There’s no doubt that we gravitate to the promises of God. The side we don’t like is the side of struggle when following Jesus. Walking and living for Jesus will bring both great and difficult times. Jesus warns us about these days and the way people will respond to us because of how they respond to Him. Take heart – Jesus hasn’t left us alone– we have the Holy Spirit!

There is possibly no more carefully navigated response than to the question “How Ya Feeling?” We long for and loath this question because we must either remain at the surface or expose what lies beneath. Jesus reminds us that to feel is to be human; to feel is to walk through valleys and mountains; to feel is to imitate Christ. Learn to properly engage your emotions to be like Christ.

Where is real life found? The Bible tells us that we find it abiding in Christ. In this fourth devotional plan from the Real Life series, we are invited to know what it is to have friendship with God. By walking in friendship with Jesus Christ we will receive the love the Father has for us—Agape love. God chose to love us and His love bears a lasting legacy.

Imagine meeting Jesus face-to-face. What questions would you ask Him? In this six-day reading plan, meet women from the Bible who encountered Jesus face-to-face. Find out how Jesus answers relevant questions such as, “Will Jesus forgive me?” or “Will Jesus acknowledge my suffering?” and how He offers hope to each woman in the midst of her circumstances.

As Jesus considered His last remaining moments with His disciples before His crucifixion, He made sure they knew everything that was most important for the uncertain future they were walking into. In John 15, Jesus reminded His disciples that they were created for connection—with God and one another. For them to thrive after His death, they were going to need to learn to "be the branch."

Missionaries, pastors, and the average Christian will encounter suffering in their lives and the lives of those they love and serve. This devotion is designed to look at real-life stories illustrating how God uses suffering to teach, guide and mold us to be more like Jesus. By God’s grace, we can glorify God as we embrace suffering in our lives, knowing that Jesus willingly laid down His life for us.
