Good Friday 2024. 🖤

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. -Isaiah 53:5‭-‬6 NIV

Dear Father God,

Today, we remember the pain and suffering at Calvary and all that our savior Jesus Christ was willing to endure so we could be set free from our sins. He paid the price, such a great sacrifice, to offer us the gift of eternal life. Thank you for your son, our Lord, and savior.

In honor of Jesus’s crucifixion and sacrifice, may this world and social media go dark to honor his death.

May every knee bow.

Amen.

DO, don’t just quote this MLK Day.

Use this day to add to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call of action, service, and unity.

The MLK holiday should be a day on, not a day off. How can you serve today?

✨️ Dr. King was a Baptist Minister: volunteer your time or attend a church service. Go worship and thank God for His love, grace, and mercy.

✨️ Dr. King was a bold activist and advocate: educate others on issues that help further the fight for civil rights, social justice, racism and equality.

✨️ Dr. King was a generous philanthropist: donate to a charity or organization that helps champion civil rights, social justice, racism and equality.

That’s how you can truly honor his legacy and leadership.

Thank you, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. May your legacy and dream continue to bless and inspire us all. 👑🖤💐

xoxoxo, a philanthropist ♥️

We can change the trajectory of this world for the better, one kind act and one selfless act of service at a time.

The greatest privilege of my life is not being an “influencer.” It’s having that “influence” ignite “impact.”

Because impact saves those who need saving.

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

–Philippians‬ ‭4:12‭-‬13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I’m just a girl who grew up on the Westside of Detroit trying to serve God’s people. If you aren’t serving others, then what are you truly doing?

Oh, aight.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭55:22‬

It’s easy to get distracted by life and the problems that it brings. In an effort to provide some relief, we often, as humans, want a quick fix. But seldom are those quick fixes in life fixes at all. As believers, we must understand that even God’s miracles and resolutions can take time and require patience.

Your burdens, trials, tribulations, and storms may be the result of unforeseen circumstances and external sources that were completely out of your control. On the contrary, they may be a result of our own mistakes and free will decisions. Either way, we must take responsibility and accountability for what we can and know that God will be there every step. God is well aware that there are things that are out of our control and realizes that there is evil in this fallen world. He also realizes that evil may come at our expense, but there is no need to make excuses or worry.

It’s imperative to look at your life and situation from a realistic perspective and begin seeing the circumstances through eyes filled with truth. If you continue to make excuses and distort reality, there will be no progression. As believers, God is asking us to bring our burdens to him and accept responsibility, repent, and begin moving forward with our newfound freedom. Bringing your burdens to God and owning your role in them allows God to make transformative changes in your life and situation.

God’s love for his children will never change. There is nothing we can do that can make God love us any less than he does. We were created by God, and we remain His for better and for worse. Please remember that God’s mercy and grace are sufficient and will be all we will ever need in every moment.
