Today we will take some time for ourselves, something we’re often not very good at doing. The reality is God cares deeply for you before you can do anything for him, and he wants that truth to settle deeply into our hearts today. We will be exploring what it means to have vision for ourselves holistically. How do we set ourselves up for success emotionally, physically and spiritually? The truth is you matter, and it’s my prayer you are strengthened and encouraged today. Our Scripture for today comes from John 10:10, and today's worship is See A Victory by Bethel Music. --   The Songs Tell the Story, the 25 day Advent devotional is perfect for starting on December 1st and ending on Christmas Day!  Each reading only takes a few minutes and the stories behind how these Christmas hymns came to be are sure to make you hear & sing them in a whole new way. You and your family will want to listen to the songs with a newfound appreciation for how God worked to bring such timeless songs into our yearly celebrations of the gift of Christmas. Our hope is that each story reveals more of God’s heart for you in this season and renews your sense of wonder for the birth of our Savior. So make sure to grab your copy at first15.org/advent while it is still available and to ensure you can begin reading it on December 1!
