Dr. Pamela’s Personal Encouragement and Update:
My upcoming mentorship book, Because Somebody Walked With Me, will be released soon, and I am so excited to share it with you. This book is a collaboration of authors I have had the honor to mentor, serve with, and walk alongside.
Their God-sized success stories are shining examples of why having a mentor matters. I have also included my own teaching chapters in the book, and I believe this project will encourage, equip, and strengthen many lives. Stay Tuned.
Be encouraged this week: your yes, your story, and your life carry purpose.
BLOG: Faith Works by LOVE
Faith is powerful, but faith was never designed to operate apart from love.
Galatians 5:6 says, “For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.”
That phrase is so important: faith works by love. Love is not separate from faith. Love is the environment where faith is strengthened, expressed, and released. Faith is not meant to be harsh, prideful, impatient, or self-centered. Faith carries the heart of God, and God is love.
Sometimes we think of faith only in terms of what we believe for, what we stand on, or what we speak over our lives. All of those things matter, but the Word shows us that faith is not just about believing God for something. Faith is also about becoming more like Him as we believe.
Faith believes God. Love represents God.
When faith works through love, our confidence in God begins to shape how we treat people. We are not just declaring promises; we are becoming living examples of His goodness. We are not just believing for breakthrough; we are choosing to walk in patience, kindness, forgiveness, humility, and honor as we wait, grow, build, and obey.
That is where faith matures.
First Corinthians 13 reminds us that love is patient and kind. Love does not envy. Love is not proud. Love does not insist on its own way. Love believes, hopes, and endures. This means love is not weak. Love is strong. Love is steady. Love keeps our faith anchored in Christ's character.
Sometimes the greatest step of faith is not launching something new or believing for something big. Sometimes the greatest step of faith is choosing to forgive. Sometimes it is choosing to stay tender. Sometimes it is choosing to bless when we could be bitter. Sometimes it is choosing to serve when no one sees. Sometimes it is choosing to believe the best while God is still working on the rest.
Faith that works by love does not mean we ignore wisdom, boundaries, or truth. Love is not the absence of discernment. Love is the presence of God’s nature in the way we respond, speak, lead, and live.
Every believer has been given a measure of faith, but that faith must be developed. One of the ways our faith grows is through love. When we choose love, we are choosing to agree with God’s way over our own feelings. We are choosing His nature over our reaction. We are choosing His Word over offense, fear, comparison, or disappointment.
That choice matters.
This week, I want to encourage you to let your faith be strengthened by love. Believe boldly, but love deeply. Stand firmly, but walk humbly. Speak the Word, but carry the Father's heart. Trust God for the promise, but allow Him to shape your heart in the process.
Faith is not only seen in what we are believing for. Faith is also seen in how we love while we are believing.
As you walk by faith and allow love to lead, you will become a vessel through which others can experience the goodness, kindness, and faithfulness of God.
