Glenda Inspires – Uplifting Words for a Purposeful Life

Your Delay Is Not Denial Trusting God in the Waiting Season 📖 Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) – “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Have you ever felt like God was taking too long? You pray. You believe. You wait. And still… it feels like nothing is moving. It’s easy to get discouraged in seasons of delay — especially when others around you seem to be walking into their breakthroughs while you’re stuck wondering “When is it my turn?”  But the Word of God in Habakkuk 2:3 brings comfort and clarity: For the vision is yet for an appointed time... That means: God hasn’t forgotten. The promise, the vision, the direction — whatever He placed in your heart — is still alive. But it’s attached to a divine appointment. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t. 💭 What Is the “Vision”? In Habakkuk’s time, the vision referred to a revelation from Go...

  When You Feel Forgotten by God: A Message from Isaiah 49 Have you ever felt like your prayers went unanswered… your tears unnoticed… like God forgot your name? If so, you're not alone. In Isaiah 49, God's people cried out, "The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me." They felt abandoned. Overlooked. Left behind. But listen to God’s response: Can a woman forget her nursing child...? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee." "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." That’s not the voice of an angry God. That’s the voice of a loving Father. Even when we can’t feel Him — He’s near. Even when nothing seems to be changing — He’s working. Sometimes, silence feels like absence. But with God, silence is never the end of the story. If you’ve been waiting… if you feel like you’re fading into the background… take heart.  You are remembered. You are engraved. You are deeply loved. Let Isaiah 49 remind you that your waiting is...

He Brought Me Up: Finding Motivation When Life Feels Stuck Have you ever felt like life is just not moving forward? Like every time you try to climb out of a dark place, something pulls you back in?  Maybe you're feeling like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. You’re not alone. And more importantly,  you’re not forgotten. Psalm 40 is a chapter that speaks to those exact moments. It begins with these words: “ I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.” David, the writer, was no stranger to hardship. He talks about being in a horrible pit and miry clay — a symbol of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or spiritually low. But what happened next?  “He brought me up... and set my feet upon a rock.” God is still lifting people today. He is still hearing our cries. Even when it feels like nothing is changing, God is preparing your breakthrough behind the scenes. Maybe you feel alone, tired, or unsure of what’s next. But friend, I w...

  Walking in obedience: The Power of Deuteronomy 28 Deuteronomy 28 is one of the most powerful and sobering chapters in the Bible. Spoken by Moses to the people of Israel, this chapter lays out the terms of God's covenant with His people — blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience . The first 14 verses are filled with promises of abundance, protection, promotion, and favor. God promises to bless every area of life — from the city to the field, from our children to our work, from our coming in to our going out. The condition? Obedience. God’s blessings flow when we walk according to His Word. But starting in verse 15, the tone changes. God warns His people that if they do not listen, and if they turn away from His commandments, a long list of hardships will follow. These curses include defeat, confusion, loss, sickness, and oppression. The warnings are detailed and heavy, not to scare us — but to turn our hearts back toward God. Deuteronomy 28 is not just ancient histor...

  You’re Not Alone in This When life gets heavy — and it does — we sometimes forget that we’re not meant to carry everything on our own. The weight of worry, uncertainty, or exhaustion may press down on your heart, but God is not asking you to be strong all by yourself. In fact, His strength shines brightest when we admit our weakness and lean into Him. Take a deep breath. Inhale peace, exhale fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.  - 1 Timothy 1:7. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a step of faith. And you are never taking that step alone. God walks beside you — whispering courage, wrapping you in grace, and holding your heart steady. So tonight, rest in that promise. Tomorrow, rise with new strength. You’re not forgotten. You’re not forsaken. You’re not alone. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness — 2 Corinthians 12:9  Listen to the podcast episode: Life ...

  You Are Here on Assignment You don’t need everyone to believe in you — just God. And guess what? He already does. It’s easy to feel discouraged when others don’t support your dreams. Maybe they don’t see what you see. Maybe they question your timing, your direction, or even your calling. But the good news is: God doesn’t need a group vote to approve your assignment. If He called you, that’s all the confirmation you need. In Galatians 1:10 , the Apostle Paul writes: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? … If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Paul knew that purpose often puts you at odds with public opinion — and that’s okay. Obedience to God will sometimes look like disobedience to the crowd. You’re not here by accident. That thing you made it through — the pain, the delay, the heartbreak — it didn’t break you because it wasn’t meant to. It shaped you. It taught you. It formed you. It prepared you for...

  ✨ What Waiting Has Taught Me  Have you ever felt stuck in a season where nothing seemed to be moving? Where you were praying, hoping, waiting — and still… nothing? I have been there too. And what I’ve come to learn is this:  💛 Sometimes, God hides the blessing in the waiting. It doesn’t always feel like a gift. Sometimes the waiting feels like punishment. But in truth, it’s preparation. It’s not wasted. It’s not pointless. And you, my friend, are not forgotten. 💛 The Hidden Work of God During one of the hardest seasons of my life, I cried out to God daily. I couldn’t understand why doors weren’t opening. But slowly, I began to see something deeper: God wasn’t withholding joy from me — He was forming something within me.  Patience. Strength. Trust. A deeper knowing of who I am in Him.  You’re not forgotten. You’re being formed. Those words became an anchor for me. And over time, I started to believe that joy wasn’t just something waiting at the end of m...

  For a long time, I thought joy would come after the waiting season — after all the promises and new relationships. But life has a way of teaching us lessons in unexpected places. Singleness, for me, became one of those places. In this blog, I want to share a few things that singleness taught me — not about loneliness or waiting, but about joy. Deep joy. God-given, soul-stabilizing joy.   🕊️ 1. Joy Isn’t About Your Status — It’s About Your Source The world often equates happiness with having someone by your side. But, joy doesn’t come from being coupled up. It comes from being centered . In this season of singleness, I’ve found joy by drawing close to God and letting Him fill the spaces I once thought I needed to be filled by someone else. Joy shows up when you stop chasing validation and start embracing your divine identity . 💛 2. Singleness Gave Me a Space to Discover Myself I didn’t realize how much of myself I hadn’t fully met. Singleness gave me space to breathe,...

  The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...

  America, Wake Up: Preparing for an Uncertain Future Major changes are happening in America, and if you haven’t been paying attention, now is the time to wake up. With the new administration in power, significant cuts are being made to essential programs such as food stamps, housing assistance, and medical aid. Millions of Americans who have relied on these services may soon find themselves without support, leaving many struggling to survive. The question is: are you ready for what’s coming? The System is Changing—Are You? For decades, many have depended on government assistance to make ends meet. However, as policies shift, these safety nets are shrinking. Qualifying for housing is becoming increasingly difficult, with landlords demanding high credit scores and income three times the rent. Healthcare costs continue to rise, and food assistance programs are being scaled back. The message is clear: relying on the system is no longer a safe bet. It’s time to take control of your fut...

  Dead to Sin and Alive to God: Understanding Romans 6:11 Romans 6:11 states, "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." This verse is a profound declaration of the believer’s identity in Christ. It emphasizes the transformation that occurs when we accept Jesus as our Savior—leaving behind the bondage of sin and stepping into a new life in Him. But what does this truly mean, and how can we apply it to our daily lives? 1. Reckoning Ourselves Dead to Sin The word "reckon" in this verse means to consider, count, or regard as true. Paul instructs believers to see themselves as completely separated from sin. This does not mean that we will never struggle with temptation, but sin no longer has dominion over us (Romans 6:14). Through Christ’s death, the power of sin was broken, and we are called to live in that victory. When we understand this truth, we stop seeing sin as an inevitable part of our live...
