Proven: Faith That Holds Up Under Pressure

| John 15:8

We’re all trying to prove something: our spot on the team; being captain material; being accepted by our peers; earning success and accolades; even love. We put time and energy into doing all we can to fit into these spaces, but it leaves us exhausted and unfulfilled.

But we don’t have to keep striving to prove our worth; God has proven everything for us through His Son Jesus Christ. We simply receive what has already been done for us. We are proven in Him.

Learn what it looks like to go from living for approval to living from the love of God with this 4-Day Devotional — What Are You Trying to Prove?
