“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” We hear Jesus’s words and want to respond, but so often we’re too busy, too anxious, too heavily laden to take hold of His invitation. Mornings with Jesus, an annual, 366-day devotional, is your entrée into His world. Jesus will comfort you, and you’ll experience the delight and challenge of knowing Him and living for Him.
In Mornings with Jesus 2016, you can read and reflect on one devotion each day that will encourage you to embrace Jesus’s love, to lay down your worries and walk with Him, and to focus on Him as Redeemer, Friend, and Faithful One. Lifting up their voices in heartfelt gratitude, ten women, including best-selling authors Tricia Goyer and Cynthia Ruchti, consider the character and teachings of Jesus and share how He enriches and empowers them daily and how He wants to do the same for you.
Every day readers will enjoy a Scripture verse, reflection on Jesus’s words, and a “Faith Step” that inspires and challenges.
In just five minutes a day, Mornings with Jesus will help you experience a closer relationship with Jesus. It’s full of inspiring and lasting motivation and spiritual nourishment that fill you with hope and direction.
Suzanne is a writer and speaker whose first published works were for professional nursing journals. She wrote a book of devotions for nurses; followed by The Sheep of His Hand, a book about following Jesus, based on years of caring for and observing her sheep on the family farm in Illinois.
For the last three years, Suzanne has written for Guideposts’ popular devotion series, Mornings with Jesus 2015, 2016, and 2017.
After twenty years as a shepherd and twenty-seven years caring for tiny and sick newborns as an RN and Nurse Practitioner, Suzanne and her husband, Mike, moved to a cabin in the Hiawatha Forest in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where she continues to spin yarns, as well as spin actual yarn from the wool of her beloved sheep. She knits, weaves, and pursues an outdoor lifestyle in the boreal forest near the southern shore of Lake Superior. A pair of loons and the occasional trumpeter swan do their best to distract Suzanne from her writing.
She’s not falling for it.
