No matter how long we’ve been Christians, God can’t fully be Father to us until we fully grab onto what it is to be His sons and daughters — children who are intimate and trusting and obedient and bursting with honoring affection for their Daddy.

Good Friday. The terror and the intimacy of that blood-stained cross. Despair and hope shaken together in the defining moment of all time.

Are you choosing to listen to His voice during the noise of a busy year? Are you still celebrating creation despite everything going on around us? Are you living with fear or by faith in His strength and hope? Be encouraged in your faith in God's power and invincibility with a fresh look at God's majesty, artistry, and goodness.

If you are in a dark season of unanswered prayer, sad or angry or concerned because of situations in the world around you, or unsure how to express your frustration or disappointment to God… lament is for you. Bring whatever is inside you to the Lord, no matter how it comes out.

Every one of us carries an intrinsic question, coupled with a profound, instinctive desire to be fully reconciled with our Creator: What can I do to be right with God? The answer to this timeless question has been debated endlessly. This devotion explores the biblical concept of justification and reveals the powerful truth of God's amazing grace.
