God placed this on my heart today, and I want to share it with you: it does not matter what you look like, where you come from, or what you’ve been through. If God has given you a word, that word carries power. Your appearance, your past, or even how “fitting” you think it is for the moment—none of that changes the truth of what God has spoken to you. We have to remember: we are not working for ourselves. We are working for Christ Jesus, the One who reigns in heaven. When He gives you a word, it is not meant to be hidden or doubted—it is meant to be shared. It’s not reserved for a select few, not for the “righteous,” not just for the educated or the elect. Jesus died for all of us.
That means His word, His love, and His salvation are for everyone. Even the sinner. Even the broken. Even the overlooked. That’s why it’s so important to stop focusing on outer appearances. A person’s outfit, their past, or even their current situation does not define where God can take them. The same one you dismiss today could be the same one God raises up tomorrow. People can change. Hearts can transform. And God looks at the heart—not the image we present to the world. Encourage people where they are, because none of us has the right to judge someone before their story is finished. Only God has that authority, and He makes it clear: every man and woman will be judged in the end. Why? Because He gives each of us the chance to finish the race before He renders His conclusion. Giving a critique is fine—but judging people solely based on where they are in the moment isn’t always good. God Himself tells us that correction is necessary, but it must be done in love. When we give correction, we should understand the difference: a critique is not condemnation. A critique says, “Right now, in this moment, I see something in you that needs to be aligned with God’s Word.” It’s about addressing a specific action or behavior in the present—not tearing down the person’s worth or future. And once we give that correction, we must follow it with encouragement. This is exactly what Jesus did. He never came to break people’s spirits—He came to save them. He understood that our flesh is temporary, but our spirit is eternal. That’s why He speaks in ways that reach the heart, lifting us up and pointing us toward the kingdom of heaven.
Encouragement is vital. Without it, why would anyone keep pressing forward? God wants us not just to walk, but to run toward His kingdom. And the way He draws people in is through truth, love, and encouragement—the very things that sustain us when the flesh wants to give up. So yes, correct one another, but do it in love. Critique the moment, not the whole person. And always remind them that God still sees their value, still has a plan, and still calls them higher. That’s how we build people up in Christ, instead of pushing them away. So if God has given you a word—speak it.
Don’t let doubt, fear, or how others see you hold you back. You have a word inside of you, and the world needs to hear it. Remember: God does not want anyone to perish, but for all to come into His kingdom. That includes you. That includes me. That includes everyone. 💜 Keep walking, keep trusting, and keep sharing the word He has placed in you. Remember, "People Deserve Chances Until The Race Is Over" — Ya Girl Renae
