"My relationship with Jesus has gone through a process lately. I had to step back, pause, and think about the relationship I used to have with Him," shares SEELE contributor Thomasena Thomas. "This year alone, I have evolved in my relationship with Jesus and because of this, I had to reset it."

“Now seems like a pretty good time to have a wardrobe overhaul and get rid of certain items as well,” says SEELE contributor Shefali Karani. “Toss out or donate worn-out clothing, clothing that doesn’t make you feel good, and clothing that you’re super tired of wearing,” she says.

Some people focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. That’s why the ability to set clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. In relationships, boundaries define who we are and who we are not, which impacts every part of our lives physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.

"I’ve really been aware the past two weeks of how much salt and light matter to those around us," says SEELE editor Ally. "It often may feel and seem that those around us aren’t seeing our faith or getting enough of Jesus. But, they are, even though we may not realize it.

SEELE editor, Ally poses the question: “why Settle For A Good Man When You Can Have A Godly Man?” In this day and age when the world is becoming more challenging, we need men who are also half bearers of the image of God to know their identity in their Creator God, to be surrendered to God, to know what it means to walk with Holy Spirit, to be filled with Holy Spirit, and to rely our Triumphant God as he leads his household.

SEELE's newest contributor Oboitshepo Tladi shares that writing an article focused on men and their value was a challenge, but "one I accepted willingly but begrudgingly, only because I realised that this topic, although about men, seemingly placed a mirror in front of me as a woman. The topic made me more aware of myself as a woman and my true feelings towards men..."

For today's Friday Post, SEELE’s Editor Ally, shares when you know God and are walking with Him, Son and Holy Spirit you will know your identity and value in HIM. And because of that, you will position your life to be lived from a place of victory, only accepting the whole loaf, not crumbs because crumbs aren’t fulfilling- they don’t satisfy.

For today's Friday Post, SEELE’s Editor Ally, shares a challenging question: "Are you living from a place of purpose?"

Seele Contributor, Monica Tang shares one significant theme of this year’s Season of Creation celebrations is restoring our relationship with God and creation. “Genesis 3 foretells humanity’s broken relationship with nature, marked by hard labour and conflict. The characteristics of humanity’s fallen nature also include greed, exploitation, and domination, both in relation to other human beings and image bearers, but also creation,” says Monica.

This devotional is taken straight from Sarah Young’s ‘Jesus Calling’ on when you feel defenseless. Going to God directly should be our first line of defense and our answer when we feel weary.
