As May comes to a close, take a moment to pause and reflect on all you’ve discovered. What areas have been healed, restored, or renewed through your time with God? What chaos has been met with calm because you chose to root yourself in truth rather than fear?

Transformation doesn't always look like instant change—it often looks like small moments of obedience, stillness, and surrender. You have taken intentional steps toward deeper spiritual maturity. Carry this peace with you into the next season, knowing that God is not finished—He is still transforming you from the inside out.

Let the lessons of May be a foundation, and walk forward in confidence, grace, and trust.
