What are you doing with your dash?

Tomorrow is not promised but eternity is…


Mourning has its place, but don’t let sorrow fog your vision. Don’t let grief keep you from the mission. Instead, let it lift your eyes and anchor you with an eternal perspective.


👉🏼Every tear reminds us that time is short.

👉🏼Every loss reminds us what truly matters.

👉🏼Every moment is a gift to point others to Jesus.


We all have an expiration date with an exit ramp:

➡️ eternal life

or

➡️ eternal death

…and there is only One Savior who leads us to life.


Your dash is brief.

Redeem the time.

Live today like eternity is real—because it is.


🫶🏼 Save this for days when you need a reminder to lift your gaze… Share with a friend who might need this encouragement today.


🙏🏼 Jesus, we beckon Your return—for the days we live are like the days of Noah. Yet as we wait, let our lives reflect the only reason we still have breath in our lungs: to tell others of the goodness of our God, here on earth as it is in Heaven! Holy Spirit, lead us—we will follow with reckless abandon, empower us to redeem the time and honor You with our dash. In Jesus’ Name, amen.


📖 “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” (Ephesians 5:15–16, NKJV)

I’ve been there...


Praying for breakthrough. Declaring scripture. Doing “all the right things”—but still wondering why I felt stuck.


Why wasn’t anything changing?


I thought I was in a spiritual battle with the enemy… and I was.But what I didn’t realize was that part of the fight was with me—with old thoughts, emotions, and mindsets that didn’t want to die.I was agreeing with Truth out loud… but internally? I was still wrestling.


If you’ve ever felt that tension, this is for you.

We pray for breakthrough.

We declare the Word—but still feel stuck.

Why?

Because the battle isn’t just with the enemy.

Sometimes it’s with the parts of us that just don’t want to die.


The lie says:

“This is just how I am.”

“I’ll never change.”

“I’ve always struggled with this.”


But the Truth says:

You are crucified with Christ. It is no longer you who live, but Christ who lives in you. (Gal 2:20)


That means you’re not fighting FOR freedom—you’re fighting to stay in agreement with it.😉


Freedom isn’t found in feelings.

It’s forged in faith… and somedays, our hallelujah is hard fight, but it’s ALWAYS worth it!🙌🏼 God promises to inhabit the praises of His people! When we praise Him, darkness HAS to flee!👊🏼


So today—don’t follow your emotions. Don’t negotiate with your old nature.

Crucify what keeps you bound.

And walk like the door’s already open—because it is. If something stirred in you as you read this—don’t brush it off. That resistance you feel? It might just be the part of you that’s still agreeing with the lie. But freedom is available… right now. Not when you feel it. Not when it makes sense. But when you decide to agree with Truth.


So take the next step.

Download the 5-Day Freedom Devotional and let God meet you there.Because the door isn’t locked—it’s already open. And you were made to walk soar through it!

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
