1 A̱korontiyawa 3:16

“Different…why can’t they see it’s hard to be different.” This devotion explores our identity, purpose, and strength in Christ. Be encouraged that God LOVES differences and variety, and that these are actually gifts. Stand your ground, be proud of who you’ll become, and don’t ever run or hide from who you really are.

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. A temple is a place where God is honored and worshipped. Do you honor the Holy Spirit within you? If you are not consciously unaware of it, have you despised it without knowing it? I invite you in this plan to meet the Holy Spirit to grasp this truth.

You never have to pretend with God. He knows you intimately and has given you a role only you can fill. As you spend time with God, allow Him to take you deeper, to shape you into the person and friend He created you to be. Do not fear, simply listen to His voice. Through this four-day plan from Rush via Gather Ministries, commit to discovering your true identity.

So much about our work has changed and will continue to change in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. How should Christ-followers be thinking differently about these changes? That’s the question I invite you to think through with me in this four-day plan.
