I’ve mentioned off and on that I’ve recently rediscovered my faith and therefore, spend quite a bit of time reading up on being a Christian, getting inspired by others’ faith and learning as much as I can to lead a faith-filled, intentional life.

Naturally, I was keen to sign up for the Litfuse Blog Tour of Mornings with Jesus 2012: Daily Encouragement for the Soul. A daily devotional compiled by the warm, compassionate and friendly voices of 7 incredible women, the message for each day inspires me to pause, reflect and come closer to Jesus and his teachings.

Starting Your Day Right

I’m a firm believer in starting the day on the right foot to set the tone for the entire day. Mornings with Jesus has quickly become a part of my morning routine of prayer and meditation.

Each devotion includes a Scripture verse to guide you, a personal and insightful reflection on the words of that verse and a Faith Step that inspires you to act and embrace that verse fully in your life.

Practical Inspiration for Positive Days

The reflections in Mornings with Jesus have been shared by women who, like us, are moms, wives, daughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, professionals, entrepreneurs and most importantly, women who understand what other women go through.

The guilt, the envy, the tiredness, the despair, the joys, the compassion, the peace. You’ll find reflections that touch upon every aspect of living our many roles on a day-to-day basis.

The fact that these are passages by women who go through days just like ours helps to uplift and inspire us even more.

Words That Resonate With You

While I am certainly not through the whole book, since I am reading a passage a day as intended, there are several passages and verses that have struck a chord with me and I have to share them with you:

From Monday, January 30

“You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are – no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.” Matthew 5:5 (MSG) with the accompanying Faith Step, “In which areas of your life do you experience the most discontentment? What would it take for you to be content?” In the same devotion, writer Keri Wyatt Kent shares how while she is content in many areas, in others the “contentment is incomplete”. She writes, “ Everything in our culture pushes against the value of contentment.” I can so relate to that. Can you?

From Thursday, February 9

“God, who said, ‘Let there be light in the darkness,’ has made this light shine in our hearts so we could have the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:6 (NLT) with Erin Keeley Marshall reflecting, “Perspective is a powerful thing, isn’t it? For good or bad, we choose how we see the world.” Wow!
