Day 3: When Your Expectations Are Wrong

Devotional
The disciples on the road to Emmaus were not bad people. They were sincere. They genuinely loved Jesus. But their expectations of what He was supposed to do had been shaped more by cultural hope than by Scripture. And that gap between expectation and reality is exactly where their faith broke down. After listening to their grief, Jesus gently but directly addressed the root issue. He walked them through the Scriptures, from Moses to the prophets, showing them what had actually been written about the Messiah all along. The cross was not a tragedy. It was the plan. This is a loving but honest challenge for all of us. How much of what we expect from God is actually rooted in His Word, and how much is rooted in what we want, what our culture tells us, or what we have simply assumed? When God does not meet our expectations, it is worth asking whether our expectations were ever truly biblical in the first place. This is not meant to be discouraging. It is actually freeing. Because when we let Scripture shape our understanding of God rather than our preferences, we stop being blindsided. We start seeing Him more clearly. And as Jesus spoke truth to those two disciples, something remarkable happened. Their hearts began to burn within them, even before they fully understood why.

Bible Verse
"Then He said to them, 'O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!'" - Luke 24:25 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Are there expectations you have placed on God that are rooted more in personal preference or cultural influence than in what Scripture actually promises?

Quote
"If you don't know your Bible, you will misinterpret 90% of life."

Prayer
Father, give me a hunger for Your Word that shapes how I see You. Correct my expectations with Your truth, and let my heart burn for You again.

Day 2: He Walks With You Anyway

Devotional
One of the most tender details in the Emmaus story is this: Jesus walked with two discouraged disciples before they even knew it was Him. He did not wait for them to get their faith together. He did not require them to turn around first. He simply came alongside them in the middle of their grief. That is who Jesus is. He meets you where you are, not where you think you should be. Notice what He did first. He asked questions. He listened. He let them pour out their sadness before He ever said a word of correction. He was not in a hurry to fix them. He was present with them. That kind of grace is worth sitting with for a moment. You may be on a road right now that feels exhausting and discouraging. Maybe you have been rehearsing your disappointment over and over, trying to make sense of it. Jesus is not standing at a distance, arms crossed, waiting for you to figure it out. He has already stepped onto your road. He is already walking with you. God, so it seems, often inserts Himself into our tiresome, exhausting journey and becomes a fellow traveler. That is not a small thing. That is the heart of a Savior who refuses to let you walk alone.

Bible Verse
"Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem." - Luke 24:13 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
How might your perspective on your current struggle shift if you truly believed Jesus was walking right beside you in it?

Quote
"God, so it seems, often inserts Himself into our tiresome, exhausting journey and becomes a fellow traveler."

Prayer
Jesus, help me to sense Your presence on the road I am walking today. Remind me that I am never as alone as I feel.

Day 1: When Hope Falls Apart

Devotional
We have all been there. You believed God was going to come through in a specific way, and He didn't. At least, not the way you expected. The two disciples walking to Emmaus knew this feeling deeply. They had placed their hope in Jesus to restore Israel, to overthrow Rome, to make everything right. When He died, their world collapsed. So they walked away. Disappointment is powerful. It doesn't just hurt your feelings; it moves your feet. It creates distance between you and God, between you and community, between you and the future you once believed in. Proverbs 13:12 says it plainly: hope deferred makes the heart sick. That is not weakness. That is being human. But here is what is so encouraging about this story. Jesus did not let them walk alone. On the very day of His resurrection, He chose to pursue two people who were giving up. Not the bold ones still in Jerusalem. The ones walking away. If you are in a season where your hope has taken a hit, you are not disqualified from God's presence. You are not too far gone. He sees exactly where you are, and He is already moving toward you. Your disappointment does not push Jesus away. It draws Him near.

Bible Verse
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life." - Proverbs 13:12 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what area of your life has unmet expectation created distance between you and God, and have you been honest with Him about it?

Quote
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick."

Prayer
Lord, I bring You my disappointment honestly today. Thank You that my broken expectations do not keep You away. Draw near to me, even now.

Day 5: This Is for You, Right Now

Devotional
Maybe you have been a follower of Jesus for decades. Maybe you gave your life to Him recently. Either way, here is something you need to hear: abiding in Christ is not a reward for the spiritually advanced. It is available to you right now, exactly as you are. Abiding is not something you earn by getting your act together first. It is not reserved for people who have read the whole Bible or never struggled with doubt. It is a daily, moment-by-moment practice of remaining in Christ and living from that place of connection. And it starts the moment you choose to stay. You are not behind. You are not disqualified. In Christ, you are already complete. His life is already in you. The invitation is simply to live from that reality rather than forgetting it. As you move forward from this week, carry this with you: every morning is a fresh opportunity to acknowledge Him, draw from Him, and let His strength be yours. Not because you have to, but because everything you need is already found in Him. That is not just a nice idea. That is the heart of what it means to follow Jesus. Stay connected. The rest will follow.

Bible Verse
"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'" - Hebrews 13:5 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What is one small, daily habit you could begin this week that would help you stay more consistently connected to Christ?

Quote
"Abiding in him is not something we work to accomplish in order to receive or enjoy our salvation. It's allowing him to do in us what we cannot for ourselves."

Prayer
Jesus, thank You that abiding in You is not something I have to earn. Help me to live each day from the reality that Your life is already in me and that everything I need is found in You. Amen.

Day 4: When His Word Gets the Final Say

Devotional
Every single day, voices compete for your attention. Fear says you will not make it. Guilt says you are too far gone. Anxiety says the worst is coming. Past failure says you should know better by now. These voices are real, and they are loud. Abiding in Christ does not mean those voices disappear. It means something more powerful: His Word gets the final say. When you are genuinely rooted in Christ, Scripture is not just something you read. It is something that reads you. It speaks into your fear, your doubt, and your confusion with an authority that nothing else carries. And over time, as you stay connected, His voice becomes the one you recognize most clearly. This is why abiding has such a direct effect on prayer and peace. When His Word is living in you, your desires begin to align with His will. Your prayers shift. Your perspective shifts. You stop reacting from panic and start responding from a place of groundedness. Practically, this might mean pausing before you react to a stressful situation and asking, "What does God say about this?" It might mean opening Scripture not to check a box but to actually hear from Him. Small habits, practiced consistently, build a life that is rooted and unshakeable.

Bible Verse
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." - John 15:7 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Which voice tends to speak loudest in your life right now, and how might consistently returning to God's Word begin to change that?

Quote
"Abiding means we're allowing His Word to have the final word. It's not saying that there's not real voices. There are. But abiding means His Word has the final say."

Prayer
Lord, I want Your voice to be the loudest one in my life. Help me to return to Your Word daily and let it shape how I see myself, my circumstances, and my future. Amen.

Day 3: The Fruit Grows Itself

Devotional
Here is something that might surprise you: God is not primarily asking you to produce fruit. He is asking you to stay connected to the One who produces it through you. A branch does not hold a strategy meeting about how to grow apples. It does not set goals or push through exhaustion to make something happen. It simply stays attached to the tree, and the life of the tree does what only the tree can do. This is one of the most freeing truths in all of Scripture. Holiness, patience, love, peace, and every other fruit of the Spirit are not things you manufacture. They are things that grow naturally when you are genuinely connected to Christ. You may have spent years feeling guilty that you are not more patient, more generous, or more consistent. But guilt alone never changed anyone. Connection does. When His life is flowing through yours, transformation happens from the inside out. This does not mean you are passive. Staying connected takes intentionality. It means feeding on His Word, talking to Him honestly, and choosing to depend on Him rather than defaulting to your own instincts. But the pressure to perform? You can let that go. The fruit is His job. Your job is to stay.

Bible Verse
"Let each one sow for himself, and he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." - Galatians 6:7-8 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Is there an area of your life where you have been trying to force growth rather than trusting God to produce it through your connection to Him?

Quote
"A branch does not struggle to grow apples. It simply stays connected to the tree, and the life of the tree produces the fruit naturally."

Prayer
Father, thank You that I do not have to manufacture what only You can grow. Help me to stay connected to You and trust that Your life in me will produce what I cannot produce on my own. Amen.

Day 2: Making Your Home in Him

Devotional
Home is a powerful word. It is where you belong, where you rest, where you are fully yourself. Now imagine Jesus saying to you, "Make your home in Me." That is exactly what He is saying. In John 15, Jesus uses the word abide nine times in just eight verses. He is not being repetitive for the sake of it. He is making sure we do not miss it. The Greek word for abide is meno, and it means to remain, to dwell, to stay, to make your home there. This is not a casual invitation. Jesus is not asking to be a helpful resource you check in with when life gets hard. He wants to be your dwelling place. The place you live from, not just visit. Think about the difference between visiting a place and actually living there. When you live somewhere, it shapes your rhythms, your habits, your perspective. That is what Jesus is after. He wants His life, His peace, and His strength to become the very atmosphere you breathe every single day. You do not have to earn your way into this. You are already invited. The question is whether you will settle in and stay.

Bible Verse
"As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." - Colossians 2:6-7 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What would it look like practically for your daily life to be rooted in Christ rather than just occasionally connected to Him?

Quote
"The Greek word translated abide is the Greek word meno. And what it literally means is to remain, to continue to dwell, to stay, to make your home there."

Prayer
Jesus, I want You to be more than someone I visit in hard moments. Help me to make my home in You and to live every day from that place of connection. Amen.

Day 1: You Were Made for More Than Trying Harder

Devotional
Have you ever felt like you were doing everything right but still coming up short? You pray, you show up, you try. And yet something still feels off. You are not alone, and more importantly, you are not failing. Many believers carry a quiet frustration because they are working hard for God when He is actually inviting them into something different. Jesus, in John 15, paints a picture that should stop us in our tracks. He describes a vine and its branches. A branch does not grunt and strain to grow fruit. It simply stays attached. The life of the vine does the work. That is the picture Jesus is drawing for you and me. Here is the good news: God is not standing at the finish line waiting to see how hard you pushed. He is the source. He is the vine. And He is inviting you to stop straining and start staying connected. This week, we are going to explore what it means to truly abide in Christ. Not just believe in Him from a distance, but actually live from Him, draw from Him, and let His life flow through yours. It is a way of life that changes everything, and it starts today.

Bible Verse
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Galatians 2:20 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what areas of your life are you straining in your own strength rather than drawing from Christ?

Quote
"The answer is not that we have to try harder. The answer is to abide in Him."

Prayer
Lord, I confess that I have been trying to do in my own strength what only You can do through me. Teach me this week what it truly means to abide in You. Amen.

Day 5: Rest Is Not Giving Up

Devotional
For many people, rest feels like quitting. If you are not striving, pushing, or working toward something, it can feel like you are falling behind. But the rest that God calls you into is nothing like that. Resting in Christ is not passive. It is one of the most active, intentional decisions a believer can make. It means choosing every day to stop trying to earn what has already been given, to stop fighting for what is already yours, and to simply abide in the One who has already won. Abiding is the key. When you stay connected to God through His Word, through prayer, and through trust, you are not doing nothing. You are positioning yourself to receive everything He has already provided. Healing, peace, strength, and righteousness are not destinations you are trying to reach. They are realities you are learning to walk in. This is the invitation at the end of it all: stop stressing about the question and start standing on the answer. The answer is not a strategy or a formula. The answer is a Person, and His name is Jesus. You do not have to have it all together. You just have to stay close to Him. That is where everything you need already lives.

Bible Verse
"But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth." - Psalm 86:15 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What would it practically look like for you to choose rest and abiding in Christ this week instead of striving in your own strength?

Quote
"I'm done stressing on the question. And what I'm going to do is start stressing on the answer. And the answer is, be strong in the Lord."

Prayer
Father, teach me what it truly means to rest in You. Help me to stop striving and to trust that everything I need is already found in Jesus. Amen.

Day 4: Know the Enemy's Strategy

Devotional
Have you ever noticed that doubt and discouragement seem to show up at the worst possible moments? Right after a breakthrough. Right after God speaks something over your life. Right when things are starting to move in the right direction. That is not a coincidence. The enemy has a strategy, and it is a simple one: get you to agree with a lie instead of a promise. If he can get you to doubt what God said, He does not need to do much else. You will do the work of holding yourself back. This is exactly why the shield of faith matters so much. Faith is not just a feeling. It is a decision to hold onto what God has said even when circumstances are screaming something different. Every time you choose to believe God's Word over the enemy's lie, you are using that shield exactly the way it was designed to be used. You do not have to be perfect at this. You do not have to have it all figured out. You just have to pick up what God has already given you and use it. His Word has a life of its own. When you wield it, it works. Do not let the enemy talk you out of what God has already spoken over you. Hold the line.

Bible Verse
"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." - Ephesians 6:10 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What lie has the enemy been using most consistently against you, and what specific promise from God directly contradicts it?

Quote
"The devil has a strategy and his strategy is to take you out."

Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to the strategies the enemy uses against me. Give me the faith to hold onto Your promises even when everything around me says otherwise. Amen.

Day 3: It Is Already Yours

Devotional
Imagine working incredibly hard to earn something, only to find out it was already paid for and waiting for you the whole time. That is a picture of what many believers experience when it comes to righteousness, peace, and strength in Christ. The armor of God described in Ephesians 6 is not a checklist to complete each morning. Every piece of that armor points back to something Christ already accomplished through His death and resurrection. The righteousness you are called to wear is not something you produced. It was given to you. This matters because striving for something you already have is exhausting. It keeps you focused on your own effort rather than on what Jesus has done. And it quietly suggests that His work was not quite enough, that you need to add something to it. You do not. What Christ secured for you through redemption is complete. Your job is not to earn it. Your job is to believe it, receive it, and walk in it. Today, let that truth settle in. You have been made righteous. You have been given peace. You have been equipped. Stop reaching for what is already in your hands and start living like it belongs to you, because it does.

Bible Verse
"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." - 2 Corinthians 5:21 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Is there an area of your faith where you have been striving to earn something that Christ has already freely given you?

Quote
"You are fighting and striving and working for something that is already yours. You are laboring to be something. I've already said you are."

Prayer
Jesus, thank You for the finished work of the cross. Help me to truly believe that what You accomplished is enough, and give me the courage to walk in what You have already provided. Amen.

Day 2: You Are Already Strong

Devotional
Most of us hear the phrase "be strong" and immediately feel the pressure to produce something we do not currently have. We think it means try harder, push further, or dig deeper. But what if that is the wrong way to read it entirely? Ephesians 6:10 does not say become strong. It says be strong in the Lord. That one word, be, changes everything. It is not a command to manufacture something new. It is an invitation to step into something that already exists. God is not standing at a distance, waiting for you to get it together before He helps you. He is not frustrated by your weakness or surprised by your struggle. The strength He is pointing you toward is His own, and it is already available to you right now. This is genuinely good news. You do not have to earn your way into strength. You do not have to perform your way into peace. You simply have to believe that what God says about you is true and begin living from that place. You are not trying to become something. You are stepping into who God has already declared you to be. That is a completely different starting point, and it changes everything about how you face today.

Bible Verse
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." - Ephesians 6:10 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what area of your life have you been striving to produce strength on your own, and what would it look like to simply receive it from God instead?

Quote
"God ultimately, in the end, showed me that He wasn't telling me to manufacture more strength. He was teaching me how to draw upon his strength."

Prayer
Father, thank You that Your strength is already available to me. Help me to stop striving and start trusting that what You have provided is more than enough for what I am facing. Amen.

Day 1: Feed What Matters Most

Devotional
Think about the last thing that kept you up at night. Was it a worry, a problem, or a fear that just kept replaying in your mind? That is not a coincidence. Whatever you consistently feed your mind is what grows strongest inside you. Here is the honest truth: everyone meditates on something. Every single day, your mind is chewing on something, turning it over, letting it sink in. The question is not whether you are meditating. The question is what you are meditating on. When God's Word is not regularly filling your heart and mind, your natural thoughts will fill that space instead. And your natural mind, left to itself, will almost always drift toward fear, doubt, and worry rather than faith and peace. But here is the encouragement: this is not about perfection. It is not about reading a certain number of chapters or checking a box. It is about intentionally choosing to let God's truth be the thing that takes root in you. Start small if you need to. One verse. One promise. Read it, sit with it, and let it sink in. You will be surprised how much changes when you begin feeding the right thing.

Bible Verse
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." - John 15:5 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What have you been meditating on most this week, and how has it shaped the way you feel and respond to life?

Quote
"When your natural mind looks for something to feed on, it is not going to be godly."

Prayer
Lord, help me to be intentional about filling my mind with Your truth every day. Teach me to abide in You so that Your Word becomes the loudest voice in my life. Amen.

Day 5: Rest in What He Has Already Done

Devotional
After four days of building on this foundation, here is where it all lands: you do not have to strive. You do not have to perform. You do not have to white-knuckle your way into God's promises. Christ has already done the work. Every requirement was fulfilled at the cross. Healing, freedom, peace, and wholeness were all secured for you before you ever asked. Resting in that truth is not passive. It is one of the most active things you can do. It means choosing, every day, to let God's Word go deeper into your heart. It means speaking what He says even when circumstances say something different. It means trusting that the God who started this work in you is faithful to complete it. You are not lacking anything you need. Everything required for life and godliness has already been given to you through Christ. The journey is simply learning to live from that place, from fullness rather than emptiness, from victory rather than defeat. If you have ever looked at someone else's breakthrough and quietly thought, "I wish that could be me," hear this: Jesus says, "I want to." He is not holding out on you. He is inviting you in. Come to Him today, not striving, just resting, and watch what He does.

Bible Verse
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." - Psalm 23:1 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What would it practically look like for you to rest in what Christ has already accomplished rather than striving to earn what He has freely given?

Quote
Resting in me is allowing my word to permeate your heart.

Prayer
Father, teach me to rest in You. Help me to stop striving and start trusting that everything I need is already found in Christ. Let Your Word go deep into my heart today. Amen.

Day 4: Faith Is Not the Problem

Devotional
If you have ever prayed for something and it did not happen, your first instinct might have been to blame yourself. Maybe your faith was not strong enough. Maybe you did not believe hard enough. That kind of thinking can leave you feeling defeated before you even start. Here is something freeing: the issue is rarely the size of your faith. Faith and doubt are not opposites on a scale where one outweighs the other. They pull in completely different directions. When both are present at the same time, they cancel each other out. Nothing moves. Not because your faith was too small, but because doubt was working against it. The answer is not to try harder to believe. It is to deal with the doubt by consistently filling your mind with Scripture. The more your mind is renewed, the less room doubt has to operate. And here is the encouragement: the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is living inside of you right now. That power is not far away. It is not waiting for you to reach some higher level. It is already in you. Keep renewing your mind. Keep speaking truth. Let your thinking catch up to what your Spirit already knows.

Bible Verse
"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." - Romans 8:11 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
Where in your life has doubt been quietly working against your faith, and what would it look like to address it with Scripture instead of willpower?

Quote
Doubt and faith work in opposite directions and they pull against each other and they neutralize so that in the end, the effect is nothing happens.

Prayer
Holy Spirit, I invite You to work in me today. Where doubt has taken root, uproot it with Your truth, and let the same power that raised Jesus be alive and active in my life. Amen.

Day 3: Watch What You Are Saying

Devotional
Your words are not neutral. They carry weight, and they reveal something important: what is actually going on in your heart. If your conversations are constantly filled with fear, worst-case scenarios, and statements about what you cannot do or what will never change, that is worth paying attention to. Not with shame, but with honesty. Speaking your symptoms, your limitations, and your doubts out loud does not just describe your situation. It reinforces it. On the other hand, speaking what God says, even when it feels like a stretch, begins to shift the atmosphere around you and inside of you. This is not about pretending everything is fine. It is about choosing to speak a higher reality. Jesus bore sickness, sin, and shame so that you would not have to carry them. That is already done. The question is whether your words are agreeing with what He accomplished or with what the enemy is trying to convince you of. Start small. When fear rises up, pause before you speak it. Replace it with a declaration of what God says. It may feel awkward at first, but there is real power in aligning your words with truth. You are a supernatural person, and your words matter more than you think.

Bible Verse
"He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses." - Matthew 8:17 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
What is one thing you have been speaking over your life that does not line up with what God says is true about you?

Quote
The power of life and death are in the tongue. The Bible also says that we’ll be justified or condemned by our words.

Prayer
Jesus, help me to speak life today. Where my words have been agreeing with fear or defeat, give me the courage to align them with Your truth instead. Amen.

Day 2: You Are Not Who You Used to Be

Devotional
Here is something worth sitting with today: you are not the same person you were before Christ. That is not motivational language. It is a spiritual reality. At salvation, something miraculous happened inside of you. Your Spirit was made completely new, and the old version of you passed away. The tricky part is that your mind did not automatically get the update. You can be a brand new creation on the inside while still thinking like the old you on the outside. That gap between what is true in your Spirit and what feels true in your mind is exactly where so many people get stuck. This is why renewing your mind through Scripture is not optional. It is how the miracle that happened in your Spirit begins to show up in your everyday life. God's Word is not just information. It is transformation. The more you fill your mind with what God says about you, the more your thinking begins to align with who you actually are in Christ. You are not fighting to become something. You are learning to live out what you already are. That shift in perspective changes everything. Give yourself grace in the process, and keep coming back to the Word.

Bible Verse
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
In what area of your life is your thinking still reflecting the old you rather than who God says you are in Christ?

Quote
You are not the same person. Now. I know you may look in the mirror and go, well, I look the same. You know, sometimes I think the same. But that’s interesting to me that when you go back into the Bible and you begin to study the Word of God, one of the first things that is to happen in our salvation is we’re to have our mind renewed and our mind is renewed through the word of God.

Prayer
Lord, renew my mind today. Where my thoughts do not line up with Your truth, replace them with what You say about me. Help me to live from the inside out. Amen.

Day 1: You Are Already Loved

Devotional
Before you took a single step toward God, He was already running toward you. That is not a poetic idea. It is the truth of who He is. He is not watching you from a distance, arms crossed, waiting for you to get it together. He is close, compassionate, and completely in love with you. Sometimes life makes it hard to believe that. Mistakes pile up. Old habits resurface. You look in the mirror and wonder if God is tired of you. He is not. His character does not change based on your performance. He is gracious, longsuffering, and overflowing with mercy, and that is the God who lives inside of you right now. This is where everything begins. Before we talk about healing, renewal, or walking in God's promises, we have to settle this foundation: God is for you. He is not your problem. He is your answer. You do not have to earn His love or prove your worth to receive it. It was given freely, and it is yours. Start here today. Let this truth sink in a little deeper than it did yesterday. You are not on probation with God. You are His, and He is yours.

Bible Verse
"But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth." - Psalm 86:15 (New King James Version (NKJV))

Reflection Question
If you truly believed God was not disappointed in you, how would that change the way you approached Him today?

Quote
God is not mad at you. God is not mad at you. He loves you. He is hopelessly, passionately in love with you.

Prayer
Father, thank You for loving me not because of what I have done but because of who You are. Help me to receive Your love fully today and let it be the foundation everything else is built on. Amen.
