A Little Reminder to Keep Believing!

🦋 💛 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 

2nd Corinthians 5:7

All day today, August 30th 2026, I kept seeing yellow butterflies, and something about them caught my spirit. I couldn’t help but feel as though God was using something so simple and beautiful to remind me, “Keep believing. I am still working.”

A butterfly reminds us that transformation takes time. What once looked confined and hidden in a cocoon eventually emerges changed. And sometimes that is exactly how God works in our lives. We may not see what He is doing behind the scenes, but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening.

I don’t have to know for certain whether every butterfly was a supernatural sign to receive the reminder it stirred in my heart: God is faithful. God is present. And I can trust Him with what I cannot yet see.

Maybe those little yellow butterflies were simply God using His creation to turn my attention back toward Him and remind me that change is coming, hope is alive, and He is still at work.

So today, I’m going to keep believing, keep trusting, and keep watching for God’s hand.

Something beautiful can come from a season that once felt hidden. 🦋💛

🦋 Transformation — God is changing and renewing us. 2 Corinthians 5:17

💛 Hope and joy — a reminder that difficult seasons do not last forever. Romans 15:13

🦋 New beginnings — what looks like an ending may be part of God bringing forth something new. Isaiah 43:19

💛 God’s presence in the little things — creation can turn our attention toward the Creator. Psalm 19:1

🦋 Life is precious and brief — an encouragement to treasure the people and moments God gives us. James 4:14

And, even today, every yellow butterfly made me think of the late Dolly Parton. I didn't know her personally but I grew up on her music and stories. Sometimes God uses the simplest things in His beautiful creation to stir a memory in our hearts and remind us how precious—and brief—this life truly is. May we leave behind the same kind of footprints of kindness, generosity, faith, and love that continue speaking long after we are gone.

“The memory of the just is blessed.” — Proverbs 10:7

A Different Spirit!

“But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows Me wholeheartedly…” — Numbers 14:24

The other side is on the horizon—the other side where there is healing, victory, and deliverance! Glory to God!

I want to walk with the same “different spirit” Caleb had. A spirit that says, “I still believe God!” A spirit that trusts when the waiting gets long, keeps following when the journey gets hard, and knows that somehow, some way, God is going to take care of me through it all.

Caleb waited 45 years to see God’s promise fulfilled. At 85 years old, he was still believing, still standing, and still ready to possess what God had promised him! Time had passed, but his faith had not!

That’s the kind of spirit I want—the kind that refuses to release the promises of God simply because I haven't seen them fulfilled yet.

The waiting doesn't cancel the promise. The wilderness doesn't change God's faithfulness. And the battle doesn't mean the victory isn't coming!

Like Caleb, may we follow God wholeheartedly, persevere in faith, and keep His promises at the forefront of our hearts.

The other side is on the horizon! Keep believing. Keep walking. Keep trusting. God is faithful! ♡

Your Purpose Is Still Calling!

“But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones…” — Jeremiah 20:9

GOD WON’T LET YOU QUIT! Called to Keep Going! Your Purpose Is Still Calling! 

Satan will use hurtful experiences you have endured in the past—or even circumstances you are walking through right now—to try to suppress who God has truly called you to be. The enemy knows that if he can kick you while you are down, discourage you long enough, and convince you that what you are doing doesn’t matter, you may lose the desire to shine for Christ and walk in your God-given calling and purpose.

But perhaps what you need in this hour is simply a fresh word from God reminding you to push through and DON’T QUIT!

I love Jeremiah 20:9 because we see a man of God who had grown weary. Jeremiah was sharing the message God had given him, yet it seemed as though no one was listening. He was doing exactly what God had called him to do, but he wasn’t seeing the results he expected. His words seemed to be falling on deaf ears, and the frustration became so great that Jeremiah reached a point where he didn’t want to speak anymore.

He was tired. He was discouraged. He had had enough. Yet something inside Jeremiah would not allow him to remain silent.

“But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones…”

God had placed a fire inside Jeremiah that he could not smother. Even when his emotions said, “I’m done,” the calling of God within him said, “Keep going!” Jeremiah was destined to fulfill his purpose. I am destined to fulfill my purpose. And you are destined to fulfill yours.

That doesn’t mean it will always be easy. It doesn’t mean there won’t be days when you are tired, discouraged, frustrated, hurt, or wondering whether what you are doing is making any difference. But at the very moment you feel like giving up, God can reignite the fire within you and give you the strength and desire to keep on keeping on.

Maybe this is your fresh word. Maybe this is God’s way of pushing you forward and reminding you: KEEP GOING!

He sees you when you are crying.

He sees you when you are hurting.

He sees you when you are frustrated.

He sees you when you are exhausted.

He sees you when you feel broken.

And God won’t let you quit!

Your calling is too important. Your purpose is too important. There are people God has assigned you to reach, encourage, minister to, and point toward Christ. There are people who need what God has placed inside of you. That is exactly why the enemy would love to see you give up. He doesn’t want you walking in your God-given purpose. He doesn’t want you encouraging others, ministering to others, leading people to Christ, or shining the light of Jesus.

But hear this today: YOU ARE NOT DONE!

God is not finished with you yet.

The enemy may have tried to discourage you, but God won’t let you quit. The enemy may have tried to silence you, but God won’t let you quit. The enemy may have tried to convince you that your labor is in vain, but God won’t let you quit.

There is still a fire burning inside of you. There is still purpose attached to your life. There is still work for you to do.

Philippians 1:6 reminds us to be confident that He who began a good work in us will continue that work until the day of Jesus Christ.

God started the work. God knows the purpose. God sees the finished product. God will be faithful to complete what He started.

So take another step. You may be weary, but you are still called. You may be wounded, but you are still anointed. You may not see the results yet, but God is still working.

DON’T QUIT!

There is still purpose in you.

There is still a calling upon you.

There is still a fire shut up in your bones.

And when you feel like you cannot take another step, remember: GOD WON’T LET YOU QUIT!

Keep on keeping on. God isn’t finished with you yet. Your purpose Is still calling.

Lord, Help Me See Through Spiritual Eyes!

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” ~ Proverbs 3:5–6

Sometimes what we see with our natural eyes can cause us to worry, question, and try to figure everything out on our own. But God never asked us to understand every situation, but He asked us to trust Him through it.

Lord, help me not to look at this situation through my own eyes, because then I will lean on my own understanding. Help me to see it through spiritual eyes... eyes of faith that acknowledge You, trust You, and confidently believe that You are working even when I cannot see how.

I may not understand the road in front of me, but I know the One who does. So today, I choose faith over what I see (or cannot see), trust over what I understand (or do not understan), and God’s direction over my own.

---------

Suggested Prayer:

"Lord, open my spiritual eyes and direct my path. I trust You! Lord, Help me NOT look at this situation with my own eyes for that means my own understanding... but help me to look at it through my SPIRITUAL EYES because I would be acknowledging You in confidence knowing You will direct my path God!!! Amen!"
