The Gold I Refused to Touch – Faith Stretches – Episode 1
<p>There are days I find myself at my lowest financially, close to breaking point. (Savings aside.💁‍♀️) I know I could easily reach out to my family, and the challenge would be sorted just like that. </p><p>But I hold back. </p><p>Some might call it pride. Others might say it's foolishness. </p><p>But for me, it was something else: a stretch. </p><p>A personal decision to lean fully on God, to trust Him completely, not half-heartedly. Not as a backup plan. </p><p>Trust me, it was hard. Hurtful, even. </p><p>Imagine knowing where gold is buried: right there, within reach, but choosing to walk away, just to see what faith could really look like. </p><p>That’s a different kind of strength. Or maybe, a different kind of surrender. </p><p>Still, I did it. </p><p>And every single time, God came through. Over and over again. </p><p>The Bible says He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies in beauty. </p><p>How much more us? </p><p>We who are fearfully and wonderfully made in His own image. </p><p>God is not just aware of our needs. He is intentional about meeting them. Always. </p><p>Even when we don’t feel Him, even when we think He’s slow to show up, He’s working. </p><p>His mercies? They’re new every single morning. </p><p>His love? Beyond comprehension. </p><p>His arms? Always open. </p><p>If you’re exhausted from doing it all, stop trying to hold it together. Let Him hold you instead. Come closer. </p><p>He will give you rest. </p><p>Shalom. </p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/pexels-jennifer-mellies-ferreira-1293042353-25193764.jpg" alt=""></p><p> </p>
