 Heartbeats from Agape Love – June 9th, 2025

A daily moment to reflect, remember, and rejoice.

 Faith Focus: Carried by Grace

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

—Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)

Whatever you're facing today, you’re not facing it alone. God’s promises are not empty—they’re eternal. He holds you up with His righteous right hand. Rest in His strength.

 Heritage & Heart

From poets like St. Ephrem to bold racehorses and animated ducks, our past is filled with passion, performance, and purpose. Today, we remember that all gifts come from God—and whether we write, run, cook, or encourage—we do it all for His glory.

 Today’s Heartbeat Challenge:

Write a note of encouragement or prayer to someone who uses their gifts behind the scenes. Let them know you see their heart—and so does God.
