While I don’t know what it’s like to be married, I want to someday. There’s nothing like unconditional love, and there’s a reason that God calls the church His bride (2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:22-33; Revelation 19:7). It’s a whole life ahead with the knowledge that as you are following after Christ, you have someone…Read more

Day 15: You Are Armored
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the…Read more
Day 14: You Are Here
Maybe it’s just me, but there are times when where I am at is the last place I want to be. This goes for life, moments, places, thoughts. And somehow, you don’t even realize how you got to where you are. It’s like you wandered to a situation, stumbled upon the present. If you’re like…Read more
Day 13: You Are Transformed
I often look back at the moment I decided to give my life to Christ. Two years before this memory, on January 6 back in 2007, in a park that was dark and cold… Kyli (my twin) had accepted Jesus four days before and she seemed so different to me after that night when I…Read more
Day 12: You Are Commissioned
“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And…Read more
Day 11: You Are Comforted
Well, well, well! It’s day three of my three-part series on suffering! I didn’t mean to, but it sort of just happened. Comfort. When I think of this word, I envision a sanctuary with a gentle breeze; I feel the warmth of my favorite blanket at my grandparents’ house and the pillow I have carried…Read more
Day 10: You Are Anchored
I know that yesterday’s devotional on suffering was long and even a hard one for me retype up from early February. The sin that is in this world is oppressive and we cannot escape it. But at the same time, we have hope. “When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one…Read more
Day 9: You Are Suffering
The times that we are in right now are for sure proof that we are indeed suffering, not necessarily ailing in sickness (hopefully not, but possibly so), but in spirit and emotion. Many people I have been talking to (many of whom are college students) are missing their daily routines, favorite places to study, the…Read more
Day 8: You Are Light
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that…Read more
Day 7: You Are Salt
In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus tells us, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot” (Matthew 5:13, NIV). Over the years, I have always thought that it…Read more
