Every sunrise is a reminder of His endless love and restoration. Nature heals our souls, inviting us to slow down, breathe deeply, and trust that every moment is touched by grace.

“So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed”. – John 8:36
When life feels overwhelming, step outside. Breathe deeply. Listen. Feel the embrace of His peace and the reassurance that you are never alone. His love is everywhere, surrounding you in the beauty of His creation. – denise marie
“So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed”. – John 8:36
In the stillness, He speaks. In the beauty, He reminds me that He is near. Every breath of fresh air is a reminder that His love renews, His peace sustains, and His grace is always enough. – denise marie
“He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul.” – Psalm 23:2-3
God’s love for a broken heart is deep, tender, and unwavering. Scripture tells us that He is especially close to those who are hurting:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
When our hearts are shattered by loss, disappointment, or pain, God’s love becomes a healing balm. He does not turn away from our sorrow but draws near, offering comfort, peace, and restoration.
In Isaiah 61:1, we see Jesus’ mission:
“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”
This means that no matter how deep our wounds are, His love can restore us. He does not waste our pain but uses it to draw us closer to Him, teaching us to trust in His goodness even in the midst of sorrow.
If your heart is broken, know that you are never alone. God sees you, loves you, and is working to heal and restore you in ways beyond what you can imagine.

“So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed”. – John 8:36
Several years ago, I attended a women’s retreat in South Lake Tahoe. Being one of only a couple black women there, I felt lonely in a room full of women who seemed to be connected.
Our human desire is to be “seen”, experience connection & to show up in our true authentic self.
As an empath & encourager, I intentionally try to “see” the gold in others, praying quietly asking God to help me “see” & love others as He see’s & loves me.
I hope you quietly whisper the same prayer. 🩷 – denise marie

He fully loves you, and fully knows you. There are no hidden agendas, no malice or wrong intent, only love. He cannot operate in any other way towards us, other than in love, because that is who he is. God is love. – 1 John 4:16

It took me a minute to settle down and calm my anxiety, but once I did my words flowed.
Writing and reading my poetry is good for my soul.

I am learning that it is ok to take a deep breath,
and then slowly exhale as I gently smile at the
woman that I’m looking at in the mirror.
I’m encouraging her with words of love,
self acceptance and much grace.
