Knowing Him Daily

23May.2026

You have been praying. You have been faithful. You have shown up when it cost you something, loved when it was not returned, and held the line when everything in you wanted to walk away. And still, nothing has changed yet.

That word yet is very telling though not obvious.

There is a particular kind of faith that does not get enough credit. It is not the faith of the mountaintop moment or the sudden breakthrough. It is the faith of the long middle, the unchanged circumstance, the person who is still the same today as they were last year. It is the faith that keeps showing up anyway.

Some of the people God has placed in your life come from places that most people cannot fathom. Broken homes, addiction, abuse, abandonment. Conditions that leave marks so deep that warmth feels dangerous to them. They will be kind one minute and cold the next. They will test every boundary on some level when you hold fast to them. They will push back on your love because love has never been safe for them. And you will wonder, is any of this working? Is it ever going to change?

Just. Keep. Going.

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9). Due season is not yourseason. It is His. Your job is not to produce the harvest. Your job is to keep planting and to refuse to grow weary while you do it.

The discipline of remaining when nothing has changed yet requires something most people are not willing to do, it requires you to separate your faithfulness from your results. You are not faithful because it is working. You are faithful because He is worthy. That is a completely different foundation and it will hold when the other one would have collapsed long ago.

And then one day you look up. And it has changed. Not all at once, not dramatically, but it has changed. The hard shell has softened. The wall has a door in it now. The person who once had nothing but contempt for your kindness is sitting across a table from you with different eyes. And everything you poured out in the long middle, every prayer, every act of tough love, every boundary held with grace, every moment you chose to stay when leaving would have been easier, all of it was working. You just could not see it yet.

Do not despise the yet. It is not a denial. It is a delay with a purpose.

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). He finishes what He starts. In them. In you. In every situation you have almost given up on.

Nothing has changed yet. But yet is not the end of the sentence.

If you’ve never surrendered to Jesus or have strayed, it’s not too late. He’s waiting to restore and renew you. Return to Him today and say this out loud:

Dear Heavenly Father ~

Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the Cross just for me. I admit that I have sinned, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me. I believe that He died and rose again. Right now, I make Him the Lord of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. My sins are washed away, my past is forgiven, and my future is bright. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ Name,

Amen.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
