During my walk the last 26 years I\u2019ve gotten to know Him on a personal level.  I\u2019ve served alongside Him during outreaches and speak to Him every day.  I continue to study the word to understand more fully what my role is and more about my beloved savior.  I know that I\u2019m saved and one day I\u2019ll be with Him forever, but one thing that I struggle with is how can He love me that much?  I guess I\u2019ll have to wait for the answer when I see Him face to face.<\/p>\n<p>Application: I know Jesus and the Holy Spirit is with me every day.  There is so much going around these days and it\u2019s hard not to get caught up in all the evil that is happening around me.  I need to live my life focused on my Lord and to be in God\u2019s will every day.  I\u2019m called to be a light and I can\u2019t do that if my attention is drawn away from my purpose here.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer Dear Lord thank you for loving me.  Please continue to use me as You desire and that You will help me be focused on You.  I know I\u2019ll only be here for a short while until it\u2019s time to go home.  Help me be that faithful servant You desire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture John 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.\u201d Observation: When I was first saved, I asked for Jesus to come into my life, but didn\u2019t really &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7668,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-devotional"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7667"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7669,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7667\/revisions\/7669"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gettingoverdepression.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
