From the author of Third Person: 30 Days with the Holy Spirit comes a unique devotional experience. Come to Me stands out with messages from one particular passage, Matthew 11:28-30.
It is an invitation by Jesus to those who are hurting, with a promise to bring hope, soul-level rest, and a new vision of wholeness to those experiencing the wounds of life.
Jesus meets us right where we are, and through this collection of personal reflections, time-tested spiritual practices, and new ways to imagine God working, you can find the healing from the hurt you long for.
We all hurt. That's just one of the many feelings our bodies are programmed to feel. I'm sure God knew what He was doing when He made us. I mean, I know there has to be a really good reason; only, I just wish God had programmed us without that one extra feeling - pain. I know that would be ridiculous but sometimes we get to the bottom of the stairs and can't seem to get up and put that one foot in front of the other and begin to heal. This is where Come To Me: A Devotional for Healing From Hurt by Amy W. Vogel comes to our rescue.
At the beginning of the book, Vogel explains that for the sake of clarity she's going to refer to Jesus as He, but for God, since no one knows if God even has a gender, He will be referred to as They. Now, I'm all against this pronoun thing - a girl is a girl is a girl and a boy is a boy is a boy. But referring to God as 'They" just makes sense, so she headed me in the right direction with that one.
So, this is a 30 day book and each chapter (day) ends with a prayer and a healing step which I thought was very innovative and helpful. Vogel is so on point. A beautiful devotional that will be timeless.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and give it 5 gold stars!
