In exchange for my review I was given a free copy of Henri J. M. Nouwen’s book You Are The Beloved by Blogging for Books. The opinions I express are my own and I was not influenced.
In several books I have read Henri J.M. Nouwen quotes and I thought I would like to read him some day. I finally got the chance with You Are The Beloved: Daily Meditations For Spiritual Living. This devotional is awesome and guides me toward the kind of day and person I want to be. The devotionals I have read dives deep into your soul and your relationship with God. I feel soothed, inspired, and loved. This week I am physically hurting and I have been tempted to allow the negative part of me to take over. After reading Nouwen I felt God’s loving balm on my body, soul, and spirit. I believe that is why God tells us to dive deep into his words so we can be strengthened and have a life full of love even during the challenging parts of our lives.
I recommend this devotional to all of us with chronic illnesses and even those just need to be reminded of Gods deep love for us.
