devotions - faith for every season

Let's talk about green flags in friendships. Because while the internet loves talking about red flags, sometimes the real blessing is recognizing the women in your life who are walking green flags. You know the ones. The girls who hype you up like you're the main character. The girls who clap when you win. The grils who cry when you don't The woman who says things like... "girl, that opportunity has your name written all over it." Or "you deserve this" and "I'm proud of you."

Guess what, God is not in heaven like "hmm... let's see if she triple-texts me." He's not waiting to see if you pray hard enough, cry long enough, spiral deep enough, or even go to church enough before He answers. He is not emotionally unavailable. He is not sending mixed signals. He is not leaving you on “read." God is not playing hard to get. You don’t have to chase what is already chasing you. And can we talk about dating for a second?
