This New Year my resolution is not a diet or workout plan, it is love. In a world that profits from division, God calls us to pursue peace (Hebrews 12:14, NKJV) and keep the unity of the Spirit. A divisive heart keeps the body in fight or flight, stress rises, sleep gets lighter, digestion slows, anxiety grows. Love builds what outrage breaks.

Our great grandparents did not stand in an aisle trying to decode “heart healthy,” “gluten free,” and “keto friendly” all at once. They ate food, usually grown, raised, or baked by someone they knew. Today, most of what fills the average cart is not food in the old sense of the word. It is a recipe of industrial ingredients, chemical additives, and marketing buzzwords, carefully designed to look like food and to make you feel good about buying it.
