“Let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’”
— Matthew 5:37 NASB1995
✊ Say What You Mean
Jesus isn’t just talking about swear words here. He’s talking about integrity. No need to say, “I swear” or “I promise.” If you’re honest, people will believe you without extra fluff.
In a world full of filters and fakes, your honest voice is powerful. Your word should carry weight because your life is consistent.
🖊 Real Talk:
- Do people trust what you say?
- Are your “yes” and “no” clear, kind, and reliable?
✨ Try This:
Pay attention to your words this week. Follow through on your yes. Stick to your no. Watch how it builds trust.
✍️ Prayer:
Jesus, help me speak clearly and honestly. Make me someone who reflects You in every conversation. 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.

● I don’t have a budget for an editor, publisher, or team behind the scenes. Everything you see here is created prayerfully and paid for out of pocket, using the tools I can afford to help present a clear, polished message of truth and hope.
