2 Mga Taga-Corinto 12:9

The Bible is a book of redemption, freedom, and hope. Within its pages are characters dynamic and full of grit—broken men and women looking for answers. In a way, they’re a lot like the current and former prisoners who authored the devotionals you’re about to read. We hope you are encouraged and inspired by voices from the church behind bars. May their testimony set us all free.

何年も試練が続く生活を送っている。 昔は小さな恵みに感謝しながら、なんとか乗り越えてこれたけれど、 今は心から満たされることが少なくなり、少しずつ疲れがたまっていって── 気づけば、神様から離れ始めている自分がいる。 御言葉を開こうとしても、「また同じことの繰り返しなんじゃないか」と、どこかで諦めてしまいそうになっていませんか？ 今回のデボーションでは、3つのポイントを一つずつ、一緒に見ていきましょう。 (1) 試練にはおわりがあるの？ (2) なぜ喜びだけの人生を与えてくれないの？ (3) 改めて、「逃れる道」とは何か？

With so many voices telling us who to be, it’s no wonder we struggle with where to place our identity. God doesn’t want us to be defined by our career, marital status, or mistakes. He wants His opinion to be the highest authority in our lives. This six-day plan will help you internalize what the Bible says about who you are and truly embrace your identity in Christ.

Taken from Kyle Idleman's follow-up to "Not A Fan," you're invited to find the end of yourself, because only then can you embrace the inside-out ways of Jesus.
