Synopsis
Come as you are--for real--and know that God cares about every aspect of your life.
The messages we hear about empowerment often run along the lines of "If you believe in yourself, you can do anything!" It's an inspiring slogan in the moment, but its energy fizzles out in the long run. When you're left feeling less than, incapable, or not enough, Jesus sees you as valuable, whole, and good. Knowing who we are in Christ is what truly empowers us. Through the sixty readings in this devotional, you will learn to
· stop compartmentalizing your faith and experience God in every part of your being: physical, mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual
· reject the lies that you're not worthy by understanding that the way God designed you is exactly who you need to be
· look beyond self-help catchphrases and live each day in the truth of God's Word and by the power of the Holy Spirit
Through Scripture, stories, prayers, and reflection questions, this devotional will help you cultivate each area of your life to live fully as God created you to be.
Written by Mary Carver, Grace P. Cho, and Anna E. Rendell.
