(John 14:23) Jesus said, 'If anyone loves me, they will obey my teaching… we will come to them and make our home with them”

Part 3: WE MAY LET GO... BUT GOD NEVER WILL — 10. Pride (insecurity, success/achievement that becomes idolised, or habitually avoiding vulnerability)

Relationship—relationship—RELATIONSHIP.

Our daily walk with Jesus isn’t about ritual, sacrifice, or trying to bargain God into action. It begins when we’re done pretending we can be our own gods—tired of deciding our own fate.

Change starts with an act of the will: we finally acknowledge our situation, the pride crumbles, and we cry out, “I can’t do this anymore, Lord. I need You.” That honest surrender is like smoke rising from wreckage, a visible sign that a heart is breaking open.

By repeatedly inviting God into your life and giving Him your broken, defeated self, you begin a cycle of healing and transformation. Some things will be restored; some things will be let go. All of it, ultimately, is for your good.

It starts with one choice: accept His invitation into a relationship.

Real change isn’t rituals or bargaining—it’s the moment pride crumbles, and you admit, “I can’t do this anymore, Lord.”

Keep inviting God in. He heals, restores, and remakes what’s left when you choose relationship.

Let's pray. "Heavenly Father, how easily I forget ... and how easily You pick up the broken promises and put me back together. Thank You." Amen!

KARP (VOL I)

ADVENTURES & ANGELS

My book has finally been published …

Other than the Prologue — intentionally stopped at the moment of God’s supernatural intervention — the rest of the book is meant to introduce Karp and the people who orbit him. The scenes that follow are drawn from my life, from testimonies I’ve read and heard, and from moments that have pierced my heart so deeply I felt compelled to tell them again. There’s a truth I keep returning to, one philosophers have voiced for centuries: those who won’t learn from history risk repeating its worst chapters.

As each character opens up, we begin to see how alike we really are. The same fierce passions that drove people in the first century — greed, pride, fear, doubt, even self‑hatred — still live inside us in the twenty‑first. Yet even through that hard, unflinching lens of reality, the light of God shines: faithful, renewing, and tender to the children trapped in their private struggles.

In the opening chapters we watch Karp’s world collapse when cholera steals his family. In the aftermath, broken and vulnerable, he is kidnapped, abused, and sold into slavery. God’s protection, however, takes surprising shape: the care of a lonely, grieving spinster who becomes his mother and his refuge. That woman — a seventy‑year‑old, depressed, companionless Mary Magdalene — brings a quiet, fierce kindness that changes him.

You’ll also meet others who already occupy footnotes in Christian lore and world mythology. I’ve tried to bring them back to life on the page, not as untouchable legends but as people whose choices will challenge us. Karp helps a king rescue a kidnapped princess, works covertly with occupying Roman forces to protect islanders from marauding pirates, and faces the dark powers at the temple of Artemis in Ephesus. Through every danger and decision, he pushes us to choose the higher paths of hope and faith.
