Serenity
Meditations of Acceptance, Courage, and Wisdom (365 Daily Devotions)By Mike Shea
Length8h 46m
About this audiobook
God wants to take us on a pilgrimage to a place where hopelessness is replaced by hope, and death is traded for life. In this 365 day devotional, we read how words spoken from hurt and emotion can become words spoken from respect and wisdom, darkness is exchanged for God's light, depression is substituted for action and service, and addiction is swapped for recovery. We climb into Jesus' lap to find rest and peace simply because we can.
The meditations are our story. An imperfect journey, by imperfect people, into the loving arms of the Father. We have been saved by the blood of Jesus and encouraged by the Holy Spirit to continue the recovery journey on his way, not ours. Serenity is possible, because all things are possible for those who believe in Christ Jesus.
