ትንቢተ ኢሳይያስ 54:4

Overcoming the shame of rejection requires getting to the root of the lie you believed when you were forsaken and hurt. The Lord loves you, and He still has a 'good' plan for your life, but you won't experience the good if you keep living and loathing in shame. God wants to heal your shame and give you His Joy in exchange for sorrow. Will you trust Him?

Some people are lost in the fire, and others are built from it. When life hits you unexpectedly, it can seem difficult to trust God. Difficult, however, is not impossible. Check out the stories of everyday people who chose to have faith in trying times, and experienced God in extraordinary ways. Be encouraged that similarly, He's moving on your behalf as well.

If you feel lost and alone at times as a single mom, empty nester, widow… or sad because you never married, are divorced, and/or have been bedazzled, then abandoned by unavailable men… God has good news! You’re seen, known, and passionately loved. Found. Your Maker calls you to a honeymoon in the desert where He promises roses for ashes and you’ll sing like a new bride.

The Enneagram is an ancient personality typology. The theory behind it is that a person assumes one of nine personalities in childhood as a reaction to discovering the world as a scary, unkind place, and thus unlikely to accept their true self. This devotional is designed for Enneagram Fours, also known as the Individualist.
