🌸 Agape Love Blog – July 11, 2025 🌸

Held by Grace, Walking in Purpose

Good morning, beloved!

Here we are, embracing another summer morning wrapped in mercy and possibility. July 11th isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s another divine opportunity to reflect God’s love in a world that desperately needs it.

Whether you're sipping coffee on the porch, driving to work, or helping little ones get settled for the day, may this blog be a reminder that God is with you in every detail.

✝️ Verse of the Day

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.”— Psalm 84:11 (KJV)

What a promise! The Lord is both light for your path and protection from harm. He is not a distant observer but a loving Father who delights in blessing His children with good things—especially when we walk humbly with Him. Keep walking, friend. Your steps are seen and guided by His grace.

📜 On This Day in History – July 11
