God sees your unseen sacrifices. Your home is a holy ground where tiny hearts are learning what God’s love looks like. Don’t strive for perfection; strive for presence. Let your kids see grace, not just rules. Let them see you pray, forgive, and lean on Jesus. Because one day, they’ll do the same. You’re doing kingdom work—one bedtime, one hug, one prayer at a time.

When we place our faith in Jesus, we become Christians, but being a disciple of Jesus requires a radical commitment to putting Him first in every aspect of life. Do you want to consider yourself a Christian- or a disciple? Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

But He also spoke resurrection into that same tomb. That’s the hope we cling to—not that we’ll never hurt, but that we never hurt alone. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means allowing God to fill the empty spaces with His peace. In time, your grief can become a testimony and with that comes empathy to bring hope to others.

Have you ever been upset with God? I think anyone who has experienced a tragedy has been at some point. God sees our pain. But He also knows the purpose behind every trial. And just as he raised Lazarus, he wants to bring life into our darker circumstances. Trust that God is at work even when you can’t see it. His plan for you is greater than you can imagine.

But here's the hope: just like the mirror clears, so does our vision of who we are in Christ. As we walk with Him, spend time in His Word, and trust His Spirit, the fog begins to lift.

Subscribe to our Newsletter here! https://mailchi.mp/uss.salvationarmy.org/newsletter-english We can’t receive the microwaved version of our walk with God. This relationship takes time to develop. It takes time to learn the voice of the Holy Spirit. And it takes God time to continue to mold us to look more and more like Christ. So, wherever you are in your journey with God, know that this is a journey worth savoring.

He uses a parable of good and bad trees, and He says by their fruit, we’ll recognize them. Our actions and our words are the fruit we produce to those around us.

Many times we don’t even realize they’re coming. But in the midst of these trials my faith in our Heavenly Father remains the resilient tree in the middle of a charred forest. If we were to truly trust, hope and love the way the Bible encourages- we will see miraculous restoration in the world around us.
