Bills due… Keep the faith. Kids acting up… Keep the faith. Marriage feeling distant… Keep the faith. Waiting on a job call… Keep the faith. Doctor’s report not clear yet… Keep the faith. Lonely season… Keep the faith. Moving into the unknown… Keep the faith. Prayers feel unanswered… Keep the faith. Friends acting funny… Keep the faith. Business slow… Keep the faith. Healing taking longer than you thought… Keep the faith. Discipline not working yet… Keep the faith. You’re tired but still showing up… Keep the faith. The promise hasn’t shown up yet… Keep the faith. You can’t see the full picture… Keep the faith. Now let’s talk about what that actually means. Because “keep the faith” is not just something Christians say when we don’t know what else to say. 📖 Hebrews 11:1 says: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is not pretending everything is okay. Faith is not ignoring reality. Faith is not toxic positivity. Faith is this: 🧡 Continuing to move when you don’t have proof yet. 🧡Trusting God’s character when circumstances disagree. 🧡 Standing on what He said even when you don’t see it. 🧡 Acting like His promises are true before they materialize. Faith is not blind. It’s anchored. When bills are due, faith says: “I trust God is my provider.” When kids are acting up, faith says: “I trust God is working even when I don’t see immediate change.” When the waiting feels heavy, faith says: “Delay is not denial.” Faith doesn’t mean you won’t feel stress. It means stress doesn’t get the final say. Faith is waking up and choosing trust again. Faith is speaking life when fear tries to run your mouth. Faith is obedience before outcomes. So when we say “keep the faith” — we’re really saying: Keep trusting. Keep standing. Keep believing. Keep showing up. Because God is still God — even in the in-between. 🧡 Now tell me — what area of your life right now requires you to KEEP THE FAITH?

I’m still shocked when people move funny. Still taking offense at behavior You already showed me was coming. Still acting surprised when patterns repeat. And if I’m honest? It’s not that I didn’t see it. It’s that I hoped it would change. Sometimes God warns us … not to make us paranoid but to prepare our posture. And instead of adjusting… we stay open where we should’ve guarded. We stay soft where we should’ve been wise. We stay available where we should’ve stepped back. Then we get offended. But maybe the real issue isn’t them. Maybe it’s that we ignored discernment. Being a Christian doesn’t mean being naïve. Loving people doesn’t mean being blind. Grace doesn’t cancel wisdom. Sometimes the offense hits harder because deep down we knew. Let’s talk. Have you ever: • Been hurt by someone God already showed you about? • Ignored discernment because you didn’t want to seem “judgmental”? • Taken offense at something you were already warned about? No shame. Just maturity.

I don’t know who needs this… but I felt led to share it.

It’s called “Spare the Rod, We Claim the Child.” 🧡 If it’s for you, it’s for you.If not, maybe it’s for someone you know. https://www.bible.com/organizations/f16b484b-5323-4010-97ce-df2f5b9cb32c?utm_source=yvapp&utm_medium=share&utm_content=partner-page

Do people take advantage of you? I’m asking because I see this happen a LOT... especially with Christians.We’re taught to love, forgive, be patient, be kind… and somewhere along the way, kindness gets mistaken for weakness. So we: - keep saying yes when we want to say no - stay quiet to “keep the peace” - overextend ourselves because it feels more “Christian” - allow behavior we know isn’t healthy And then we’re left tired, resentful, and wondering why we feel drained. The Word tells us to love,,,but it does not tell us to be doormats. So let’s open the conversation. 💬 Have you ever felt taken advantage of because you’re a Christian? 💬 How do you personally balance loving people and protecting yourself? 💬 Where do you struggle most with boundaries? No judgment here.Just real people, real faith, real conversations. Drop your thoughts below.... let’s talk.
