《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day One Hundred and Fifty-Nine

Day One Hundred and Fifty-Nine.
Verse: '"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.'"
John 3:16
So the other day I was having a really bad day. I was feeling stressed, depressed, overwhelmed, and in a lot of pain from fibromyalgia. But as my Mom and I are driving home I saw the words: "John 3:16" on a truck. I knew that, that was God talking to me. God was telling me to read and live that verse.
God believes you are worth dying for.
God loves you so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross FOR YOU. Even if it was just you, God chooses you and He loves you (John 3:16). The question is: "Do you believe that God loves you?" I know we hear about how much God loves us but do you know in your heart that God truly loves you? If your answer is no, that's okay.
Okay Caty that sounds great, how do I know that God truly loves me?
Because of all of God's promises, here are some, just to name a few:
God will never leave you. (Hebrews 13:5)
God will comfort you. (Isaiah 49:13)
God will help you and always be there for you. (Psalm 121:1-2)
God is always faithful. (Psalm 33:4)
God keeps His promises. (Deuteronomy 7:9)
God is good. (Psalm 31:19)
God will draw near to you. (Psalm 125:1-2)
You can do all things through Christ. (Phillpians 4:13)
With God on your side, you can do anything! (Matthew 19:26)
God has an amazing plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11)
God is for you and on your side. (Psalm 118:6)

God is all around you. (Psalm 125:1,2)
God never changes. (Hebrews 13:8)
To really understand how much God loves you, you have to spend time seeking God by: reading your Bible, worshiping God, listening to God, and praying to God. You can't understand things if you don't open your Bible and read it. Read every verse there is about how much God loves you. Put notes of Bible verses all around your house. Say each one of God's promises to yourself in the mirror. So as you spend time with God and you will be able to understand His love for you because as you seek God, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2).
So spend time saying these promises in the mirror and seek God then you will be able to understand God's love for you.
Prayer:
Dear God,
I pray that as I spend time reading your word, listening to you, worshiping you, and praying to you that I understand just how much you love me. I pray that as I seek you that you draw close to me. I ask that you grab my hand and help me through life. I ask that you bless me with everything I need to face everyday. I thank you for all of your promises. I praise you for love, grace, and mercy that is never ending.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.

Or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Determined to know more about himself and recover his memories, follow the story of a boy on a quest to reclaim his lost identity in a vast and dangerous world of grand opportunities, malicious individuals and magical intrigue. ---------------------------------- Hello there, this is a story I came up on my own. As an author, I'd like to interact with my community and get ideas and what I can improve on. I'm not perfect and don't expect a masterpiece. I may have a bit of experience writing as a hobby, I make mistakes and my style is a bit rough around the edges. I hope you stick around and watch me build this story up. I don't have a predetermined schedule and the releases will be slow. Since I got college, my schedule is most likely 1-2 chapters a month but that shouldn't be that bad since I get some time to think about what I can write in the story. Again, my apologies for that. I hope I have your support moving forward and that you enjoy the characters and their journies.
