Welcome to the CurlyNikki Daily Devotional archive. Each day we share messages of prayer, scripture, and spiritual encouragement to help you hear God’s voice and walk in His presence.
I know you are tired of hearing this. That there’s a reason for the pain. Or a lesson in the breaking. A purpose to the hiding season, the seeming stagnant season. Bamboo looks like nothing for 4 or 5 years, and then it takes off, 80 feet in a week. You have been taken through the dark, your pain, your tears, your sweat, your Love woven into the very soil you are sprouting from, shooting up from.
Without moving them, feel both feet at the same time. Both of your feet, both of my feet, at the same time. Close your eyes if you need to. But become aware of the existence of both feet: the floor or ground beneath them, the tingling, warmth, or vibrations you may feel.
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” -Psalm 139:7-10
I wish you could see yourself the way I see you, without that filter that you’ve acquired, that you’ve built, that you’ve been given, that you suffer.
“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” – Isaiah 43:18-19
How are you? Really? And don’t gloss over this. Don’t rush past it as if I’m just a recording talking into the void, or talking to someone else. I record these for you. I am here for you and only you. I am you. Your other voice. The rest of yourself.
