What is a CrutchVerse?
Following Jesus is not always a confident stride. Sometimes it is a limp. A CrutchVerse is one verse, one truth to lean on. Not a whole Bible study, not a performance plan. Just something solid to hold you up when you are tired, weak, or about to go backward.
A crutch is not there to make you look strong. It is there to keep you from falling when you aren't.

I Don’t Have Time
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
Lean On This: You don’t have time because time isn’t yours to own—it’s yours to enter. God already gave each moment a purpose. When you align with what this time is for, you stop forcing what doesn’t belong and start living with clarity.
