Grace for the Journey (Devo)

Scripture:   "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."   —Galatians 6:9 (ESV)

Reflection

Dear Bonus Mom,

You didn’t just marry a partner—you stepped into a calling. One that’s layered with love, complexity, and moments that stretch your heart in ways you never imagined. You may not have been there from the beginning, but you’re here now, sowing seeds of grace, patience, and unconditional love.

Some days feel like uphill battles. You may wrestle with feeling unseen, unsure of your place, or emotionally exhausted from trying to build bridges in a blended family. But hear this: God sees you. He sees every quiet sacrifice, every prayer whispered in the dark, every moment you chose love over resentment.

You are not a second choice in God’s plan. You are a divine appointment.

Encouragement

God didn’t call you to this role without equipping you for it. His grace is sufficient for every awkward moment, every hard conversation, and every tear shed in silence. You are not alone—He walks with you, strengthens you, and delights in your faithfulness.

Even when you feel like you’re sowing into rocky soil, trust that God is working beneath the surface. Your love matters. Your presence matters. You are planting seeds that will bloom in His perfect timing.

Prayer

Father God, thank You for calling me into this sacred role. On the days I feel weary, remind me that You are my strength. Help me to love with Your heart, to speak with Your wisdom, and to rest in Your peace. Let me see the beauty in the journey, even when it’s hard. Thank You for the grace that covers me and the purpose that sustains me. I trust You with this family, this calling, and my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
