The One Who Nurtures Wholeness

Today’s Reflection

When God puts a “finger” on those things in our lives that are inconsistent with God’s will for our wholeness, it is not simply to point them out. . . .That finger has a hand attached that offers us the nurture into wholeness.

Today’s Question

Has God ever pointed something out within you that was keeping you from receiving wholeness in life?

Today’s Scripture

He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NRSVUE)

Prayer for the Week

God, I rest in your word. I chew on it slowly. Thoughtfully. Contemplatively. So I can plumb the depths of all that you have to say. I trust that as I digest your word you are at work. Amen.
