Letter 2 | Episode 3

Dear Strength in the Soil,

Welcome back to Abide. Today’s letter reminds us that true strength isn’t about control or perfection. It’s about connection. Ephesians 3:17 says, “Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.” Strength in the soil means drawing from His presence instead of our own striving. It’s trusting that the same power that raised Jesus now lives in you.

You don’t have to hold it all together. You just have to stay rooted. When you can’t fix it, He carries it. When you can’t see the way forward, His Spirit becomes the strength that holds you steady. Every storm that once shook you becomes the place your roots grow deeper.

So today, stop trying to be strong for God and start letting His strength flow through you.

With love,
Xio

Letter 2 | Episode 2

Dear Rooted In Love,

Welcome back to Abide. Today’s letter is a reminder that real growth happens beneath the surface. Ephesians 3:17 says, “that you, being rooted and grounded in love.” When Christ dwells in our hearts, His love becomes the soil that holds us steady. Roots don’t grow overnight. They grow quietly, deep in the dark, until they can hold the weight of what God is building above.

When you know you are loved, fear begins to lose its grip. Shame loses its voice. Striving turns into rest. You no longer work for love, you work from it. God’s love becomes the foundation that carries you through every season.

So breathe. Let His love take root today. Let it become the ground you stand on and the peace you live from. You are safe here. You are seen. You are loved.

With love,
Xio

Letter 2 | Episode 1

Dear Home in the Heart,

Welcome to Letter 2: Abide. Today’s verse is Ephesians 3:17, Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. This is more than poetry. It’s a promise. The God who made the stars wants to live inside of you. Not as a visitor but as family. He wants to dwell, to stay, to make your heart his home.

When you let him in, he doesn’t just sit quietly in the corner. He rearranges what’s been broken. He turns fear into peace, chaos into calm, and distance into closeness. He wants your heart to be the place where heaven rests.

Maybe you’ve kept certain rooms locked away, the hurt, the guilt, the doubt. But he’s gentle. He knocks. He waits. He restores. And when you finally open the door, you’ll realize home isn’t a place. It’s a person. And that person is Jesus.

With love,
Xio
