Be careful how you treat people — God sees the heart behind every action. I spent so many years trying to control outcomes… Manipulating situations to serve my advantage… Chasing selfish desires while pretending to be selfless. But deep down? My motives weren’t pure, and my spirit wasn’t surrendered. And because I refused to learn the lesson— I had to relive the season. Again. And again. Until I finally humbled myself, laid my pride down, and let God do the heart work in me. You can’t plant chaos and expect peace. You can’t sow pride and reap purpose. I had to die to my flesh, silence my ego, and stop playing God in my own life. “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” – Galatians 6:7 “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” – Matthew 23:12 Now I move different—because I know better. And I thank God for the grace that carried me while I was still getting in my own way. That’s real love. That’s redemption. That’s the power of a surrendered life. God, purify our hearts and make our motives match Your will. 🙏🏻❤️💯
