“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” — Philippians 4:8

Philippians 4:8 gives us a filter — not for scrolling, but for dwelling.

1. Have I trusted in Christ alone for salvation?

Salvation begins not with behavior, but belief.

• Do I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who lived perfectly, died for my sin, and rose again

• Have I personally repented and placed my faith in Him—not my own efforts—for forgiveness and eternal life?

Sometimes Jesus suffers with us instead of rescuing us from it—because of what He's doing in it.

We often assume:
“If God really loved me, He would have stopped it.”

But God’s love doesn’t always express itself in protection from pain—sometimes, it reveals itself in presence within pain.

Have you ever wondered if Jesus really understands what you're going through? When we’re suffering—especially in ways that feel isolating, misunderstood, or deeply painful—it can be hard to imagine that God truly knows what it’s like.

I remember seasons of sleepless nights. Some of these were due to pregnancy or late night feedings, but others were because my mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, worries, or fears.

Hi Friend. It’s good to share words with you! I haven’t written a blog post in almost a year. Life has been full in both wonderful and hard ways. My daughter recently turned two. As joyful as it is being her mother, it’s also busy and leaves very little time in this season for extracurriculars like writing blog posts.
