Mateus 26:11

Raising up sons and daughters to serve like Martha with hearts like Mary.

Are you tired of striving for success and your glory? It's exhausting and not nearly as fulfilling as you thought. These four devotions will help you shift your mind and heart to know that God can do more with your surrender than your performance. Take the journey from chasing glory, to reflecting God's lasting glory.

At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

I pray you will find hope in these brief devotionals—a whisper from God that even in your deepest sorrow, He is near.
