Receive His Word & Trust HIs Grace

Receive His Word & Trust HIs Grace

Sometimes God does not speak through the earthquake the fire or the storm. He speaks through a whisper. A quiet nudge a scripture that burns in your heart a feeling that will not leave. “Hear Him” means more than listening. It means trusting Him enough to follow. God will often lead us out of comfort and into growth. Not to punish us. But to sanctify us. The more intentionally we seek Him through prayer scripture the temple and stillness the more clearly we begin to hear Him.

When Hungry Hearts Turn Heavenward

Jesus never asked us to be perfect first. He asked us to seek Him first. Hungry souls that turn toward heaven will never leave empty. He is still the Bread of Life. Still nourishing, still filling, still multiplying the little we place in His hands.

Breaking, Binding & Blossoming in Christ

Today’s enLIGHTen felt like standing beneath the branches of the Tree of Life and remembering that God is always reaching toward us. 🌿 With Dianna Istook Abbott, we talked about trees, temples, priesthood power, spiritual treasures, and the beautiful truth that growth often happens in hidden places first. Just like roots stretching deep underground before fruit appears, so much of what God is doing in us happens quietly before it blossoms. One of my favorite thoughts from today: The branch that seemed “imperfect” was the very branch reaching down closest to the ground… reminding us that Christ meets us exactly where we are. 🤍 We talked about how the Tree of Life begins in Genesis and appears again in Revelation… how light overcomes darkness… how the Savior nourishes us little by little… and how every covenant, every prayer, every small act of turning toward Him is part of our journey back to the presence of God.

Glorying in Jesus: How we Publish Peace

You know, sometimes we think the glory of God is something big, something loud, something seen by everyone. But today reminded me that it’s often found in the quiet—in the early morning, in the simple choice to turn to Him in the moments no one else sees. How beautiful it is to publish peace, not just to the world, but in our own hearts with Him. We don’t glory in Him by being perfect; we glory in Him by returning again and again. He is still the Deliverer, still the Healer, still the One who meets us right where we are. And somehow, that’s where the light feels the brightest. Carpe diem—seize the day, and let Him be part of it. 🤍✨

From Barren to Blossoming: Abding in the Vine

We jumped into the water… . and nothing happened Until we moved And suddenly—light . It reminded me how often I wait for God to act in my life while staying still . But faith isn’t passive It’s movement . It’s choosing gratitude over murmuring . It’s trusting when you only hold one puzzle piece . He is the vine We are the branches . And when we stay connected— we don’t just survive, we bear fruit. . Your life isn’t barren. It’s becoming 🌿
