Hey friend,
Today’s show reminded me that love is stronger than we realize.
Stronger than fear.
Stronger than exhaustion.
Even stronger than memory sometimes.
Here are a few moments from today that really stayed with me.
💍 The Lost Diamond
One listener shared how the diamond fell out of her wedding ring while golfing.
She searched everywhere.
Nothing.
Finally she prayed:
“God, if someone else needs this more than I do… let them keep it.”
A couple weeks later?
A stranger called saying they found it.
And instead of keeping the reward money…
they donated it to the The Salvation Army.
That’s such a beautiful picture of letting go and trusting God.
🧠 He Forgot Everything… Except Her
A nurse shared the story of a patient with severe Alzheimer’s.
He forgets almost everything.
But every single morning when his wife walks in…
he smiles and says:
“Hello, my beautiful Kate.”
That one got me.
Because love leaves deeper fingerprints than we realize.
🙏 Prayer Doesn’t Need Perfect Words
One reminder from today I loved:
You can pray anywhere.
In traffic.
In tears.
In silence.
In pajamas.
God doesn’t need perfect words.
He just wants the invitation.
💪 Hope Is Coming
We talked about the moment in the Bible when Jairus was told his daughter had died before Jesus arrived.
Everyone thought hope was over.
But Jesus simply said:
“Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
Maybe you needed that reminder today too.
Hope is coming.
💰 Why Money Doesn’t Fix Everything
Studies show that after people win huge amounts of money…
they actually enjoy ordinary things less.
Breakfast tastes less exciting.
TV becomes less enjoyable.
Shopping loses its thrill.
Maybe that’s because peace was never supposed to come from money.
❤️ Don’t Forget the Third Person
We hear it all the time:
Love God.
Love others.
But sometimes we forget the third person:
You.
One line today really hit me:
“If Jesus wouldn’t say it to you… don’t say it to yourself.”
That’s worth remembering.
🙌 Final Thought
Maybe today you need to stop trying to carry everything alone.
Give it to God.
Even the small things.
Even the lost things.
Even the exhausted parts of you.
He still shows up.
