The Wise Woman Knows: 20 Minutes a Day to a Christ-Centered HomeExemple

## God Loves You, Mama! Step One: Start your time with the Lord by praying for yourself and your family and your day. For example, "Lord, I love you and I want to know You more. Fill me and my family with Your Holy Spirit. Help us to hear Your voice and to follow You wherever You may lead. I commit this day and this devotional time to You. In Jesus' Name, Amen." Step Two: Read the Scriptures and devotional. Write anything that stands out to you in your journal. You are a dearly loved child of God. Let me say that again: YOU are dearly and completely loved. Christ created you and has given you an amazing identity! We all have different gifts and talents, but in the end, we all are rooted and joined together by our identity in Christ. Mama, I want you to think for a moment about your identity in Christ. Ask yourself the following questions and write the answers in your journal: * How does being a Christ-follower define you? * Who does God say that you are? And what does He think about you? One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Philippians 1:6, which says, “being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” He has a “good work,” or in other words, an extraordinary plan, for ALL of us! That is so exciting and encouraging. When the enemy tries to belittle you or condemn you, just remember that verse! My greatest prayer as you read this devotional plan is for you to know the four-dimensional love of Jesus Christ- it's wide and long and high and deep. Friend, Jesus wants so desperately to have a relationship with you and for you to feel His complete affection for and acceptance of you. Remember that you are a treasure and God views you as His precious daughter for whom He gave His life. Step Three: Take five minutes to plan your day. Write down six things you would like to accomplish today. Ask God to help you stay focused by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is so faithful and will help you when you ask! Have a great day, mama!
