Through Scripture, story, and gentle guidance, Stasi shares how we reflect Jesus not by striving, but by receiving his love, blessing our lives, and living surrendered. Dear one, you matter, and your life reveals the heart of God.

Poem – Indwelt by A.S. Wilson:

Not merely in the words you say,

Not only in your deeds confessed,

But in the most unconscious way

Is Christ expressed.

Is it a beatific smile,

A holy light upon your brow;

Oh no, I felt His Presence while

You laughed just now.

For me ‘twas not the truth you taught

To you so clear, to me still dim
