Pain has a way of making us feel alone. Even when surrounded by family, friends, and well-meaning support, some hurts run so deep that words cannot fully express them.

The God Who Sees Me
There are moments in life when we feel overlooked, unnoticed, or forgotten. We may be surrounded by people and yet carry silent burdens that no one else can see. In those moments, one of God’s most comforting names speaks directly to the heart: El Roi, “The God Who Sees Me.”

In his World Communications Day 2027 theme, Pope Leo identified the attention economy as one of the defining spiritual dangers of our age. His concern is not merely about technology or screen time. It is about the human capacity for presence itself.

As I sit with Jesus’ prayer in John 17, one phrase quietly captures my heart: “I have been glorified in them.” What a tender mystery. Jesus looks upon His disciples, frail and imperfect as they are, and sees in them a reflection of His own life. He finds joy in hearts that belong to the Father.

There is something quietly revealing in Christ’s encounter with the rich young man in scripture. The Lord did not ask him to give away his possessions because wealth is evil.

Before long, those whispers in our ears have us evaluating our own story through the lens of someone else’s highlight reel.

Lately, I’ve found myself returning to a simple refrain from a Porter’s Gate song:
“You have given all to me;
To you, O Lord, I return it.
Everything I have is yours.
Do with it what you will.”
When My Soul Is Thirsty
There are seasons in life when words come easily, and there are seasons when they don’t. Seasons when faith feels steady and close, and others when, like the psalmist in Psalm 42, all I can do is acknowledge the thirst.

The world seems smaller than ever. Through the internet, social media, and smartphones, we are constantly connected with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs. While this can sometimes create tension, it also presents an extraordinary opportunity for Christians to witness to the Gospel.
