Get the appOne: Lent Devotional Sample
Meeting my maker
In a world where we can add filters to our photos, share curated, highlight reels of our lives, and present the best version of ourselves to others, this verse reminds me that we cannot hide from our omnipresent Creator. To be honest, that can sometimes be a frightening and uncomfortable thought.
But this verse also delivers a freeing truth: God knows every corner of our hearts and being – even the dark depths we want to keep hidden in shame. He knows us intimately and yet still fully delights in me, in you!
Since we were so carefully and intentionally created, we each have a valuable role to play, flaws and all, in advancing his kingdom. Every task – whether big or small, seen or unseen, or insignificant – ultimately contributes to a much bigger purpose, which you are also part of.
Prayer:
Loving God, thank you for this wonderful truth. Help me to invest my whole being in it, so that everything I do will flow from it. Amen.

About this Plan
When we look around at the world today, we can see an awful lot of division and disconnection. Yet there is hope. A deep and thrilling hope. When we realize that we are one in Christ, everything changes. When we embrace togetherness – unity with creation, with each other, and with God – extraordinary things can happen. As you read this devotional, we pray you have a blessed Lent.
