Day 29: You're Worth It

Day 29: You're Worth It

A Lover calls out to you and He says' "You're worth it". A God who laid down His life in the most barbaric, violent, gruesome, torturous way, Who took the beatings and flogging, Who let death itself take Him away and came back in three days just so He could say to you, humanity, that to Him... You're worth it. The Lord of all, Jesus Christ, is speaking to us right now with arms wide open, saying, "I loved you even then. Not when you were clean or "perfect" but when I simply s

Day 28: A Beautiful Betrothal

Day 28: A Beautiful Betrothal

Before you were born there was a lover that betrothed Himself to you. Before you were ready to commit or before you even decided if you ever would commit to Him, He made the lifetime commitment, agreement, vow that He would love you through sickness, health, sin, shame, pride, ignorance, rejection, hatred, questioning, for better and for worse, when you let human emotions run wild in your relationship with Him, when you let the world come before Him in your life, He STILL bet

Day 27: When Lovers Run

Day 27: When Lovers Run

Remember your first real "break-up"? Or the first time someone you truly adored walked out of your life? Or the first time someone really special in your life that you loved dearly moved away or cut you out? Or when that loved one died? Remember the immense amount of pain that consumed your heart? Perhaps that time is now. Maybe you've experienced what you thought was the most heart-wrenching pain in your life, and now you are going through a different experience that is show

Day 26: Powerless Fear

Day 26: Powerless Fear

Fear, my old "friend", that use to disguise itself as a safe place, a place that I would not get hurt in and would not be alone in, at least that's what it promised me. Fear, and its cunning ways of covering up the truth with colorful lies of the devastation that could result from not living in it. Fear... a consuming idol that we bow to in our disobedience to the Father who is the exact opposite of fear. Fear. Whatever it is to you and whatever it is keeping you from or keep

Day 25: Nothing Wasted

Day 25: Nothing Wasted

You would never call time of doing nothing with an earthly lover a waste of time would you? Would you call sitting at home doing nothing with your spouse a waste? No. Because it is in that time, even when you perceive it as nothing happening, that everything is happening, the most important things are happening. You are together and you are growing. You are building up your relationship when you spend time together, even if you aren't doing something fun or extravagant. Same

Day 24: Unforgotten Bride

Day 24: Unforgotten Bride

For today's devotional, I want to share something a little different. A few months ago I felt God give me a word, sort of a poem about being the bride of Christ. I shared a tidbit of it in a video but today someone reminded me of that message and told me that God was speaking that word over me personally and that He wants me to share this word with everyone publicly. So here it goes. You are not forgotten, Bride. Though your wedding dress waste way in the back of your closet

Day 23: Love's Not Blind

Day 23: Love's Not Blind

Everyone always says that love is blind. We tend to be blind to the flaws of someone we fall in love with and if we do see them we tend to just kind of ignore it because we let our infatuation blind us. It is so funny how humanly/earthly love is often times so opposite of true, perfect love, of God's love. There is absolutely NOTHING about God's love that is blind. He is not blind to our flaws, faults, imperfections. He is not blind to our sins and our shame. He is not blind

Day 22: He Never Disappoints

Day 22: He Never Disappoints

As I begin to write this devotional I am sitting down but still dancing and trying to contain myself. I didn't even know what to title this devo because I simply cannot think of anything except THE GOODNESS OF JESUS! You know when you go to your favorite restaurant and you've been waiting for your food then you finally see the server walking towards your table with a steaming hot meal for you, and you do that little happy dance in your seat? Or am I the only one who does that

Day 21: Combative Confidence

Day 21: Combative Confidence

That little monster poked its head out at me today. You know, that ugly, painful, nasty green with envy monster. Jealousy. I hate that little punk. It's satan's personal sidekick who is actually quite lazy when you think about how little effort it puts in. It just throws a picture out there, a comment, a thought, and, if not grounded in our identity and if we don't rope in our emotions immediately, it can lead us on a downhill icy slope going fast. Let's be real... It's hard

Day 20: Beyond Seasons

Day 20: Beyond Seasons

A few hours ago I went hiking with some friends and the weather was absolutely beautiful. It was almost 70 degrees, the sun was shining, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. This past Thursday, however, it was some of the coldest temperatures Georgia has seen in years, there was snow on the ground, and the roads were icy. It was in the span of just a few days that the weather, the atmosphere completely shifted. As quickly as the weather changes, the season of life you are in
