Thank you for being part of our community, the deepest within you, finding your in-between,
and living your in-between. There were times where I came out of the lava during my journey.
In those times, your inner spirit speaks to you.
It may be a simple feeling, or uneasiness, or a feeling within my gut. During this time, I
required myself to ask for revelation. What am I doing wrong? God made everything with a
place and a purpose, even if wicked are included, but for judgment.
Proverbs 16 and 4. God intentionally created you and me with unique roles and destiny within
the world. He made you to live a purpose life, living in alignment with deep values and a sense
of profound connection to others within the world. With a commitment to spiritual growth and
wholeness, we focus on inner development, inner visuality, rather than material success.
It’s often expressed through compassion, honesty, forgiveness, with a sense of purpose. It
assists us in promoting a feeling of interconnectedness with others to contribute a sense of
meaning and fulfillment in life, which we need more of today. We cultivate these practices like
prayer, meditation, a commitment to ethical behavior or spiritual growth.
We share in spiritual traditions core values, demonstrating their foundational importance. Faith
to trust and believe in God with spiritual principles, not only for us, but for others. Rather than
align fear, anxiety, or uncertainty, we align ourselves, focus on the divine promises and
strength.
Fear is a natural human emotion, and faith empowers us to endure difficulties and trust in
purpose and plan, even when circumstances or challenges arise. We choose to prioritize God’s
promise and guidance over panic when life feels chaotic, which is today, we feel a lot of things
that’s going on around us, and we all seek in love and peace and understanding. Within these
moments, faith doesn’t mean fear disappears completely.
Instead, it develops the inner strength to not be paralyzed by fear, to act with courage and
peace through it. Overwhelmed moments reinforce our belief that a divine entity is in control,
providing comfort and taking moments throughout our day to pray, remind us to cultivate the
trust and stay connected. Connecting with others who may have or are walking a similar
journey as oneself, giving mutual encouragement, providing strength and support.
What are some faith practices you can meditate on or engage in to displace inner fear or
anxiety? God is always with you and I and love us. How do you see yourself loved by him? In my
story, where it’s hope, looking back, I searched for desire for things to happen while I walked
through the pain behind a smile. I look for women who was walking in my shoes.
There were many, some in the same areas as I searched, but one day, sitting alone in despair, I
happened to turn on the television. I sat quietly watching, taking in all their experiences. As I
watched, I found myself all three of the ladies.
While I sat there, I noticed we all had the same response, but nowhere to turn for help. Psalms
91 and 2, God speaks of this. I declare by the Lord, he’s alone as my refuge, my place of safety.
He is my God and I trust him. I’m grateful with years moving forward, we are equipped with
more tools and resources that surrounds us. We are releasing the quo of sweeping it under the
rug.
The world is unpacking his weight. Hope rooting God divine promises and faithfulness bring a
firm assurance on the foundation of faith with anticipation of future blessing, spiritual union,
and eternal future. We may sometimes think it’s wishful thinking, above all, a firm belief
through our vision, dreams, and spoken words that we may have to come, that may come to us
from God.
It’s very secure and rooted foundation when circumstances are difficult. We may view it
through certainty or uncertainty. Spiritual hope is assurance that it will come to pass as the
Lord has given it to you.
Hope is the action and promises don’t change with desires or circumstances. Hope is one
alongside faith and love. We cultivate it with patience, courage, persistence, and it’s powerful in
terms of strength, directions within our life challenges.
We are positive that something good will come from this situation and come to pass.
Individuals hold on to promises, eternal and patient expectation. Hope is expressed through
acts of kindness and service to others.
As we receive personal or collective change and positive change, it gives the desires for a better
future. Hope is a motivational force and a mental shield against despair and physical well-being
by inspiring goal-directed behavior and enhancing our motivation. It supports our growth,
navigates setbacks, and improves our relationship with ourselves and others around us.
Hope energizes us through the action of taking steps towards our goals and persisting through
setbacks rather than giving into despair. It’s our human survival. Love is the utmost profound
and selfless care for others, the center that serves as the basis of faith.
It is the core of Christian biblical principle derived from the scriptures 1 Peter 4 and 8 which
states above all love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins. Demonstrating
love within ourselves and others should be primary focus to cover over many shortcomings and
keep the community unified. We will experience hardships and trouble in life.
Jesus’ victories over sin and death bring us peace and confidence in facing many challenges. It
is a deep internal peace and well-being that originates in their relationship with him. He doesn’t
promise an easy life but rather a realistic expectation of suffering and hardship.
In those impending difficulties, the tools and resources to gain courage and confidence rely on
his strength. It’s the root of or the foundation of hope and courage. Hope even in the darkest
situation.
There is an ultimate victory. God doesn’t abandon us during hardships and tribulations but
provide us with endurance and assurance that he’s already overcome them for us. We can rest
in Jesus’ strength and peace rather than relying on our own abilities to overcome life difficulties.
Believers are also called to avoid condemning others for the sin. God has the authority to judge
the ultimate heart of a person. Matthew 7 warns against hypocritical judgment, urgent self
examination before critiquing others’ faults.
Christ died for our sins. We emphasize we exercise discernment by making choices that align
with the will of God in our lives, recognizing right from wrong. Through self-examination, self
reflection, the deepest within us with an open heart can we connect with Christ, honestly
assessing our own thoughts, actions, motives, and spiritual state.
As we continue to follow our purpose and plan that Christ designs, we recognize areas of
weakness or blind spots. Through reading scripture with finding your in-between, you will
receive a clear, humble, and honest doubt of one’s self without self-accession to recognize the
areas in which we fall short of the Lord’s glory. The ultimate goal is to self-discover hidden
areas where we are not living according to our faith principles, living to confession and
repentance with the Lord that transfer our lives to live in alignment with his will and character.
The Holy Spirit brings conviction and guidance by inviting God to search our hearts to reveal us
offensive ways or areas that need correction. It allows us to confirm that our faith is genuine,
that we are truly in Christ. We can restore and strengthen our fellowship with Christ as
individuals in holiness and alignment with living in-between with Christ’s disciplined and
spiritual growth, leading us to the first and many steps towards freedom and positive change
within us.
What are some areas in your life you have self-explored? What are some self-discoveries you
are willing to confess to thy own self? What are some self-revelations Christ has shown you for
a greater outcome? We are all a masterpiece of Jesus Christ and his creation. As we come to the
end of today’s episode, I want to thank you for joining me on this journey exploring the deepest
within you. I hope our discussion has inspired you to look within, connect with your inner self,
remember the path to self-awareness, self-explore, self-discovery and personal growth is a
continuous journey.
Every step you take brings you closer to fulfillment and purpose, the deepest within you.
Embrace the journey, trust the process, allow yourself to glow and grow through the
experiences. I encourage you to continue exploring the biblical principles and spiritual
teachings that resonate with you and to apply them in your daily life, finding your in-between.

words are not by might, but by the Holy Spirit’s silence in the night and bring revelation into
your life of the Lord’s purpose and alignment with Him.
Have a beautiful and glorious week. God’s blessings and much love to you.
