Let's get real simple: Nothing is Wasted With God

Life may drain you, but nothing you give to God is ever forgotten. With Him, even the smallest act has eternal weight - so don’t let the enemy keep you from giving it.

Life can feel like a constant cycle of demands and fights. The to-do lists never end. Work piles up. You do your best, but it often feels like there’s always more to carry. And in the middle of it all, you begin to feel like finding time for God just adds to your burden.

But, God’s not a burden to be carried or an item on a to-do list. He’s a father and a friend, patiently waiting for moments with someone He loves. That’s you! And He will take anything you give him - a quick moment of gratitude, a whispered prayer, a small act of love - and He calls it precious. Let’s get real simple about this: with God, nothing is wasted.

Jesus said, *“My yoke is easy and My burden is light”* (Matthew 11:30). Compared to the heavy load the world puts on you, what God desires from you is light. He doesn’t demand endless striving; He delights in every moment you give Him.

Even the smallest thing in His name is remembered. Jesus promised, *“If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward”* (Matthew 10:42). Nothing slips past Him.

Every prayer, every act of love, every choice to trust Him; it all counts. It may feel small now, but it will echo in eternity (1 Corinthians 15:58).

That’s the difference between God’s work and everything else. Jobs, possessions, accomplishments - they fade away. But the moments that include God last forever. Even the smallest deposit into eternity will never be lost (Matthew 6:19–20).

Ok, here’s the simple but important part: God’s enemies are working tirelessly to keep you from yielding to these moments. They whisper that it’s not worth it. They distract you with busyness. They weigh you down with guilt, fear, or apathy. Don’t let them dissuade you. Don’t let them steal from you what is eternal.

Instead, grab the opportunity. Offer the prayer. Speak the kind word. Trust Him in the small things. Do it today. Do it tomorrow. And remember, for the rest of your life, how precious these moments truly are.

Let’s get real simple about finding God

We don’t walk toward God because we don’t really expect to  find  Him. But, what if the thing that's been missing this whole time isn't God's presence, but our expectation? If you’ve ever felt like life is falling apart and there's no way out, you’re not alone. I’ve been there - totally wrecked, no hope left, and nothing I could do to fix it. One day in 2016, I ended up in this small, dim room in a church I’d never been to before. I didn’t go there because I was religious. I went there because I was desperate. I told God—straight up—“You have to change my life. I’m not moving until I hear from You.” I cried, begged, waited… and got nothing. Came back the next day. Same thing. But then, something happened. Not in some dramatic movie scene kind of way, but in a way that flipped my life upside down. Jesus showed up. Not in a vision or a flash of light. I just suddenly knew He was there. I felt comforted. Seen. Known. It’s hard to describe, but it was like my soul finall...

Let’s get real simple about meeting God

You and I didn’t choose to be born—we just showed up one day, breathing, thinking, living. And whether we like it or not, there’s someone behind that. The Bible says that at some point—either during our life or at the very end—we will meet the One who gave us life. No one gets a pass. Everyone will face God eventually. But here’s the thing: why wait until we die to meet Him? If we were made by Someone, wouldn’t it make sense to know who that Someone is while we’re still alive? Ok, here’s the simple but important part. The best thing we could ever do with our time is get to know Jesus. Not religion. Not rules. Him. Jesus isn’t just a historical figure or a name people throw around at church. The Bible says He’s the one through whom everything was made - including you. So if you’ve ever wondered about your purpose, your identity, or why life even matters, Jesus is the starting point . Eternal life isn’t just about some future heaven thing. It’s about knowing Jesus. That’s literally ...

Let’s get real simple about wisdom, life, and the One who dreamed you up

Ever feel like you're just winging it through life? Yeah… same. Turns out, that’s the starting point for real wisdom. We all mess up. We all feel lost or unsure sometimes. It’s easy to look around and compare ourselves to others. Maybe you feel smarter, more put together, or just “less of a mess” than someone else, but if there really is a God who knows everything, then none of us are even close to His level. Compared to perfect wisdom, we’re all pretty clueless. That’s not a dig. That’s just honesty. But here’s the cool part: recognizing that we don’t know it all is actually the first step toward real wisdom. Everything in this world seems to come with an opposite: light and dark, good and evil, dry and wet. Same goes for wisdom and foolishness. And the amazing thing is, understanding one side helps you grasp the other. You don’t have to live in darkness to understand light - you just need to see the light . And if you feel stuck in the dark? The light can still reach you. T...
