Book Cover & Preview Text
Yes, you! Do you really know how special you are? I mean, really. Our society and culture can flood your heart with so much information, it’s not always easy to know what the real truth is. It’s hard to know what to believe about others, and about yourself. Being a Christian and having faith may be something you learned as a young child, but now that you are forming a mind of your own, you want to have a part in what you choose to believe. As you discover your faith, maybe you have some questions. Maybe it seems as if being a girl of faith comes with rigid rules, strings attached, restrictions, or just too many interpretations of what is actually right or wrong. Maybe it’s left you wondering…What is the real way to live life to the fullest? What does chasing after Jesus really mean?
We all ask ourselves these sorts of questions at some point in our lives. The beautiful thing about how we were created is that we were given minds to question and to learn, and hearts to yearn for more and to seek truth. God made you that way and He wants you to seek Him with your whole heart! The best part of all is that there are answers to your questions. God provides them to you in the most important book of all time - the Bible. While it can be intimidating trying to make sense of your faith, God will meet you right where you are and fill your heart with truth - real Truth!
In this devotional, may you be able to discover some of those truths that your heart and mind may be wrestling with, and find peace in knowing you are not alone in this life, but accompanied by your Heavenly Father, who knows you better than you know yourself. He is a gracious Father that sees you just as you are - His priceless daughter. He loves you so much and wants you to live your best life.
It is said in John 14:6 that Jesus tells His disciples that He is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus shows us the way in which we are to live, He feeds us truth through His Word (Bible), and He is the way to not only have an abundant life, but an eternal one, as well.
In 30 days, I hope you’ll gain more understanding of what it takes to be a girl that chases after the way to live, the truth of who Jesus is, and the abundant life He offers us. A life that glorifies God. May your heart be encouraged as you become the beautiful young lady God is calling you to be. Grab a pencil, your Bible, and maybe your favorite drink and snack; then cozy up in a quiet corner to refuel your heart, because Jesus is waiting to spend time with you.
