Embraced: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Embraced" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Embraced is the beautiful new devotional from Lysa TerKeurst, the president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the New York Times bestselling author of Uninvited, The Best Yes, Unglued, and Made to Crave. Embraced features 100 devotions that will resonate with women in all stages of life by giving them a godly perspective on the issues they face each day. A real embrace indicates an intimate level of closeness. Its not a high five or a casual handshake. The best kind of embrace is when someone we know deeply loves us flings their arms wide open and pulls us in close. Our hearts were made for this kind of love and security but for many of us, we know more about the pain of heartbreak and fear than the unconditional love for which we were created.In Embraced, Lysa shares her own struggles, doubts, and heartbreaks while pointing to the Ultimate Embrace: God opening His arms wide on Calvary through Jesus so that He could pull us close for all of eternity. Welcoming us into the safety and hope of His grace and His love. And because we have been fully embraced by Him, we can spend our lives held securely by Him and trust all of His ways. Through these 100 devotions, daily scriptures, and prayer prompts, readers will be equipped to: Begin to find freedom from the struggles that have held them hostage by learning new ways to experience Gods love and more authentic ways to trust Him. Surrender their deepest hurts by processing them in a godly way with Lysa, a friend who understands their pain. Hear the Lord speak intimately to their heart by learning how to seek His direction. Release the tension of wondering, If God is near why does He sometimes feel far away? by spending intentional, guided time with Him each day. With an exquisite cloth cover, highly designed interior, ribbon marker, and stained page edges, Embraced will be a treasured keepsake for you as well as a meaningful gift for those you love.

To anyone who has ever tried to give love without being embraced in return, I understand. But thats exactly why we must know the One who will always fully embrace us and never hold back. My greatest prayer is that as you read these pages youll know even more deeply that you are loved, cherished, and so intimately cared for by your Heavenly Father.

C ONTENTS

Hi friend,

What an honor it is to meet with you through the typed-out encouragement found in these pages. I want to be that friend who comes alongside you no matter what situation you may find yourself in. I pray you feel the loving embrace of Jesus become more and more real with the turn of every page.

I know its not always easy for Gods voice to rise above all the chaotic noise competing for your hearts attention. The fears. The worries. The hurts and betrayals. The struggle youve begged God to take away thats screaming at you right this very minute. The seemingly easy and perfect lives others post about that pierce your heart with fresh reminders of your hard realities. Your doubts when you have to make a decision that makes almost every path seem increasingly unstable while the Lord seems shockingly quiet. Your secret sorrows that you havent dared whisper to anyone else about.

Your imperfections feel like neon signs welcoming others judgments and opinions. Maybe they are real rejections or just simply perceived ones. Either way, every insecure thought is laced with toxic comparison, disappointment, and discouragement.

I know each of these scenarios well because I face them too. And I have to confess that none of this is easy. But the Lord has been so faithful to draw me closer through it all. I think we underestimate how much courage it takes to actually release our desire to fix everything and make the choice to fix our eyes on Jesus.

Thats what these devotions are about. Theyre a glimpse into my own personal journey as Ive set out to live the embraced life. One where I not only receive His embrace, but I return His embrace. Embracing His grace, His wisdom, and His rest. Embracing His love, His Word, and His plans. Even embracing the parts of His plan that I find horribly difficult in the moment but completely necessary in the end. Parts that ask me to sacrifice and lay down my own desires and fleshly responses.

Youll quickly realize that I dont do any of this perfectly. But Im making imperfect progress toward living embraced and embracing at the same time. And something tells me this is how you want to live as well.

If thats true for you, youre in the right place. Rest assured, Ill have tissues and a whispered Me too for the hard moments. But you can also count on me for a laugh, slight eye roll, and a have mercy for the other everyday moments well face.

So if youre ready to start this journey, lets link arms. Fix our gaze on the only One who can direct our steps. And turn the page together.

Sweet Blessings,

Embracing the Pursuit of Him and His Direction

G IVING M Y F IRST M OMENTS TO G OD

Teach me your way, L ORD ,

that I may rely on your faithfulness;

give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name.

P SALM 86:11

I t is very early in the morning. Though my body begs me to go back to sleep, my soul stirs to get up and talk with Jesus.

And though I cant physically see Him, I know He is present.

I open my Bible to the book of Psalms and pray through the verses I read to start my day. The more I do this, the less I hear the ongoing naggings of this world. A beautiful melody of Gods truth rises up, and my worries fade in their light.

His perspective on what troubles me overshadows my anxiety. This time alone with God prepares me for what I will need throughout the day. Hes equipping me to handle what is ahead with His gentle boldness, quiet strength, and loving grace.

In Psalm 81:10, God instructs me, Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.

He will give me what to say. What to say in happy moments and in aggravating moments. What to say when I feel insecure and what to say when I am confident.
