 May 19 – Serendipitous Thoughts by Sugar Bear

“Today, I rested in the truth that I am not my own.”

“You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” —1 Corinthians 6:19–20

Personal Reflection:

As I’ve been sitting and reflecting during recovery, the most unexpected thing brought me back to God’s goodness—not a sermon, not a strategy, but a child’s drawing.

It came from young childrens of God at my church, little Lydia and her sister Evelyn, To SugarBear, " get well soon". In bright colors and crooked letters, she asked, “Where do kangaroos like to relax?” Her answer: “In hop tubs!” And there, alongside the laughter, were hand-drawn hearts and crosses. No theology degree. Just crayons dipped in grace.

That moment—simple as it was—helped me focus on what God can do. It reminded me that I’m not defined by pain or performance. I’m not measured by how much I do. I’ve been bought with a price. And that means I’m set apart—not because I’m special, but because He is.

And I thought of Mary, the young girl called to carry the Savior of the world. Faced with a task beyond understanding, she didn’t panic—she said, “From now on, all generations will call me blessed.” (Luke 1:48) That’s not pride. That’s identity. And it’s our declaration too. We who’ve been marked by God’s grace—carrying Christ in our hearts—can say it in faith: Call us blessed.

In a world that says you are what you achieve, God says you are Mine. That quiet truth hit louder than any applause ever could.

So today, I walk slowly but boldly. I’ve been crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20), and this life I now live—crayon-sketched and grace-covered—is His.

And Sugar Bear… when you start to forget, pull out Lydia’s drawing. It’s not about what you can do. It’s about who you belong to.

Call me blessed.

God bless you and this ministry!
