Faith Series – Episode 5 (Final): Stretch Marks of Grace
<p>Stretching hurts.&nbsp;</p><p>Not just in the body, but in the soul.&nbsp;</p><p>It pulls at our comfort zones.&nbsp;</p><p>It rewrites the story we were crafting on our own terms.&nbsp;</p><p>It takes us further than we think we can go, only to show that God has been there every step.</p><p>Sometimes, the stretch looks like constant worry:&nbsp; About this, about that, about everything all at once.</p><p>The heart becomes heavy. Joy gets dim. Peace feels like a luxury.</p><p>But then truth comes in, quietly and clearly.</p><p>Why worry? If God takes care of every sparrow, you can trust that He will care for you, too.</p><p>And just like that, something shifts.</p><p>Faith becomes a letting go. Not of responsibility, but of control.</p><p><br></p><p>We don’t walk away from the stretch untouched.</p><p>But we walk away marked by peace where fear once lived,</p><p>by calm where chaos used to thrive,</p><p>by a quiet confidence that God's got it, even when we don’t.</p><p><br></p><p>The beauty of it all?</p><p>God is most present in our most painful stretches.</p><p><br></p><p>Here’s to every stretch.</p><p>Here’s to every scar that now glows with grace.</p><p>Here’s to faith: raw, real,&nbsp; and refined.</p><p><br></p><p>We’ve come to the end of this mini-series, but not the end of God’s faithfulness. Keep stretching, He’s still holding you.</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/WhatsApp Image 2025-05-12 at 12.51.47_7149bb73.jpg" alt=""></p><p><br></p>
