Hello Made to Crave Devotional: Day 6!
"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children." Romans 8:16
Thought of the Day: We are only one good choice away from being back on the path of perseverance. But no matter how far off the path or how long we have been on it, God is patient with us and loves us as a dearly beloved child - part of His family.
It amazes me how God puts things together. Every day I have been reading the Jesus Calling Devotional & the Made to Crave Devotional, today they both supplied several scriptures regarding God's love for us! I didn't even know how much I need to read those today. I didn't have to fight food cravings on Christmas & Christmas Eve, as a matter of fact I did really well with food choices, portions & knowing when I was full!!! I did have to combat an ache in my heart & loneliness. Even as I type this tears are coming to my eyes, because I miss my dad immensely. On Christmas Eve my aunt wanted to take a couple of pictures & it just didn't feel right without him and my grannie there. I knew the holidays would be hard this year, but they were harder than I thought they would be. The funny thing about the loneliness is when that feeling has come on this holiday season I have wanted to retreat & be by myself. I've had to force myself to get out of bed & get ready & go spend that time with family & friends.
I'm grateful for His love! This past week I have been praying & asking the Lord for Him to fill the ache in my heart & that I wouldn't turn to other sources of comfort.
