C H O F Ministry: “Where Scripture Meets Innovation” 🙌🏿

Greetings, valiant warriors of faith! May today’s reflection guide you to peaceful boundaries anchored in grace. ✨

“Healthy distance isn’t desertion—it’s stewardship of the soul.”
– Bishop W. F. Houston Jr. Theological Educator & Spiritual Inspirationalist ✝️

🔑 Divine Revelation (KJV) 📖
“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” – Romans 12:18

💡 Our Philosophical Term For Today: Ataraxia (ἀταραξία) — Greek 🏛️
Meaning: A state of undisturbed serenity. Spiritually, ataraxia reminds us that God sometimes leads us to quiet spaces where our peace can flourish free from turmoil.

🤔 While scrolling through Facebook, I read a young sister’s candid confession: “I’m the relative who’s okay stepping back from the family drama.” Her words echoed seasons in my own life when gatherings became courtrooms, and my convictions felt contagious. I learned that taking a respectful step away wasn’t rejection—it was preservation of the purpose God planted within me.

🌈 Beloved, if you, too, feel labeled the “distant one,” remember that Jesus Himself withdrew to solitary places—not from hatred, but to keep His mission clear. Boundaries birthed in love protect without poisoning. Carry no hostility; simply guard the treasure of peace entrusted to you. Let God surround you with covenant kin—friends, mentors, and a faith family who recognize your worth. Flourish in sanctified space, releasing every need for earthly validation.

Let Us Go Into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy

Heavenly Father 👑, we lay down the sting of rejection and lift up hearts longing for ataraxia. Teach us to set boundaries bathed in love, to silence hostility without silencing compassion, and to flourish in the fellowship You provide. Knit us into communities that honor Your peace. In Jesus’ mighty name, To God be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Walk boldly in sanctified serenity, I’m Bishop W. F. Houston Jr., Theological Educator & Spiritual Inspirationalist—reminding you that distance can be holy ground when paved with forgiveness!
