What kind of victory leaves you limping? Perhaps the kind that changes you. Jacob spent much of his life striving for something God had already spoken over him before he was born. Looking at his story made me ask myself a difficult question: *How many times have I exhausted myself chasing something God has already…

✨ New on Grace Across Borders ✨ Sometimes the jobs we overlook carry the heaviest burdens. This week’s reflection is deeply personal — from covering a cleaning shift for my mother years ago, to realizing how quickly we judge work we have never had to do ourselves. What I thought would be “easy work” humbled…
