Don’t let me be put to shame
because I take refuge in you.
JOHN 14:19 (CEB)
Jesus: Because I live, you will live too.
THE ESSENCE
Our identity and future is tied to what Jesus does.
DAILY FODDER
How does tying our lives to what Jesus does throttle our personal ambition? How does it feed ambition?
PRAYER
Jesus, thank you for being the God of restoration from our shame, pain, and circumstances. I can become paralyzed in my embarrassment. You come beside me and help me to see beyond pain and death into new life in you. As I lean into the resurrected life with you, may it inspire those struggling today. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
