You don’t have to believe every thought that passes through your mind.

So many of us wrestle with negativity, doubt, and the feeling that we’re not enough. But the truest thing about you is what God says about you.

This week’s Monday Devotional from Robin Kite is about renewing your mind and learning to speak truth over your life.

What would change if you started believing God’s truth instead of the lies?

In Greek, the word for God’s love is agape. This is the love that moved God to send His Son to redeem the world, a love with depth and meaning that never fades. In Hebrew, the word for love is ahavah, which comes from a root meaning to give. To love is to give.

No matter the language or definition, love is more than a feeling. Love is an action. Love is giving. Love is a connection.

Are you facing a situation right now where you honestly do not see a way out? The stress at work feels unmanageable. Maybe your marriage feels heavy or distant.

Perhaps you are worried about your children and the choices they are making. Maybe you are exhausted from trying to feel better, and nothing has changed.

No matter what your present circumstance is, no matter how hard it feels or how blocked the path looks, there is still a way forward.

Looking back on our past can sometimes make us miserable. Our minds have a way of waving red flags over the most challenging moments, replaying the hurt and pain until it feels like our entire story is made up of suffering. When that happens, it’s easy to believe that our past was all painful and had no purpose.

But that isn’t true. When we allow ourselves to look again, we can begin to see everything God has done to carry us through the hard seasons, and we can remember the good moments just as clearly.

God did not design you to do life alone. He wants you surrounded by encouragement, love, and support. He wants you to truly live your life to the fullest, not just survive it.

The same power that lives in Jesus lives in you. That truth alone can change everything.

What do you do when you genuinely do not know what decision to make, when you are unsure which path to take? Adulting can be challenging with the little things, and it feels even heavier when you are facing a big, life-changing decision.

Do you ever feel like God is not there or like your prayers are not reaching Him? I want you to know you are not alone. I wrestled with those same thoughts for a long time, and they created a quiet insecurity in my heart. I felt disconnected, unloved, unworthy, and unseen. If you are reading this, there is a good chance you can relate.
