    Today's scripture passage:
    Colossians 1:15-23 (NIV)
    The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
    Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

    When You Need a Reminder That Jesus Loves You | Breathe & Receive | 59

    Settle into this relaxing centering prayer as you take some deep breaths and focus on the truth that the Creator of the universe loves YOU. It's such a profound idea that it can be hard to wrap our heads around. So I invite you to sit with that thought and chew it over. Life is so much better when you really know you're loved by Jesus. 
     
    Ephesians 5:2 (ESV)And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

    Today's scripture is Song of Songs 5:10-16 (NIV)
    My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
        outstanding among ten thousand.
    His head is purest gold;
        his hair is wavy
        and black as a raven.
    His eyes are like doves
        by the water streams,
    washed in milk,
        mounted like jewels.
    His cheeks are like beds of spice
        yielding perfume.
    His lips are like lilies
        dripping with myrrh.
    His arms are rods of gold
        set with topaz.
    His body is like polished ivory
        decorated with lapis lazuli.
    His legs are pillars of marble
        set on bases of pure gold.
    His appearance is like Lebanon,
        choice as its cedars.
    His mouth is sweetness itself;
        he is altogether lovely.
    This is my beloved, this is my friend,
        daughters of Jerusalem.

So grateful for this podcast!

I am thankful for this podcast to help me ground myself in the Word and God’s truth every day. It’s a great resource to pick up when I’m feeling anxious, overwhelmed, tired or confused. It helps put my eyes back on Jesus! Mostly thankful for the practical and very applicable topics she chooses to focus on. As a mom of young kids, it takes the “work” out of thinking through how to rest well and allows me to just turn an episode on and be blessed by her thoughtful guidance. Please keep up the podcast! It’s a HUGE blessing to me!
