Stretching Our Capacity

“It is the echo of Eden. The hollow space carved out for the breath of God. The shape of love we were always meant to be filled with. Nothing else fits there. No success, no relationship, no possession, no accomplishment. The ache is holy, because it is the reminder that only One can satisfy.

Because the truth is the ache is not the enemy. It is the invitation. The ache is the signal that points us home, the hunger that draws us to the only One who can fill us. It is not meant to drive us into striving but into surrender.

We were never designed to carry the weight of His presence in our own strength. We cannot hold Him by clinging harder, praying longer, or running further. He alone gives us the capacity to remain in Him. What feels like failure when…

"My precious one, I see you. I see the things you do, the choices you make, the moments where you stumble and fall. I see the words you wish you could take back, the habits you cannot seem to break, the ways you try to protect yourself with anger or with silence. I see when you reach for comfort in places that never truly satisfy. I see your disobedience, and I see your fear.

But that is not what I am most concerned about.

I look deeper. I see past the behavior. I see your heart. I hear the cry you do not speak out loud, the ache that lingers beneath it all.

Am I truly worthy of being loved?

Can You really love me?

Do You mean it when You say You love me?

JESUS PLUS NOTHING: The Simplicity of the Real Gospel

Many people believe that salvation requires more than just faith. Some are taught that to be saved they must believe and do certain works. Others live under the fear that to stay saved they must constantly maintain their salvation through performance.

But the truth of the Gospel is this: you can’t add anything to the finished work of Jesus.

When Jesus cried out on the cross, “It is finished,” He wasn’t leaving something undone for us to complete later. He had fully accomplished salvation. Nothing can be added. Nothing needs to be maintained.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

If we believe salvation requires our works to secure it, then His death was…

THE END OF RIGHT AND WRONG: Letting Go of Judgement in a World That Demands it

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil always feeds the mind. It keeps us in the realm of judgment, separation, and fear. We begin measuring, evaluating, striving to discern what is right or wrong, good or bad, acceptable or not. And in doing so, we close ourselves off from the heart. From union. From the Tree of Life. Because the Tree of Life is not rooted in intellectual striving. It is rooted in revelation. In abiding. In knowing who the Father is and what Love looks like. To walk in Life is to walk in the Spirit. It is to remain in Love.

The idea that “all things are permissible” was radical to Paul’s audience, especially to the Jews or those learning from them. They had lived under the law for so…
