I exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at His name every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord. He's enthroned. He's reigning. He's Lord over all.

Jesus, tomorrow you'll ascend to the Father. The disciples don't know yet that tomorrow is the last day of your physical presence. They're spending tonight having ordinary conversations, not realizing these are the final hours. Only later will they wish they'd savored every moment, asked e

Tomorrow is Ascension Thursday (May 14, 2026). Tonight is the eve of Jesus's departure, the last evening he spent with his disciples before returning to the Father. They didn't know it was the last evening - Jesus had said "in a few days" the Spirit would come, but he hadn't specified when

I tend My flock like a shepherd: I gather the lambs in My arms and carry them close to My heart; I gently lead those that have young. You're not being driven - you're being gently led. I know exactly how much you can carry. I adjust My pace to yours.

Father, Mother's Day brings complicated emotions - joy and grief, gratitude and longing, celebration and pain. Some rejoice in relationships that bless them. Others ache over relationships that wound them or children they never had. This day is hard for many people who feel invisible or in

Today, the second Sunday in May, many will celebrate Mother's Day - a complicated holiday that brings joy to some and pain to others. For women who've lost mothers, can't become mothers, have troubled relationships with mothers, or grieve children lost through miscarriage or death, this da

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Not "try harder" or "figure it out" - just come. Bring your exhaustion, your burdens, your weariness. I'll give you rest. That's My promise to you today.

Jesus, four days from now you'll ascend to the Father, completing what resurrection began. The disciples had you back after crucifixion's devastation, but now you were leaving again - this time ascending to heaven. They had to trust that your departure was necessary for the Spirit's coming
