Has YouVersion helped you find intimacy with God?

What's Your Story?

Your story about growing closer to God could be the very thing He uses to draw someone else to Him. Just look at what Brenda shared with us:

“I had been a Christian for almost 20 years. 10 years ago, God revealed what was missing from my walk with Him: intimacy.”

“I didn’t know the God I believed in. Wife, mom, business owner — because I wasn’t spending time with God, people were getting ‘weak me, impatient me, tired me.’

“I prayed, ‘Lord, change my priorities. Be first in my life.’ Discipline became my word for 2018. (I’m spontaneous! I hate discipline!) But YouVersion made it easy.

“Now I start most days at 6:30 a.m. with ‘a date with God.’ I love YouVersion — the Plans, the reminders, Streaks — I love it all! Every aspect of my life changed when He became first: how I parent, how I love my husband, how I run my business.

“God used YouVersion to fulfill the dream of discipline in my life. Thank you!”

Great Ideas for Families

Parent reading with child

Whatever you do, honor others more than yourself.
Care about the lives of others.
Think like Jesus: He gave up everything, accepting
the role of a servant. He humbled himself.

Philippians 2:3-8

How can my family become the best it can be?

For years, we’ve been collecting biblical principles for families. Over the next few months, we’ll share them as short, simple suggestions you can put into practice immediately. This first one applies to everyone in your family—even the grown-ups…

“In our family, we treat each other better than our best friend.”

Keep reminding each other of this commitment, again and again, in whatever you’re doing—playing together, choosing entertainment, sharing toys or clothes or crayons, eating a meal—everything. Just be consistent, keep it simple, and enjoy the transformation.
