Heart re-CHARGE
Are you looking for a transparent, practical, hope-filled, and encouraging refocus? Do you want to bring support, confidence, and hope to an adult friend or to a pre-teen or teenager you love with a disability or without a disability? Heart re-CHARGE is an interactive devotional book. There is Scripture. There is a prayer. There is an activity. In just 10 minutes or less you can get a whole new outlook on life. Pre- teens, teens, and adults can benefit from this refreshingly authentic and encouraging boost in perspective. Amy Meekins has been diagnosed with a medical syndrome. She was given a bleak prognosis. She did not allow either of these to define her. God’s grace has allowed Amy to find His purpose in life in the midst of challenges. He can do the same for you.
Introduction
Are you wondering if God knows about you? Do you sometimes doubt His love for you?
This book is for you if:
You are struggling.
You are tired.
You are mad.
You feel as if you are being tested.
You are sad.
You are looking for answers.
You are looking for Someone who cares.
You need to know Someone understands.
You need to know that you are not alone.
You want to explore solutions to your questions. You want to find victory.
You want to grow.
You can engage with this book in any way that blesses you.
However, here are some suggestions from me that will help you get going:
● You might want to start out with reading the Bible verse at the beginning of each chapter and taking a minute to think about it.
● Then, read the prayer under the Bible verse. You may find that you also are feeling a similar way.
● Now, you may be ready for YOUR TURN. This is the place where you make this experience YOURS. Get honest with yourself and lean on the God who made you.
What is in YOUR TURN?
Questions.
An invitation to journal.
Quizzes!
Proposals that you practice telling a Bible story. Suggestions to write prayers.
Action steps you can take.
Encouragement to sing.
An appeal to get creative with:
Drawing a picture,
Painting a rock,
Making a bookmark,
Grabbing a friend or a family member and doing a role play, Making a little book,
Using sidewalk chalk,
Working with beads,
Molding something with clay.
In one YOUR TURN, you will learn how to do a demonstration to teach an important truth.
You can do this experience totally alone with God or you can invite a friend to do the book with you. Maybe you will want to use this book as a Bible study Guide for you and a group of people.
Whatever way you chose to use this book, my goal is that you know and love Jesus better in the end.
AMY'S STORY
