We want to hear from you!

It makes us so excited as we keep hearing from so many girls, young women, and women who are doing the Summer Devotions Challenge!!! We know the Lord is revealing Himself and working in mighty ways among us.

We would love to hear what the Lord has been showing you as you are seeking Him this summer! Please send us your testimonies at lovingthelordministries@gmail.com! We hope to post as many testimonies as possible on the blog in the days to come.

A Bigger Picture of God

Recently in my devotions, I was reading in Luke about the birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1). It tells about the miracle the Lord performed in bringing about John’s birth... It is an amazing record of God’s incredible work in preparing the way for Jesus to come and there is so much in this chapter. (I encourage you to read it for yourself!)

As I was reading it this time, this is what really stood out to me - The people who knew Zacharias and Elisabeth (John’s parents) marveled at what the Lord had done in their lives. Everyone who knew them had a bigger picture of God as a result of what they saw Him do in their lives.

It can be the same with our lives! God wants to show those around you and the world Who He is, what He can do, and cause them to marvel.

To do this - “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

We must do this - “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

The key is that we are seeking Him, walking in obedience to Him, and allowing Him to work in and through our lives. (Luke 1:6)

As we do this, not only will we have the treasure of knowing Him more, but He will give the world a bigger picture of Who He is through our lives!

Embrace the beauty of today


Embrace the beauty of this day. This is a day that the Lord has given you to live, breathe, know Him, and walk in His perfect plan for you.

Psalms 118:24, "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
