“If your right eye causes you to stumble…”
— Matthew 5:29–30 NASB1995
🔥 Cut It Off Before It Kills You
Jesus doesn’t speak in soft tones here. He uses graphic language to make a point: sin is serious, and compromise is deadly. If you know what pulls you into darkness—eliminate it. Not later. Now.
Purity doesn’t happen by accident. It takes guts. Guard your eyes. Make hard choices. Stop justifying what needs to go.
🖊 Real Talk:
- What’s one thing you know you need to cut out but haven’t?
- What’s holding you back from giving it up?
✨ Try This:
Delete, block, or walk away from one thing this week that keeps tripping you up. Tell a trusted friend and invite accountability.
✍️ Prayer:
Jesus, I want to be holy. Show me what to cut out, and give me the strength to do it. I don’t want anything more than I want You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● 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.
