Dwell – Day 1
Ladies – welcome to our Dwell 2024 devotional series!
This 30-day devotional series has been written by women right here at Crosspoint. Our hope is that through their voices and stories to help you find shared experiences and connections and that the Lord will use these moments to draw you closer to Him. These devotionals will be sent to you each day via a text message.
Over the next 30 days, we will explore four themes: hope, peace, love & joy. And all along the way, we will stay focused on the phrase “because of Jesus, I am….”
These truths anchor our identity and remind us of the richness of life when walking closely with the Lord.
Because of Jesus, I am loved.
His love for us is constant and unwavering, grounding us in the truth that we are fully known and cherished.
Romans 5:8, NIV
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
This sacrificial love gives us the security to live boldly, knowing our worth is already established in Him.
Because of Jesus, I am hopeful.
No matter the challenges or unknowns, we can look to the future with hope because our lives are held in His hands.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
His promises are our foundation, and we can rest assured that He is at work in every situation.
Because of Jesus, I am joyful.
His presence brings a joy that goes beyond our circumstances and fills us with strength.
Nehemiah 8:10
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
This joy is a deep, abiding sense of gladness in knowing we belong to Him.
Because of Jesus, I am at peace.
In a world filled with anxiety and restlessness, He gives us the gift of true peace.
Philippians 4:7
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
This peace reassures us that He is in control, no matter what we face.
Guided Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for filling my life with Your love, hope, joy, and peace. Help me to remember each day that I am held by Your promises and cherished by You. Let Your love be my confidence, Your hope be my anchor, Your joy be my strength, and Your peace be my rest. Guide me to live in the fullness of who I am because of You.
In Your name, Amen.
