GraceNotes - My Reflections
Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
This verse is for me - for anyone who feels weighed down by perfectionism, guilt, or the constant need to prove themselves. Paul reminds us that Christ didn’t die for us to live chained to legalism or the expectations of others. Freedom in Christ means we are no longer slaves to sin or shame—we are free to live boldly and joyfully in His grace.
But let’s be real: freedom requires a fight. The world will always try to pull us back into old patterns, whether it’s people-pleasing, self-doubt, or chasing things that don’t satisfy. Paul’s charge to “stand firm” is a call to plant ourselves in God’s truth, remembering that our worth is in Him alone.
Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Have you ever prayed for something and then God answered in a way that completely blew your mind? That’s the essence of Ephesians 3:20. God’s power isn’t just sufficient—it’s abundant. He doesn’t just meet our needs; He exceeds them in ways we could never predict.
But here’s the catch: this verse isn’t about getting everything we want. It’s about trusting God’s ability to work in and through us, even when we can’t see the full picture. His “immeasurably more” often looks like unexpected growth, deeper peace, or new opportunities we didn’t know we needed.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible, but let’s not mistake it for a hype-up line before a big moment. Paul wrote this while sitting in a prison cell, not on a victory stage. His “all things” wasn’t about personal glory—it was about enduring hardships and staying faithful in every circumstance.
Christ’s strength doesn’t always look like a dramatic rescue or an instant win. Sometimes, it’s the quiet perseverance to keep going, the courage to trust Him in uncertainty, or the grace to love others when it’s hard. Whatever you’re facing, this verse reminds us that we’re not doing it alone—Christ is our strength.
