Close the Books: Living the Love That Keeps No Record

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 11:29:26 +0000

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:4–7) Some of us are carrying ledgers we were never meant to keep. We remember the exact words spoken in anger, the date the promise was broken, the moment we were overlooked. We file every offense away, ready to pull Read More

Proximity Is Not Purpose: Lessons from the Last Supper

At the Last Supper, Jesus said something that still unsettled me: “It is the one to whom I am going to give this piece [of bread] after I have dipped it.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread [into the dish], He gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.” (John 13:26). Think about that. Jesus — the Bread of Life Himself — dipped bread with the very man who would betray Him within hours. Proximity to Jesus did not change Judas’s heart. Access to the anointing is not the same as agreement with the assignment. That’s the Read More

Who Are You?: Knowing and Understanding Your Identity

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 11:51:18 +0000

Have you ever stopped to ask why you love what you love? Why certain people draw near to your spirit while others never quite fit? Why your mind moves toward the things it moves toward? These are not random details of your personality. They are threads God wove into you before you ever drew breath. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument], And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own]; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5) God did Read More

Rename Your Season

“Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].” — Hebrews 11:1 People, it’s time to start renaming your seasons. I heard the Lord say: “Just because you do not see it in the natural, does not mean I have not already provided it. Just because you see emptiness, does not mean I have not already filled those empty places. I can supernaturally fill any space as easily as I can provide Read More

Zealous Pursuit or Passive Waiting?

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:10:14 +0000

There’s a difference between waiting on God and hiding behind waiting on God. One is faith. The other is fear dressed up in spiritual language. We need to examine our posture before God. Scripture never presents faith as passive. James reminds us, “faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead” (James 2:17). Yet many believers confuse stillness with surrender. They tell themselves they’re “waiting on God” when in reality, they’re avoiding obedience that feels costly, uncertain, or uncomfortable. There’s a posture of open hands and a closed heart; thus, appearing receptive while remaining unmoved. And then there’s Read More

The Posture of Faith

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:21:23 +0000

There are seasons in life when the weight of our trials feels unbearable. We pray, believe, and trust God, yet circumstances seem to move in the opposite direction of our expectations. Doors close, relationships struggle, finances tighten, and health challenges arise. In those moments, it is easy to interpret our pain as defeat. But as believers, we must remember that God’s perspective is different from ours. The Apostle Paul understood suffering better than most. He endured imprisonment, persecution, shipwrecks, beatings, and countless hardships. Yet he never allowed temporary trials to define his future. Instead, he fixed his eyes on God’s Read More
