“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
— Matthew 5:44 NASB1995
🌟 Forgiveness Is Your Flex
Loving your enemies doesn’t mean letting them walk all over you—it means refusing to become like them. It means praying instead of posting, forgiving instead of holding on. This is next-level discipleship.
Jesus loved us when we were His enemies. And now, He calls us to do the same.
🖊 Real Talk:
- Who gets under your skin the most right now?
- What would change if you started praying for them instead of avoiding them?
✨ Try This:
Write the name of someone who’s hurt you. Pray for them this week. Ask God to help you let go.
✍️ Prayer:
Jesus, help me to love the hard people. I want to be like You, not like the world. Teach me how to bless instead of react. 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.
