“If your right eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it from you…”
— Matthew 5:29–30 NASB1995
💔 Radical Faithfulness
Jesus uses intense imagery here to wake us up to the seriousness of sin. He’s not calling us to mutilation, but to elimination. Cut off whatever causes you to stumble—whether it’s a habit, relationship, or device.
Kingdom women don’t flirt with sin. They flee from it. Jesus is worth more than anything you might be tempted to keep. Your purity, peace, and purpose are worth guarding—because they reflect Him.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
The early Church practiced radical repentance. Converts burned scrolls of sorcery, fled immoral professions, and broke ties with sin to walk in the light. They didn’t downplay sin—they surrendered it.
💭 Reflect
- What have I tolerated that Jesus says to tear out?
- Am I willing to give up what draws me away from Him?
✨ Prayer
Lord, show me what needs to be removed from my life. Give me the courage to let go of anything that keeps me from You. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
