Ask God to Fill You With His Love First

You can’t pour out what you haven’t received. Start each day by asking, “Lord, help me love like You do today.”

Choose Kindness When It’s Inconvenient

Love isn’t always comfortable. Practice love through forgiveness, patience, or generosity, even when it costs you something.

When Loving People Felt Draining

There were seasons when loving others felt more like a task than a joy. I’d show up, serve, and smile, but deep down, I was running on empty. I finally realized I was trying to love from my own strength. When I began receiving God’s love first, daily, intentionally, everything changed. Loving others became a response, not a chore. That realization led me to build Holy Focus to help others pause, refill, and reflect the love of Jesus more authentically.
