Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional April 8 2022 :
“To get” means to obtain by struggle and effort, but “to receive” means to simply take in what is being offered. Our relationship with God was never intended to be complicated and based upon our own works. The more we learn how to receive from God by faith, the simpler and more enjoyable our walk with Him becomes.
You can keep your relationship with God simple by receiving His unconditional love and believing His Word no matter what you think or how you feel. You can receive by faith all that He offers, even though you know full well that you don’t deserve it. And you can choose to lean on, trust in, and rely on Him to meet every need you have instead of worrying and trying to figure things out.
And with His help (grace), you can obey Him and grow in spiritual maturity by knowing His will and receiving His best for your life!
Prayer Starter: Father, I am tired of getting and am ready to receive from You. Please help me learn to receive, amen.
