Begin each day with a reminder that God loves you with a passionate, everlasting love. Give Jesus your worries and obligations, and let him nourish your heart, comfort your soul, and show you wisdom from his Word. Each blessing and related Scripture takes only moments to read, but is packed with a hope-filled, biblical perspective that will bring joy to your soul.
Several years ago Susie Larson began posting daily blessings on Facebook, and since then thousands have responded and forwarded the blessings on to others. This collection of blessings, presented with inspiring Scriptures and exquisite floral artwork, will be treasured by anyone seeking peace and encouragement or looking to bless those they love.
Susie Larson is a popular radio talk show host, national speaker, and bestselling author. The author of twenty-two books, Susie is also a veteran in the fitness field and has twice been voted a top-ten finalist for the John C. Maxwell Transformational Leadership Award. Susie and her husband live near Minneapolis with their three sons, three daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren. Susie’s passion is to see people everywhere awakened to the value of their soul, the depth of God’s love, and the height of their calling in Christ Jesus.
Blessings for the Soul is a delightful, inspiring, beautiful devotional book that offers daily, thematic blessings to encourage believers in various aspects of life. Each themed day begins with an applicable Scripture verse and follows with a page of quick and easy-to read blessings that will uplift you and altar your attitude and perspective for the day ahead. It seemed I was often reading exactly what I needed to hear on that particular day. I highly this, and any of Susie Larson’s books.
Susie Larson is an author I greatly respect, and whenever a new book releases with her name on it I quickly try and add it to my reading list. Her newest volume from Bethany House Publishers is entitled “Blessings for the Soul: Words of Grace and Peace for Your Heart”. This lovely little book is packaged as a floral hardcover with a ribbon bookmark and thick pages that are printed with botanic designs - but the true merit comes from the words on the pages. . .
I’ve found you can read this book in two different ways - sequentially, one daily blessing after the other, or by scanning the table of contents for a title that whispers something to you on that particular day. Both ways are meaningful! Each daily blessing holds a Bible verse on one page, and a brief reading on the opposite page. So many sentences from the daily readings are quote-worthy, but to name just a few of my favorites:
“In due time your faith will become sight and you’ll be glad that you trusted Him. Trust that He’s working on your behalf.”
“May you become an expert at caring for your soul.”
“May you count your blessings today out loud, one by one, in a louder voice than you’d usually use (it’s hilariously fun that way).”
“As you walk intimately with Jesus, may faith feel as natural to you as breathing in and breathing out.”
I could go on and on, listing quotes from each and every page of this special little book, but you get the idea! “Blessings for the Soul” is a simple yet meaningful way to start your day, allowing Susie’s words and God’s truth sink into your soul as you head out into your daily life. I highly recommend this new book from Susie, both to purchase for yourself and as a precious gift for a friend.
