🟣 Sunday — Receive Before You Produce

Truth:

You are formed more by what you receive than by what you accomplish.

Grace comes before effort.

Micro‑Teaching:

We often approach spiritual life as something we generate—discipline, insight, consistency. But formation begins with reception, not production. Scripture places rest, blessing, and belovedness before assignment. When we forget this order, we turn formation into performance. God’s work in you deepens when you allow yourself to receive what you did not earn and cannot control.

Practice (Today):

Set aside a brief moment today to stop striving.

Sit without an agenda—no fixing, no planning, no proving.

Simply pray:

“I receive what You freely give.”

Let that be your practice.

Reflection:

Where have you been trying to earn what God offers freely?

What changes when you allow yourself to receive before you act?

Word of the Day (teaser):

Grace — the unearned gift that forms you before you lift a finger.
