Welcome to Mella Davis, Writes!
I want to invite you on a journey with me. I desire to speak fearlessly for my heavenly King and pen messages of victory, truth, and healing in each sentence. May you find every poem, devotional, or story a God-glorifying canvass. May each message contain revelation, wisdom, and intimacy with the persons of the holy Trinity.
I am honored that you are joining me on this adventure as I pen words that seek to fearlessly make known the mystery of God’s redemptive purpose in our human stories within HIStory.
About Mella
In high school, I felt truly gifted to do one small thing: write. Recently, God has sparked writing again in my heart for a profound reason: the world needs an honest word of refreshing right now.
Truthfully, I think I came out the womb babbling. Words are in my veins. As a young child, I made up rhymes and created imaginary worlds- a way to escape societal and private hardship.
Later, I began my author pilgrimage as a poet, but children’s literature now also stirs my heart. I compose from my Texas roots. My love of African oral lore and cultural traditions serve as the basis of much of my fiction. My stories illustrate the perseverance, strength, and fortitude that created Black success in America.
As an ethnographer and educational missionary, I’ve had the opportunity to experience and do life in many different cultural venues. These multicultural experiences influence both my poetry and devotionals. But God remains at the center of it all. His healing presence always made manifest.

He Knows, He Understands
Harsh daily realities, especially abuse born in our youth, may cause some of us to doubt God's lovingkindness. But it is for this very reason that He sent His Son Jesus to live as a man and die an excruciating death, so we could know that He cares and understands."He...
Oh What Salvation and Love
With Jesus' death on the cross, the second Adam restored us to a right relationship and fellowship with God and one another. To do so, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21...

I AM
Jesus said that "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me." That is the whole total of the Gospel. The return to the Father's house. When Adam and Eve sinned, we lost our place, we lost our identity, we lost our way. So Jesus's...
New Season
This is a season of transition and I thought it might be helpful to share how the transition occurs, at least how it occurred for me. I spoke with someone last night who seemed to suggest that when things go wrong or you are going through difficulties, God is speaking...
One Size
There's no such thing as one size fits all. There is no one size skin for everyone but I must be at peace with my skin. What feels good and right in my skin will not feel good and right in another and that's why, no matter how much we try to emulate and copy someone...
