Midweek Devotion

"Becoming the Beloved is pulling the truth revealed to me from above down into the ordinariness of what I am, in face, thinking of, talking about and doing from hour to hour." (Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved)


Read Psalm 139:14
  • How does knowing God loves you change the way you think about yourself? other people?
  • What difference does God's immense love for you make in your ordinary life?
  • How can you live more like God's beloved child?
Try this! Think about how much God loves you. Now thank about how much God loves each member of your family. Choose a day this week and commit to treating your family members as God's beloved children for that entire day. The following day, talk about how it felt to treat each other and be treated that way. Was it as easy or hard as you expected it to be? Why or why not?
