Grateful for Love| Short Bible Study Devotionals and Encouragement for Christian Women

God showed His infinite love for us by sending His Son to come and die in our place. Romans 5:8

These verses clearly state that there is not a single one righteous before God apart from Jesus, His Son! Only through a personal relationship with Jesus can we be in right standing with God. Only when we accept by faith what Jesus did for us and receive Him as our Lord and Savior can we be justified before God.🙏🏼

Sin always comes with a price, and physical death cannot be escaped. It comes to each of us, but to the one who has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior it cannot spiritually separate us from our Lord. He has forever removed death’s sting and victory over us. Because of His death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, He has utterly defeated our common enemy, death, once and for all. Today you...

God knew the right time to send Jesus to pay for the sins of mankind. He did what no one else was capable of doing. He being the perfect lamb of God died for the ungodly. Praise God that He did it!!!🙏🏼

God allows trials to come into our lives to help produce endurance and maturity. We should ask God for His wisdom to guide, strengthen and develop us through the things that we suffer🙏🏼

When we confess and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are placed into His body by the Holy Spirit. We are all vital members of His body, and He expects us to live our lives for His glory and work together to represent Him to a lost world! May our lives reflect His love, and draw souls to Jesus to change the world🙏🏼

Jesus is both, God the Son and son of David. Jesus is God in the flesh, who came as as a man - born from the lineage of King David just as promised. Jesus allows us to know Him when we are open and accept Him for who He is - GOD‼️

God wants us to love Him with every passion of our heart, with all the energy of our being, and with every thought that is within us. The Holy Spirit, who is the greatest teacher, can show us how to love in a way that pleases Him! As we fall more and more in love with our LORD, we will find it increasingly easier to love our neighbor as ourselves. His love can and will fill all in all!🙏🏼

“Timing is the Father’s business.” (Acts 1:7 Mssg Bible). I believe as I have asked the Father each year for “one” Word from Him, to help me better focus for the year, He has always provided one. For 2023, the word is “Timing”. God who is eternal, involves Himself in our “chronos” time (i.e. everyday living, our daily life routines lived out in days, months, years). His “kairos” time is God’s appo...

All Scripture is God- breathed (i.e. given by His inspiration and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience and for training in righteousness. God gives us His word so we may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. God has provided what we need for success His way!🙏🏼

God has given us everything through His Son, Jesus, to make our walk with Him successful. Unconfessed sin will darken our path and keep us distant from God. When we confess our sins, He’s faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God forgives the sins we confess.🙏🏼

Wherever any of us may stand - either for, against or in the middle about Christmas, one thing is certain, Jesus Christ came as the greatest gift to the world. He brought His grace of salvation to humankind without cost! Jesus Christ is undisputedly, God’s love gift to all who will receive HIM. If you haven’t already, would you accept HIM now by faith as your Lord and Savior? 🙏🏼

Jesus is the completion - in full - of the Godhead in human, bodily form. He is God in the flesh. And just as Jesus is the fullness of God, in like manner, we the Church, are the fullness of Christ on earth! Let us daily seek to be like HIM🙏🏼

As we learn to pray about everything with thanksgiving to God, He in turn fortifies us with His peace. So much so, that the things that would have tried to make us anxious and fearful are now in God’s crosshairs. He will guide us around or in some cases through them victoriously. This peace He gives - sets us up to think right, and with practice we’ll begin to think more like Him and less like the...

It is a comfort to know that upon Christ’s return, He will come for both those who died believing in Him as well as believers who are alive on earth at His return! While we yet live here, we have the privilege to choose where our forever home will be. The greatest joy we can give our Heavenly Father, is to choose to be with Him forever!🙏🏼🌷

With God, all things are possible. So the antithesis is, without God, ALL things ARE NOT possible. It takes a life fully persuaded that God can and will do whatever He says, and not get “bogged down” with appearances. God supersedes any and all natural occurrences and does what HE does best - and that is - be GOD!🙏🏼

When you and I pray, we should not focus or stress over when the prayer will be answered, but rather focus on what God expects of me in the “waiting.” I believe we should be “actively waiting” by doing the work He’s assigned us. That part never changes even though we may be believing for something else from Him. Remember we don’t get to know the time, that’s His business!🙏🏼

Jesus is our High Priest. He understands all that we go through b/c He has experienced the same, yet He did not sin. In spite of what He went through, He chose to keep His total confidence and focus on our Heavenly Father, who brought Him through each and every trial victoriously! May we follow His example as we are empowered by His Spirit to do the same.🌷🙏🏼

In this passage, Jesus prayed for even those in the future, namely us and all who would ever come to know, trust and follow Him. Jesus loved all of us so much that He made a point of praying for us before facing His arrest and the terrible death of the cross. We are truly loved and blessed‼️🙏🏼🌷

We have been intricately and exquisitely made by our Creator and loving Father! We are constantly in God’s thoughts and He desires you and I to be in an intimate relationship with Him🙏🏼

Blessings can and do come in all shapes and sizes. Don’t be neglectful of any, but be thankful to our Heavenly Father for each and every one of them‼️🙌🏼🙌🏼🫶🏽

God is all knowing, all powerful and everywhere all at the same time. He intimately knows and cares for each of us, even before we were born! How could we ever turn away from such a love like that?💕

Because we have chosen to dwell in the shelter of the most High, and love Him, He has promised to always be where we are. He will deliver us from trouble, rescue and honor us with a long and satisfying life. God is determined to bless us to the “nth” degree🙏🏼

God knows the plans He has for us, and they don’t change even when we disobey Him. Even then He wants to prosper and not harm us -to give us hope and a future.🌷

God’s Word is perfect in every way. It makes us joyful and challenges us to keep close to His heart! The rarest treasures of life are found in God’s Word. May the words of our mouths and every movement of our hearts be pleasing, acceptable and pure before HIM🌷
