W – Wonder
What or who are the roses in this season of your life?
A – Activate
Ask God how you can partner with him to creatively show someone your love for them this week. Then, make a plan to do it!
Y – Yield
God sees your pain. He sees when your heart breaks. He sees the questions you ask. He sees the memories that flash into your mind. He sees the longings. He sees it all. And he loves to comfort you. He loves to comfort his children. He is so wrapped up in every detail of your life. He treasures your thoughts. He loves to plant surprises throughout your day. And he loves to partner with you to bring hope to others. This week, my prayer for you is that you would look for the roses. I have a feeling God has hidden a few for you, too.
