What if the thing you keep asking God for is already in your hand? This week, through Scripture, an old Chinese folktale, and some unexpected reminders, I began to realize that maybe I haven’t been waiting for more. Maybe I’ve been learning to use what God has already given me. Come reflect with me, and…

**Grace to See the Angel Selling Cigarettes** We often have an idea of what someone being used by God should look like. But what happens when the messenger doesn’t look the part? Years ago, on my late-night walks home in Montego Bay, I met an old lady at a little roadside stall. Looking back now,…

Sometimes the blessing isn’t the problem. It’s wondering why it took you ten years to receive what someone else got in ten months. But as my sister Sandy once said, “If God is blessing your friends, it means He’s in the neighborhood.” 🙏🏾💛 This week on Grace Across Borders: Grace in the Neighborhood.

That conversation led me to Paul’s visit to the Areopagus, where he brought the…

Where was the man? That simple question, asked during a VBS lesson, stayed with me long after class ended. How often do we shine a spotlight on one person’s failure while overlooking everyone else’s? And how often are we quick to hold a stone, yet slow to let Christ examine our own hearts? This week’s…

Sometimes God’s greatest acts of grace are the ones we never see. This week, a storm rolled through my community with powerful winds, flash flooding, and damage left behind. As I reflected on the roads I traveled, the decisions I made, and the things that could have happened but didn’t, I was reminded of a…

I had a dream this week that would not leave me alone. Two people I loved were lying in hospital beds. Then a doctor walked in and said, “They’re going to be okay. They’re just resting.” The moment I heard those words, I fainted. As I reflected on that dream, an unexpected lesson emerged through…
