Matthew 7:12 says: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…” This verse came up on the Holy Bible app as I was praying this morning and it made me think, it always sounds simple… until life gets messy. Because if we’re honest, our default as humans isn’t selflessness. We often judge ourselves by our intentions, but we judge others by their actions. It’s easier to point the finger than to pause and look in the mirror. Jesus invites us into a different way. When someone hurts us, it’s natural to want justice, explanations, or distance. But if we’re really brave, we can ask ourselves: When I’ve hurt someone ( intentionally or not ) what did I hope for? Grace or punishment? Understanding or condemnation? A second chance or a final verdict? The same is true when someone is struggling. In our own hard seasons, most of us don’t want fixing, we want someone to sit with us, listen and help us process without judgement. We want compassion, not correction. Presence, not pressure. And when someone simply annoys us ( because… people 😅 ), we’re reminded that we’re all works in progress. Every one of us has needed patience at some point. So this week, maybe the invitation is this: Before reacting, pause and ask, If I were them, what would I need right now? Living like Jesus isn’t about perfection. It’s about choosing grace when it’s easier to withhold it. Mercy when pride wants the last word. Love that looks a little more like Him than like our first instinct. Let this be a gentle mirror, not a weapon. And a reminder that how we treat others is often the loudest reflection of what’s happening in our own hearts. 🤍

Hi. I wish to be called Tari. This name means 'Beloved' in Ijaw language. It reminds me that God loves me irrespective of my journey so far. Perhaps you are Tari too because God's love is unique yet universal. It is real. He reminds me that it is not how I started that matters but by his grace and mercy, the journey will end with great joy. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Danielle and Suzanne. 🤗

Good morning lovelies, Wow what a lovely start to the day I had with God this morning, I woke at 6am so I could make some time, nipped down to make a coffee and when I returned upstairs with it, my youngest son Omari had climbed into my bed - I love the morning cuddles with him although they are becoming less as he’s getting older ( he is 7 ) so appreciating every moment 🥰 We then tuned in together to a 6 minute daily walk with with God on the free Glorify app - link here 👇 https://share.glorify-app.com/DANIELLEhvmm After that I went onto the Holy Bible app and we did the kids section and prayed together for 10 mins or so - I am so grateful that he has God in his life, as when I was bringing my older children up I was not walking with Christ ( although seeds are definitely being planted as they are watching my husband and I on our journey ) Ben woke after this and we prayed quietly together, such a lovely way to begin the day!
