So to me, these two devotionals are what Jesus is all about.
As a child I grew up to believe that the Lord was some sort of angry God waiting to cast judgment on my every decision. The Jesus Calling app has led me to a different understanding.
He is a Lord who cares and is empathetic. He laughs when I laugh and he hurts when I am sad.
These devotionals have helped bring me through my valleys…my times of worry, anxiety, and pain.
I’ve posted these devotionals from my journal in the hopes that they touch the hearts of my friends who feel like I used to (and sometimes, still) feel-
♦ I grew up, and still struggle with shame and guilt
♦ I still struggle with my self-image
♦ I was angry, especially at God – sometimes my current circumstances
♦ I felt lost
♦ I hated going to church, and I hated when other Christians judged me and pressured me
♦ I struggle with depression and feelings of worthlessness
If you need peace in your life RIGHT NOW, I encourage you to get the Jesus Calling app and search “Peace”. Thank you for taking the time to read this and passing it along to others.
