Marilyn Prado (marylinprado)

I am a beloved child of God, created in His image and called according to His purpose. Formed by His hands and known before time began, I was made not merely to exist, but to live in deep relationship with Him—rooted in grace, guided by truth, and empowered by love.

Through Jesus Christ, I have been redeemed, restored, and set free. My identity is no longer shaped by the world or my past, but by the One who gave me new life. I am a temple of the Holy Spirit, a vessel of light, and a witness to His faithfulness.

God has uniquely gifted me to reflect His heart on earth—to walk in humility, speak with boldness, and serve with compassion. My life is a journey of becoming more like Christ each day, shaped by His Word, led by His Spirit, and fueled by His mercy.

In every season, I carry the truth that I am seen, chosen, and loved. I live not for my own glory, but for His. This is who I am: a child of the King, called to be a light in the darkness, a peacemaker in the storm, and a voice of hope in a broken world.

  12 Days of Gratitude

  When starting a new plan, we often wait to start by rationalizing our own denial. "I'll start on the first... the first lands on a Sunday... I'll start on Monday... Monday doesn't work... I'll start next month... I'm not ready this time... I'll start next time..."
