The shift was necessary

There are moments in life when everything changes without warning. A door closes, a connection dissolves, a dream suddenly feels out of reach. It is in those moments, raw, disorienting, and painful, that we often ask, “Why?”

But I have learned that when God moves you out of a space, away from certain people, or through an unexpected detour, it is never without purpose. Even if it does not make sense at the time.

Looking back, I now see how every shift was necessary. The closed doors were not rejections, they were protection. The loneliness was not abandonment, it was space being made for clarity. The pause was not a setback, it was preparation.

In those quiet, uncomfortable seasons, God was working behind the scenes. Not punishing me, but positioning me.

He was guiding me into something better. Something purer. Something more aligned with who I truly am. And it was only by stepping away from what no longer served me that I could begin to hear myself clearly again. To rest. To breathe. To become.

If you are in that space now, grieving what is gone, questioning what is next, know this: You are not being left behind. You are being led forward. Trust that what feels like a break might just be a breakthrough.

Do not look back at what God has delivered you from. That chapter served its purpose. But it is not your whole story.

You are being prepared for something greater. And when the fruit of your obedience begins to bloom, you will understand why the shift had to happen. Why the space had to be made. Why the people could not come with you. Why the version of you who stayed small could not enter this next season.

Keep walking in trust.

The shift was necessary.

With Love,

Duality vs Oneness

In many mystical traditions, God is seen as the One Source of all that exists. From this perspective, nothing stands outside the Divine, not even the shadows we fear. Both light and dark, joy and pain, are contained within the infinite mystery of God. Yet in faith traditions like Christianity and Islam, the devil is understood differently, not as God, but as a creation of God. The devil becomes the symbol of separation , the willful turning away from unity, love, and truth. Where God is perfection and pure goodness, evil arises not from the Source but from distorted will, pride, and rebellion against divine alignment. Beyond the Image of Horns and Fire, The devil is not a creature with horns, a fiery tail, and glowing yellow eyes. It is not merely an external monster lurking in shadows. Instead, it represents the energy of separation, the distortion of truth, the rejection of compassion , the misuse of divine gifts . The devil is rebellion against unity, whether it shows up in i...

Divine is Beyond Labels

Theres so much beauty in the universe. I honor the presence of God in everyone. The diversity of this world doesn’t confuse me, it makes me fall deeper in love with God and with humanity. Our differences are not barriers. They are beautiful. They are the artistry of a Divine Creator. The essence of God is not confined to one name, one tribe, one religion. Race, nationality, belief systems, these are human constructs, not divine limitations. God is Spirit. Boundless. Pure. Far beyond every box we try to fit the Divine into. We are born open, whole, deeply connected. It’s fear, ego, and conditioning that teach us to separate and compare. To believe one soul is superior to another based on tribe or religion is not only untrue, it’s a distortion of truth. A distortion of the Divine. If God wanted one tribe, one race, one religion… Wouldn’t that have been easy? But diversity is the design. Each of us, different yet divine. Every ...

You Are Light: The Divine Energy Within You

For centuries, we’ve been conditioned to see God as something external, an all-powerful being separate from us, watching over the world from a distance. But what if that’s not the full picture? What if God isn’t “out there” but within us, woven into the very fabric of our being? The truth is, God is light . And that same light resides within you. The Science of Light and the Divine This isn’t just a spiritual concept,it’s a scientific fact. Light is the foundation of all existence. Everything in the universe, including you, is made up of energy , and at the core of this energy is light. From the cells in your body to the vast galaxies in space , everything is illuminated by this fundamental force. Modern science tells us that light is essential to life. The Sun provides the energy that sustains the Earth, plants convert sunlight into food through photosynthesis, and even human cells emit biophotons tiny flashes of light that regulate our biological functions. If we take this a step f...
