Treasured: • 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him – but God has revealed it to us by his spirit. The spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

• 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him – but God has revealed it to us by his spirit. The spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

NOT ONE of the many smart, observant, capable people that exsist in this world, can mind-read God. It takes us getting past our own abilities to understand things, and depend on Him to show us. Only by searching him, and knowing Him, can He reveal these things to us. Even the incomprehensible deep things of Him.

Am I being proactive about asking God to reveal His mysteries to me? Am I relying too much on my own intellect to understand His ways?

Lord, my deep thing of you that I need your mind about right now is patience. Help me to understand what it really is, what it really looks and acts and feels like. Let me understand your purpose in it. Let me trust your command of it. There’s got to be a reason you listed it as the first attribute of love. Help me find the balance between my own personality and Your thoughts.

I've loved God my whole life and have always known that I was called to serve Him. As a young woman, I went on missions trips, led worship, went to bible studies, all of the things a good Christian girl does. I married a childhood friend from church, and together we served in ministry at a few different churches and started our family. After fourteen years of marriage, in March of 2010, when I was four months pregnant with my fourth child, the beautiful life that I had strived to create, came crashing down. I now find myself, a little more than a year removed from that painful day, divorced, raising and homeschooling four kids on my own, and trying to navigate all that that entails. I have come to realize that everything I thought I knew, I didn't. My story is painful and extreme; marked with a web of betrayal and deception, the stuff of a made-for-TV movie. I didn't expect THIS to be my story, but it is, and God knew it would be. Rather than glorify my story however, my desire is to glorify the amazing God who has been with me every day of my life, even the darkest of days. The God who has comforted me, put me back together, resurrected dreams that I had all but forgotten, and has turned my sadness into joy. My journey of healing is far from over, my heart-break not even a distant memory, but I can see the evidence of something beautiful being created from the ashes of my life. My prayer is that these devotions will encourage you, renew hope within you, remind you of who God is, and help you on your path to healing, as they have me.
