the word can make anyone feel tense. It’s not the easiest path to walk, but it’s the most rewarding one. In today’s world, discipline is often misunderstood. Many think it’s just about punishment…
Have you ever gone through a season that didn’t make sense where everything seemed to fall apart just when it felt like your life was finally taking shape? That’s where the story of Joseph begins. A young man with a beautiful dream, yet life threw him into pits, prisons, and betrayal. Joseph didn’t ask to be the favorite, yet he was. He didn’t beg to dream, yet God gave him one. And because of that, he grew up hated by his own brothers, not for doing wrong, but for simply being chosen. Still, in the middle of that hatred and…
We have tried to study the Bible and understand the personality of God, but yet, it has been hard to do that. Sometimes, we open the pages and still feel lost. Other times, we read the words, but nothing sticks, no understanding, no direction, just confusion. But the truth is, the Bible is not just a book it is God’s voice written in words. It is His nature poured into pages so we can draw closer to Him. Studying the Bible is not about rushing through chapters or ticking off a reading plan. It is about sitting at His feet,…
What exactly is love? Is it just the sweet words we say to one another? Is it the way someone makes you feel on a good day? Or maybe the little butterflies in your stomach when you see someone you care about? The world often paints love as just feelings, emotions, or romance. But when we take a deeper look through the lens of the Bible, we see that love is far more than that. Love is not just something we feel , it’s something we live. The Bible makes it very clear: love is the heartbeat of everything God…
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself: “Who is my neighbor?” Your neighbor is not just your friend, or the person living next door. Your neighbor is anyone God brings into your life: the stranger on the street, the colleague who misunderstands you, the friend who betrayed you, even the person you find hard to forgive. One of the hardest things to do sometimes is to love someone especially when you feel they don’t deserve it. And yet, this is exactly what the Bible tells us to do. “Love thy neighbor” isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command. But let’s…
Sometimes, life can feel too heavy; the pressure, the silence, the waiting. In those moments, one word of encouragement can be the light that reminds you you’re not alone. Encouragement is that gentle voice that whispers, “You can still make it,” even when everything in you wants to give up. The Bible is filled with verses and stories that lift us, strengthen us, and remind us of who we are in Christ. Encouragement is more than a nice word ,it’s a seed planted into the heart of someone struggling, and God uses that seed to grow strength. Have you ever…
Faith is one of the most powerful forces we have as Christians. It is not just a feeling; it is a posture of the heart. It is waking up each day and choosing to trust God’s word, even when the situation around you says otherwise. It is believing in His promises, even when the delay is long. Faith is what moves mountains not because we’re strong, but because God is. The Bible talks about faith as the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). That means your faith is proof that you trust God’s plan, even when you don’t have…
