The Daily CHEW™
Moving God’s Love From Head to Heart for Christian Professionals
There are conversations you walk out of feeling ten feet tall, and others that shrink you in seconds. A single phrase from a client, board member, or congregant can feel heavier than a year of faithfulness. The body knows it—you feel it in your chest, your stomach, your jaw.
Clarity: The tension is not just feedback. It is the temptation to let this one voice become the verdict on who you are.
Hear: Scripture says, “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” (1 John 3:1, ESV) God’s love does not wait for the room’s approval before naming you. In Christ, your identity is declared by the One who knows every conversation you will ever have.
Exchange: If I really believed God’s love has already named me His child before I walk into any room, how would that change what I’m feeling and what I’m believing about God, myself, and others when their words land hard?
Walk (30–90 seconds): Think of the last conversation that still stings. Take 60 seconds to say out loud: “Father, You have already named me Your child. This comment is not my verdict.” Then ask God for one specific way to respond—clarify, apologize, or let it go—from that secure identity. If this is the only thing you do from this CHEW today, it is enough.
With you on the journey,
