Legacies: First Love Stories Devotional - Day 4

Reading: James 5:13-16

The church in Ephesus demonstrated a powerful authenticity that attracted others to Christ. They created a space where it was "okay to not be okay" - where people could be honest about their struggles and find healing. In contrast, many of us wear masks, hiding our true selves even within the church. Today, reflect on your relationships within your faith community. Are you cultivating authentic connections where you can be vulnerable and real? Consider taking a step towards greater openness with a trusted brother or sister in Christ. Pray for the courage to be honest about your struggles, and for wisdom in creating safe spaces for others to do the same.
