Today’s Scripture 

“Yet, as God’s servants, we prove ourselves authentic in every way. For example: We have great endurance in hardships and in persecutions. We don’t lose courage in a time of stress and calamity. We’ve been beaten many times, imprisoned, and found ourselves in the midst of riots. We’ve endured many troubles, had sleepless nights, and gone hungry. We have proved ourselves by our lifestyles of purity, by our spiritual insights, by our patience, and by showing kindness, by the Spirit of holiness and by our uncritical love for you. We commend ourselves to you by our truthful teachings, by the power of God working through us, and with the mighty weapons of righteousness, a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Amid honor or dishonor, slander or praise, even when we are treated as deceivers and imposters, we remain steadfast and true. We are unknown nobodies whom everyone knows. We are frequently at death’s door, yet here we are, still alive! We have been severely punished yet not executed. We may suffer, yet in every season we are always found rejoicing. We may be poor, yet we bestow great riches on many. We seem to have nothing, yet in reality we possess all things. My friends at Corinth, our hearts are wide open to you and we speak freely, holding nothing back from you. If there is a block in our relationship, it is not with us, for we carry you in our hearts with great love, yet you still withhold your affections from us. So I speak to you as our children. Make room in your hearts for us as we have done for you.”  2 Corinthians 6:4-13

Today’s Thought 

Whatever season you’re in with God, remember we must make room in our hearts for Him…It’s important to search for God in every season of our lives…Even the difficult seasons are valuable because they reveal God’s faithfulness even more…Embrace the journey and His grace will be sufficient in every season.

Today’s Confession

Lord, you are in my heart in every season of my life…When issues arise that are too difficult for me, your faithfulness will always guide me through…Your grace will sustain me on my journey as you guide me through each season.
