Devotion on Perfectionism, God's Grace, 2 Corinthians 12:9. 1 page.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me (2 Corinthians 12:9).

"I think most women can say that we’ve struggled with perfectionism at one time or another."

Fighting Perfectionism with God’s Grace

Devotion on Relationship with Others, Spiritual Gifts, Diversity, 1 Peter 4:10. 

As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace … (1 Peter 4:10).

Each time a new group of women gather together for Bible studies, meetings, or service projects, a unique tapestry is created. Every woman is created by God with unique gifts and talents, personality, strengths, and weaknesses. When we are woven together as sisters in Christ, we strengthen each other. Woven fabric is stronger than individual threads. The beauty of each individual is enhanced by the overall pattern. We are strong and effective when we support each other, appreciating and encouraging women to use their gifts and talents to serve.

I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well (2 Timothy 1:5).

Devotion on Vocation, Ephesians 4:4–6. 

There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called  to the one hope that belongs to your call — one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all (Ephesians 4:4–6).

The church loves to ask young people, “Where is God calling you?” This seemingly simple question of vocation can elicit a wide range of emotions, from insecurity to confidence in your current career.

Devotion on Witnessing, Galatians 6:9. 

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).

Reflecting on the beauty of the harvest season, there is also the reminder that just as the days are growing shorter, so too is the time before the Lord of the harvest will return to gather to Him all of His believers.

Devotion on Joyful, Service, Relationship with God, Psalm 100:2. 1 page.

Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing (Psalm 100:2)! 

This invitation from the psalmist is something that often gets forgotten in the rush of our daily lives. When this happens we let our human feelings of guilt, frustration, obligation, and weariness deprive ourselves of the gladness God wants us to have and enjoy.
