Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha, (which translated into Greek means Dorcas). She was rich in acts of kindness and charity which she continually did. During that time it happened that she became sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upstairs room. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Come to us without delay.” So Peter got up [at once] and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upstairs room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing [him] all the tunics and robes that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.

Jesus has power over death, and because of what he did for you, including rising from the dead on Easter Sunday, death has no power over you either. This video series relays many of the stories from the Bible where God interrupted death and brought life.
In this four-part devotional, Lenya Heitzig pairs women of the New Testament with the wildflowers they represent. Dorcas the Daisy is a five-day reading plan about a woman who spread joy through "good works and charitable deeds" (Acts 9:36). She is the only woman in the Bible called "disciple" and the only woman who resurrected.
"What will they think?" is a question that often stops women from doing what we feel called to do. But as we look at the women in the Bible, we see they weren’t picture-perfect “cool girls”; they were regular women who trusted God and chose to follow Him. This devotional shows you that life is about more than being liked. It’s about living for God and boldly walking with Him.
More so than at any other time in history, it is easy to get a message to someone. We can pick up a phone, and a few taps later, someone can know where we are, see a picture of us, or know what we want for dinner! Only the most important messages stand the test of time.
