I am Eve. Not the Instagram-filtered version, not the sanitized Sunday‑school silhouette — the real one. The woman who has stood in a garden overflowing with goodness and still thought, “Hmm… but what about that one thing over there?” When the woman saw that the tree was good for food…

I got hit with it again—shame. That sneaky little creature that tiptoes in like it pays rent, then drags all its cousins with it, even though Psalm 34:5 says those who look to Him are radiant and “their faces are never covered with shame.” Still here we are. One minute…

Have you ever really stopped to think about grace? I got one of those mighty nudges about it this morning—the kind that won’t leave you alone. The kind that sits in your chest like a song someone sang in the morning meeting and now it’s stuck on repeat. Grace is…
