SALMOS 147:19-20

God’s desire for us is to see ourselves and others the way the He sees us. “Beloved” isn’t a badge to earn, or a gift to withhold from others. It’s our identity, it’s our name, and it’s the strength we need for the journey. It’s time to own our belovedness. Join Sarah Kroger on a five-day journey of unpacking what it means to truly live as beloved children of God.

Life is full of uncertainties, challenges, and moments of restlessness. But in the midst of it all, God offers us His perfect peace. Each day, you’ll explore a different Psalm that speaks to God’s presence, protection, and unfailing love. You'll be reminded that no matter what you face, God is your refuge, your guide, and your peace. Let the Psalms quiet your soul and fill your heart with His presence.

The Gospel of John shows us who Jesus is. In chapter 4, we read how Jesus reveals Himself in a conversation with a Samaritan woman at a well. This story contains many lessons for us. John has written it down for us, “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31)
