Architect

TRUTH

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Hebrews 11:3

REFLECTION

My old life was built on sand.

It looked good on the surface, but it was always unstable. It crumbled at the slightest pressure. My decisions were selfish. My desires were empty.

I was shifting in the quicksand of my unrooted decisions.

Now, I understand that true foundations are built in the unseen. They're built on faith.

The framework of my new life is rooted in something beyond the visible world. The true architect is unseen. But the plans are solid.

This takes time. It takes effort. It requires constant attention. It’s not something I can rush or fake.

It demands that I be active in the process. It requires honesty and accountability. I must commit daily to building a life that is real and true.

My old tendencies try to tear down what I'm building. They want to convince me that the foundation is weak. But my strength is not the world.

I choose to continue building. One stone at a time. One day at a time. Trusting the unseen Architect.

God, help me build a life that lasts.
