Day 40 💙 For joy! Can you believe that the simple joy of knowing we would get to live in freedom & have eternal life with Him was why Jesus chose to endure suffering on the cross?

It makes me think of Romans 5 (continued in comments)

wordslinger42 "Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

His love is absolutely stunning, and I hope you receive it today. And if you don't know Jesus yet, I'd love to talk some time, so please feel welcome to reach out ?

Day 39! This one talks about one of my favorite psalms. I love it for the way you can read it when you're miserable or ashamed and need a reminder of God's grace and faithfulness, or when you're longing to celebrate God's generosity and character. Whatever you're feeling, this is the psalm to turn to 💜

Day 38! This offers so much hope, to think that instead of pain being the end of the story, God actually takes our suffering and turns it into an invitation to know Him better and trust Him more. He is so marvelously Great 💙

Day 37! This week especially, I'm so thankful for the reminder that God is able and He will always make a way where there seems to be none. I'm praying that this week, we can all raise our voices in faith and say, God, I like Your odds 😊❤

Crazeedi He can do the impossible if we listen and wait. We know He gives us exactly what we need at the very right time 4y
wordslinger42 @Crazeedi So true! 😊 He's been teaching me a lot about listening and waiting the last year or two (definitely doesn't come naturally to me 😅) 4y
Crazeedi @wordslinger42 it's very hard to just listen. We keep wanting to talk to him without giving him the chance to answer our prayers! I'm guilty of that too. 4y

Day 35! I really can't get over the verse she shares at the end: "When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.” (John 14:3) How wildly comforting to know that we have a Savior who longs for us to always be with Him where He is ?

Day 34 👑 Trust is a hard one for me. It's easier to retreat from letting others in. Keeping people at a distance removes the possibility of rejection, disappointment, & pain. What I have to work to remember is that I can trust God with my relationships with others. I can trust that, even if the worst happens & I get hurt, God remains steadfast & holds me steady. (Continued in comments!)

wordslinger42 What things do you struggle to trust God with? How can you surrender control to Him this weekend? 💙 4y

Day 33 ? "Do you want to get well?" does seem like such a silly question, but I loved this reminder that it's one we do need to consider. God is always ready and willing to heal us, but we also have to be willing to receive His healing and embrace all that being made new in Christ means!

Day 32 💙 This truth is one I am so thankful for and comforted by. I remember a Christian author writing that we must remember that when bad things happen, God isn't up in Heaven, wringing His hands, wondering how it will ever work out. No. (Continued in comments!)

wordslinger42 He knew all the details of our lives long before we ever lived one day, and He has had a plan from the beginning for how He will take the enemy's evil and use it for good. He'll bring beauty from ashes. And give us hope instead of despair. He is absolutely incredible 💜 What a privilege to serve Him. Romans 15:13 4y

Day 31❓ Realizing God invites us to wonder and ask questions is so encouraging to me. Understanding that He created curiosity as a doorway to empathy and relationship is incredible to consider!

What questions have you been holding back from asking God or others? I'm praying that God would give us the courage to be bold and childlike in our curiosity!

Day 30! ?

I think we all need this reminder on repeat in our thoughts as we learn to celebrate who God uniquely created us to be:

"He's called you, positioned you, & equipped you. There is a realm of influence - a group of people - that only you can inspire, encourage, & lead. There's a plan only you can complete. That's how valuable you are!"

So, what has God uniquely created only you to do? (Continued in comments!)

wordslinger42 This is something we should be celebrating together, and I'd love to encourage you 💙

For me, it's writing the specific stories He's given me. My experiences and perspectives are unique, and I love that God, knowing all the details of me from the very beginning, prepared stories for me to write for His glory.

What about you?

Day 28 ? I love where she says, "We invite God into our mess so He can deal with it and help us deal with it. When we invite Him into our calamities, He can get us out."

It's so easy when we're confronting hard truths to feel overwhelmed because we think we have to sort it all out ourselves. That just isn't true, though. So thankful for a God Who's willing to step into our mess & bring healing where it feels impossible. (Continued in comments!)

Day 27 💜 I love that when we're facing the unknown and feel frightened or unsure, we can lean on God's faithfulness. We don't have to rely on circumstances changing because God isn't thwarted by circumstance. What is a risk God's been asking you to take for Him?

For me, it's growing my publishing business. Right now, I don't know the next step to take, but I can rely on His faithfulness to lead me and make a way where there seems to be none!

Day 25 💜 This one means a lot to me. I am not a lover of change. At all 😅 That being said, I also don't want to miss out on the new things God is doing just because my preference is for routine. Praying for each of us, that no matter what change might come our way, we trust God to bring something wonderful from it.

What about you? Do you love change or is it something you try to avoid?

Day 22. What sticks out to me here is that forgiveness relies on God's faithfulness amd grace, not our ability to make it up to Him. We can't possibly earn forgiveness, and that can feel overwhelming, until we realize that when we confess our sins, it's His faithfulness we're relying on and His faithfulness that will never fail 💜 If there's any way I can be praying for you, please let me know!

Day 19 ? I love the part that says when we invite Him in as our Lord, He moves in. I love that the God of the universe would want that kind of relationship with us, would want to move in & cover us (& every moment of our past) in His grace ? "The Word became flesh & blood, & moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside & out, true from start to finish." John 1:14

Day 18 ? I can't count the number of times that I have felt uncomfortable in my own skin because my eyes have been fixed on someone else and on how much "more" she seems to be than me.

And then I read something like this. Something that pulls me out of insecurity and reminds me that I was hand-crafted by the God of the universe, all of my days laid out before Him. And He waits in delight as each one unfolds. Continued in comments!

wordslinger42 God created each of us so intentionally, with quirks and talents that should be celebrated.

But we don't celebrate them enough, do we? So let's start together.

What's one thing that you love about who God created you to be?

For me, it's my love for coloring, which shows no signs of fading with age. I'll be 97 and still have a colored pencil in hand 😅

Day 17 💙 I am not perfect. Neither are you. And God is not surprised by this. We were created for completely shame-free living, and while we may never experience the fullness of this on this side of Heaven, I'm thankful that God gives us a taste of it through His mercy and grace. Whatever shame you might be battling against, know I am praying for you and am always available to talk!

Day 16 ? When I need to remember that God is still present in my struggles and pain, this verse has brought Truth to the forefront of my thoughts again: "Hagar called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, 'You are a God of seeing,' for she said, 'Truly here I have seen Him who looks after me.'" Genesis 16:13

When things feel unbearably hard and God feels distant, there is nothing sweeter than remembering He sees me and looks after me.

Day 14! ? This is a reminder I need often! And I'm thankful for the verse she includes at the end: "He destined us for adoption as His children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will." Ephesians 1:5. I love how intentional God's love is and the thought that it gave Him great pleasure to call us His own ?

Day 13! This one speaks for itself ?

"There is only one Rescuer who has the power to free any of us from prison. This Rescuer is the God I love - & who loves you & me so much that He left everything to come for us, to die for us, to free us. And this God makes all things new. He loves you unconditionally, unrelentingly, & forever. He loves you in your brokenness, & He loves making you whole again." ?❤

Day 12 ?‍♀️ This devotions reminds me that God delights in us while we're in progress. He doesn't wait to love or delight in us until we're picture perfect. He loves us right now, wherever we might be. I love these two verses in Philippians that say "God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns" and (continued in comments!)

wordslinger42 that "God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him." Even when it feels like we have so much further to go, we can remember that God sees the finished work in us and is delighting in us while we grow ? Thanks for following along on my journey through this devotional, everyone! I'm excited to keep sharing it with you! ? 4y

Day 11 💖 I love that God is not thwarted by people's opinions about or mistreatment of us. This is a powerful reminder for me, that even when relationships are broken and life is painfully unexpected, God's love for us remains. Our identities as His fearfully and wonderfully made sons and daughters can't be taken. I'm praying He uses that truth to fill you with peace tonight just as He did for me.

Day 10 ? I love today's reading! It makes me think of Psalm 25:4: "Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow." God delights in doing just that, & Joshua 6 shows that off beautifully! But there's one thing that really stands out. In Josh. 6:2, God tells Joshua to see His deliverance long before the walls ever fell. He called for obedience, faith, & perseverance before the promise was ever fulfilled. Continued in comments!

wordslinger42 What are the walls you need to believe are going to fall? For me, it's restoration for some broken family relationships and clarity for next steps. I'm believing that because of God's faithfulness, we're going to see those walls crumble before they ever start to fall. 4y
Daisey This one seems incredibly relevant to me. So often we can‘t see far enough to understand, yet we must have faith. 4y
wordslinger42 @Daisey Yes! And I think we're often so resistant to waiting, but that time of waiting is when God's bringing about beautiful things that we'll miss out on if we try to rush ahead of Him 4y

Day 7 🌹 Holding onto past failures and hurts, letting them consume my daily thoughts, is a struggle I am uncomfortably familiar with. My prayer for all of us is that we'd allow there to be a sweeping away of the old and an ushering in of the new. It's such a sweet promise from God that I don't want any of us to miss out on 💙

Day 6 🌊 This one means a lot to me. Vulnerability & trust don't come easily to me. I open up to people slowly (often, too slowly), so this reminder of God's patience is so sweet for me. I'm so thankful for the patient, steadfast friends He's blessed me with over the last few years, people who reflect His patience beautifully. Continued in comments!

wordslinger42 Is vulnerability difficult for you? I hope there are people in your life who help make it a little easier, but if not, I'm here and happy to talk with you any time 💙 4y

Day 5 😊 I love how God delighting in us leads to us delighting in Him right back. And that He delights in us no matter what state our hearts and minds are in... weary, joyful, sad, passionate, lonely... He's not afraid of any of it (and even better, He understands any and all of our emotions). What are you thankful to God for? Are there any ways that He's shown His delight for you recently?

Sleepswithbooks I am thankful to God for taking a broken, self-despising, drug addicted, selfish person and patiently granting so much mercy, love, and forgiveness. He‘s turning me into a whole person, one of gratitude and love 💛✨💛✨ 4y

Day 4! This one means a lot to me, especially the part about how living from a place of passion turns the things we "have" to do into things we "get" to do! And then to think of doing those things because of the passion that comes from the Holy Spirit filling us ? It transforms the things that would have drained me dry into things that actually revive me. Changes everything ? Continued in comments!

wordslinger42 What fuels your passion? What keeps you from having passionate enthusiasm in God? I'd love to talk more about this with you all! 4y
wordslinger42 Also, I thought of this verse while reading this devotion: "Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise You!" Psalm 63:3 ? One of my favorites! 4y

Day 2! One of my words for 2020 is "Finished" because I've always struggled with fixating on my mistakes and failings. I've let them be the defining force in my life instead of Jesus and His finished work on the cross. It's been such a weight lifted this year to start taking my eyes off myself and fixing them on Jesus! Does anything really resonate with you in today's reading? ?

Butterfinger We don't have to remain burdened with our sins. He has already borne them. 4y
wordslinger42 @Butterfinger I feel like that's a promise I'm just starting to really believe this year 😊 4y

I decided to start this devotional by Christine Caine (in August instead of January because I'm a real rebel 😅), and I thought I'd post each day's reading in case anyone would like to read along with me! 😊 I'm really enjoying it so far, especially with how uncertain everything feels in the world right now

TheAromaofBooks I can remember a similar experience when Dad was teaching me how to drive - I really had trouble just pulling into a parking space. He told me, “First, you need to decide where you want to go, and then go there.“ It's really stuck with me through the years! 4y
