BY She Reads Truth
Since 2012, She Reads Truth has maintained a singular mission: to be women in the Word of God every day. Ten years later, our community includes “Shes” from across the globe, but our mission hasn’t changed.
Reading Scripture together is the centerpiece of what we do at She Reads Truth. As we spend time as a community reading This Is The Church, we encourage you to start by reading the daily Scripture on your own. Then join us here to engage and encourage one another as we respond to what we’ve read. Each day for this series, we’ll include a brief summary of the reading along with a prompt for conversation.
As the continuation of Christ’s ministry on earth, the Church acts as salt and light in a decaying and dark world around us.
Discussion Question: What encouragement did you find in this week’s reading?

The wonderful thing about grace is that He isn’t condemning you for the things you’ve done or the distance you’ve gone. He’s ready and waiting for you to come back now. Just turn around and fall into Him again and He will comfort you and receive you. Then go out with new joy and energy that comes from the grace and forgiveness of the Great I Am!

@LAUREN GW: I used to be in the exact same shoe. A season of hurting can bring confusion and also paralyzing our walk. Father Lord God, I pray you will touch Lauren today, bring faith community and support around her to give her momentum to stand up and start moving. Help her to pick up where she left off, restore her broken heart, bandage her wounds, bring deliverance to any areas that need, please carry her so she can continue to walk with you, through the dark valleys to come out to the other side. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.

We are the light off this world, representing Christ. Love others always

10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. – Galatians 6:10. This verse is what stood out to me. We should serve and do good for everyone but especially our family in Christ. If we don’t take care of especially each other it puts us to shame in the world.

So many things stood out to me in today’s reading! One in particular, is that we were given the FREE gift of salvation through Jesus’ sacrifice! We are not called to keep this gift all to ourselves, but to show and help others to accept this gift, so they, too, can reap the reward of eternity in Heaven! A song from my childhood popped in my head reading these verses, and I’m sure y’all know it, too: “this little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine. Hide it under a bushel, no! I’m gonna let it shine.” A song for children, but a message for everyone! Let’s not hide our lights, ladies! Have a great day! ❤️❤️

I honestly feel shamed. I’ve been through a lot in the past few years and it keeps coming. I haven’t done anything overtly awful in response, but I have shrank away from god, not made him a priority, and haven’t glorified him in my life. I’m getting by, doing what I’m “supposed to,” but I’ve lost my saltiness, I’m not a light on a hill, I haven’t been loving my brothers, just focusing on my own pain…
