“Do not show opposition against an evil person…”
— Matthew 5:39 NASB1995
✊ Rise Above the Hit Back Instinct
Everything in culture says, “Get even.” But Jesus says, “Give grace.” The world says, “Clap back.” Jesus says, “Step back.”
He isn’t calling you to be passive—He’s calling you to be powerful enough to choose love over reaction. Real strength is in restraint.
🖊 Real Talk:
- How do you usually respond when someone wrongs you?
- What would it look like to respond with strength and peace?
✨ Try This:
Next time someone disrespects you, pause. Ask: What response would honor Jesus most right now?
✍️ Prayer:
Jesus, help me lead with mercy, not payback. Make me strong enough to reflect You when I’m wronged. 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.
