The Heart Never Forgets – But God Heals What We Carry

By Chauntelle A | 3 Minutes in Faith Some people will tell you that if you just give it enough time, the pain will go away. But what happens when it doesn’t? What do you do when your heart still flinches at the memory, still aches in the quiet, still wakes you up at night? The heart never forgets—not really. It remembers every "I’m fine" when you weren’t. It remembers the goodbye you never got. It remembers the moment everything changed. And yet, while your heart holds on to all of that… God holds on to you. Scripture says in Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” That means He doesn’t ignore your pain. He leans into it with you. God doesn’t expect you to forget what happened. But He does invite you to heal—and there is power in that difference. Healing doesn’t erase your story. It reclaims it. It says, “Yes, I was hurt. But I’m still here.” It says, “That moment shaped me, but it didn’t stop me.” It reminds you that y...

When the Need Changes: Recognizing God's Guidance in Life's Transitions

  When the Need Changes: Recognizing God's Guidance in Life's Transitions A companion piece to the 3 Minutes in Faith podcast episode The Freedom of Being Unanchored For as long as I can remember, I've lived by the belief that what you give off is what you attract. And throughout much of my life, I found myself drawing in a certain type of person—steady, rooted individuals who provided stability while I was in constant motion. I used to wonder why these grounded souls consistently appeared in my life. What was it about me that attracted people who seemed to have their feet so firmly planted? But as I've grown in my faith journey, God has revealed something profound: this pattern wasn't merely coincidence. It was divine provision for a specific season. God's Perfect Supply While I was busy exploring, chasing dreams, and pursuing my calling with energy and passion, God was quietly supplying what I needed—anchors.  He surrounded me with rooted people precisely beca...

When God Shows You What's Coming

Scripture: Habakkuk 2:2–3 (NIV) "Then the Lord replied: 'Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.'" Supporting Scripture: Joel 2:28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." Have you ever experienced a moment where you felt God revealing something about your future? Perhaps it was through a dream, a prophetic word, or a deep impression in your spirit. These moments are not mere coincidences; they are divine invitations to prepare for what lies ahead. In Habakkuk 2:2–3, God instructs the prophet to write down the vision and make it plain. This act of recording the revelation serves as a tangible reminder of God's promises, espe...

So Amazing to Be Loved — Nothing Can Separate You from God's Love

From the moment we take our first breath, we begin searching for love. A newborn cries for a parent's touch. A child beams at praise. Teenagers reinvent themselves for acceptance. Adults chase love through relationships, careers, and achievements. This longing is universal—woven into our very humanity. But human love often disappoints. It comes with conditions. It wounds. It abandons. And when it does, it leaves scars that run deep. That's what makes God's love so revolutionary. In Romans 8:38–39 (NIV), Paul writes with conviction: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers... will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Let that sink in. Nothing—not your past, your failures, your doubts, your pain, or even death itself—can separate you from God's perfect love. This isn't love that retreats when you stumble. It doesn't diminish whe...

The Courage to Begin Again: Embracing New Chapters at Any Age

There's something about milestone birthdays that causes us to pause and take inventory. As I recently crossed the threshold of a significant age—one of those big, round numbers that society tends to mark with both celebration and quiet contemplation—I found myself making a decision that surprised even me: I chose to begin again. When Certainty Makes Way for Possibility Beginning again isn't always planned. Sometimes it arrives after loss or disappointment. Other times, it emerges from a growing realization that the life you've built, while perhaps comfortable or expected, isn't the one your soul longs for. For me, it was the latter. Despite achievements and stability in certain areas, I recognized a quiet but persistent voice within me saying, "There's more. This isn't all." Not more stuff, not more accolades—but more alignment with who I truly am and what brings me genuine peace. So I made the decision to start clean in multiple areas of my life. New ...
