Synopsis:

You are loved by a limitless God!
Yet many of us don’t live our everyday lives in that reality. The “rest of us” subconsciously believe half-truths about God and ourselves, sabotaging our lives in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

For the next forty days, spend time every day discovering what life can be like in light of God’s love for you.

Devo for the Rest of Us is designed to increase your knowledge of God and help you establish habits that will keep you connected and growing in your love for him for the rest of your life. If you’re new to faith or coming back to God after some time away, this book will be a perfect fit for your spiritual needs. If your faith is more established, this book will be a challenging refresher on what living for God means. It will deepen your love for God and your commitment to living the life he has for you.

With these devos, you will start your days refreshed and renewed, revived and rejuvenated.

CHAPTER 1

WEEK ONE

Hungry

We sense that something is missing. We're lacking something we know we need.

But many of us struggle to name that longing.

"Daddeeee, I'm hungeeee."

My then three-year-old son was entirely cute and a little annoying. About twenty times a day he would call out from wherever he was in the house.

"Daddeeee, I'm hungeeeee."

"Dawson, you're fine," I would respond. "You ate just a little bit ago. We'll be eating soon. You're fine."

Silence.

"No, Daddeeee. I'm weally hungeeee. I'm starving, Daddeeee."

My son was a bit melodramatic. But, on the other hand, maybe he was on to something.

In fact, what I think he was on to is the human condition. We're hungry. We're all hungry. And I believe what we're hungry for is love. Perfect love.

Ted

Ted sat at the production meeting before our service. Before we talk through the elements of our service, we always recognize and cheer for any new volunteer. That day, Ted was doing a "first serve" running the sound board. He was an ex-hippie from San Francisco who used to run sound for the Grateful Dead.

We cheered for Ted. (Normal.)

He blushed. (Normal.)

He gave a little spee
