Overflowing Abundance

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.—John 10:10 (NIV)
It’s easy to forget this beautiful truth: You can have a full and beautiful life right now, because the true source of joy comes from serving and communing with God. When you pursue God with all your heart, you experience overflowing abundance.
Jesus, You are the key, the only way to living a joy-filled and meaningful life.

Rest and Recharge

When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.—Matthew 14:13 (NIV)
When Jesus needed to recharge, He connected with God in prayer. Follow His example. Establish a habit where you turn to Him to help you navigate stress. Ask for His help calming your worries and focusing your energy. Rest and recharge in His presence.
Heavenly Father, help me to escape life’s busyness by connecting with You.

A New Thing

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”—Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV)
God’s work in your life is greater than you can imagine. Reflect on the amazing things He has already done for you: surprises, blessings, miraculous outcomes when your situation improved against all odds. What is yet to come will be even greater!
Dear God, what new things do You have in store for me? I cannot wait to see.

He Weeps with You

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. “Where have you laid him?” he asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they replied. Jesus wept.—John 11:33–35 (NIV)
In times of loss, remind yourself that you are not alone. God knows what it feels like to grieve. After Lazarus died, when Jesus saw Martha, He was deeply upset, and He wept. When you are in the depths of sorrow, offer your pain to Jesus, know that He weeps with you.
Heavenly Father, one day You will wipe every tear from my eyes.

The Greatest Position

Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.—Matthew 18:4 (NIV)
Max Lucado said, “Which would you prefer? To be king of the mountain for a day? Or to be a child of God for eternity?” When you depend on Jesus and trust Him with all your needs, He will fill you with reassurance and hope. Take in this truth: You are His child, in this world and beyond.

Ask Yourself

Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”—Mark 4:40 (NLT)

Feed Your Spirit

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”—John 6:35 (NIV)
The best spiritual self-care practice is devoting time to your faith journey. In the same way that you need daily nourishment to feed your body, you must spend time with Jesus to keep your spirit healthy and strong. When Jesus says, “I am the Bread of Life,” He is telling you that He can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul.
Lord, You are the manna that sustains me in the desert of my daily life.

The Power of Humility

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.—Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)
God gives grace to the humble. Ask Him to help you release whatever prideful qualities are holding you back: seeking attention from others, judging friends and loved ones and feeling superior to them or feeling upset when you aren’t recognized for an accomplishment.
Lord, help me understand what it truly means to lead a humble life. How You see me is all that matters.

Made for Another World

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”—John 4:13–14 (NIV)
Author C.S. Lewis wrote, “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.” We are all spiritual beings with a desire from within for something greater. Reaching out to God and developing a relationship with Him fills your day, and  your life, with meaning.  
Heavenly Father, earthly blessings are wonderful, but only Your love can truly satisfy me.
