“And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”

When did you give your heart to the Lord? As a child, as a teen, or as an adult?

That does not matter just that He did come in, our lives have been marked one way or another to make an impact on us and for us to make the same impact on others. We learn, grow and we practice and this must be with all intention if we do not live intentionally our lives will feel empty and void.

Jesus came to the Samaritan woman by the well and gave her hope. He healed the lame man in front of the healing Pool. He freed from demons a possessed man, and all the miracles mentioned in the new testament where Jesus was present and things happened even the wedding where out of season he changed water into wine. He calls us to be like Him, BE HOLY BECAUSE I AM HOLY is something we need to keep in mind when at home, at work, and store shopping. People are ruthless when they don’t understand why we walk and talk God’s love, when in trial we hold on to Him for hope. To the world, we are crazy because they don't understand our dedication to follow the teachings of Christ. Always remember when Jesus came to your life, I still remember when He came for me. At 17 years of age, a teen without direction the perfect invitation came to visit a church and I gratefully accepted

October 9th, 1977 Jesus came into my life and never left, He took the time and noticed me. Just like that lives are changed the important thing is what you do with that encounter that made you look up and realize how special you are to Him. The seed of the Gospel lived day to day is an opportunity for us to spread His word in this field that needs it desperately. That day we become the hope the world wants so be compelled to show it. When Jesus came we became whole and the Holy Spirit fulfill to seal our lives so no matter how many times we fail in one way or another we are sealed for his glory. Think of glitter, it’s sticky when loose and it stays in everything we touch. The word of God when lived intentionally is like that glitter and when it comes out of its container it sticks to everyone we touch, talk to, and pray for the best of all glitter is bright yellow like gold so it will shine through.

When Jesus came as a child we celebrated Christmas, the birth of our savior but that marked the beginning of a new era called Grace. As the story unfolds He started his ministry and called his disciples one by one, each one was unique. Jesus did not look at their current position He did look at what they can do for the kingdom. He chose you because He knew your heart, broken or whole He does not judge the current He sees the future, your future. Remember He is the God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow and He stands in your future before you can fathom it.

Jesus came to Moses in a fiery bush, to Jacob as an angel, and to Mary as Gabriel to announce Jesus coming.

He came with a purpose in mind and we are the tools He uses to fill this earth with the Gospel, so do not be afraid of your calling, He can be specific or not but He needs your impact to shake the people out of their sin. He is the owner of the glitter made of gold Salvation is available to all who listen and accept the cross. Visualize a classroom filled with students (US) and the Teacher (Jesus) takes out the glitter container and the Glue. Every child will take glitter in their clothes, their hair, and their backpacks home where mom and dad recognize the activity. As I write this I can imagine it and I know you can too.

Spread the Gospel like the glitter everywhere!

Well, some days we don’t feel like we can or have no energy to do so, ask and you shall receive. For everything in our lives, there is a verse in the bible we can apply it to. So a defeated Christian you will never just follow your teacher's steps left behind in His word. “My children do not serve the Lord”

No matter what you see know Jesus will come for them too. There is no wayward child God cannot reach. As for me and my house will serve the Lord is a promise given and we must profess it, confess it.

Habakkuk 2:1

I will stand at my watch

In the world’s eyes, something broken is often seen as useless—something to be discarded and forgotten. Life has a way of leaving us feeling that way. Trials, family struggles, disappointments, and the weight of daily stress can fracture the heart. Some wounds run deeper than others, but brokenness is something we all experience.

Now imagine if God saw us the same way the world does. Imagine if He discarded every broken vessel. But He doesn’t. Instead, He fills His Word with promise after promise—reminders that we are valuable, chosen, and deeply loved. He knew we would face brokenness, yet He still called us His own.

His promises bring hope in despair, peace in chaos, and joy in sorrow. He has said He will never leave us—and that alone is enough. No matter what we face, He walks with His children. When storms come, He covers us. When the heat of life feels unbearable, He provides shade. When sorrow overwhelms, He restores joy.

So who are we to discard what God is willing to restore?

We are called to reflect His heart—to bring light in darkness, comfort in pain, and hope where there seems to be none. Especially as women of faith, we are often vessels of encouragement in moments when others feel alone and overwhelmed.

Isaiah 40:31
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint.”

Sometimes, it is in our deepest brokenness that God teaches us the most. Those moments—though painful—are often where His presence feels closest. In those times, He speaks clearly. He not only ministers through us to others, but also back to our own hearts. The very words that flow from us become healing for someone else—and for ourselves.

That is the beauty of being a “broken vessel.” Even with cracks, we still carry something valuable. Like a stream that carries a water lily, there is still beauty flowing through us, even in our brokenness.

Think about the times you were hurting, and someone spoke words that brought peace to your soul. Often, the most powerful words come from hearts that have known pain. Why? Because brokenness produces humility, vulnerability, and compassion. And those are the very places God uses most.

Brokenness may mean being fragmented, but we serve a Master who restores without losing a single piece. While the world offers false hope and emptiness, God rebuilds with purpose. And sometimes, He allows breaking—not to destroy us, but to reshape us.

Do not fear the process. Even the hard seasons are working for your good.

A vessel is created to hold something. Jesus said He is the living water—and we are the vessels that carry Him. Imperfect, yes. Different shapes and sizes, yes. But still chosen. Still purposeful. Still valuable.
