21 Days to Unconditionally Delight in God’s Love {Part 1}

by Lori Schumaker in

21 Days, 3 Steps and 21 Scriptures to put away our questions of worth and unconditionally delight in God's love

I keep seeing it. All ages. All backgrounds.

It doesn’t belong to only one culture, one financial class, or one anything.

It’s common ground for all of us. Where our differences are immaterial.

It’s where we can look into the eyes of the sister next to us and recognize a place of longing coming from the depths of her soul.

A longing that says,

I want to feel loved for simply being me. I want to stop searching and have this settled once and for all. No more wavering or questioning. No more entertaining the whispers of the enemy. I want to feel loved beyond the shadow of a doubt so that I may step out in confidence

taking risks,

chasing dreams,

and setting boundaries.

I think in each of us, that longing presents itself differently. In some it is the walls built tall and wide around our hearts and in others the repetitive poor relationship choices.  It is the roller coaster emotions and sadness that grip tightly like a vice around our hearts.

But in each of us it is the search. The search for the “someone” or “something” that will make us feel complete. And in each of us, it is the pain when that “someone” hurts us or when the thrill of that “something” wears away.

That’s when the whispers begin. They lurk around eventually finding their way in securing a foothold within our thoughts.

Maybe your whispers question your worth? Your value? Your abilities? Do they taunt you? Leaving you wondering if you are even lovable?

Where do we turn? Where do we look to validate our worth?

Our spouses? Friends? Careers? Possessions?

And even …

Yes … even our children.

Where do you turn to find your worth?Is it working? #21daychallenge #printablescripture #findyourworth Click To Tweet

If we really examine much of why we become frustrated or angry with our children, it often is because they have behaved in a way that make us appear unable to control them or parent well. We somehow deduce our worth as a parent has become sub par due to their actions or choices.

Friends, I am there with you. I fall prey to those whispers. My heart has the same longing. I, too, hear the enemy whisper …

 “You …

aren’t good enough”

“can’t do this”

“fell short … again”

“are unlovable”

But I also know we have a weapon against that thinking. I know there is a truth bigger than any ugly whisper the enemy doles out. There is a fulfillment for that deep longing in our souls.

So, I want us to join together, receive, and delight in the only love that will fully satisfy the longings of our hearts.

Let's join together,receive,and delight in the only love that will fully satisfy the longings of our hearts #21daychallenge Click To Tweet

Together, I want to tackle LOVE. A love beyond the surface and into the hearts of who we are. Into the heart of how very much we are loved.

Today, let’s challenge each other. Challenge each other to STOP trying to fill the longing in our hearts with people and things. But instead, let’s fill our hearts with God’s love – the only love big enough, pure enough, and perfect enough to reflect our tremendous worth. Let us find an unconditional delight in His love.

Here’s the plan.

  • I’ve broken this into 4 posts covering today and my next three posts.

Fully knowing God. His majesty, His power, His perfection.

Grasping the depth of God’s love for us and how His love differs from all others.

Developing discipline in recognizing lies, praying against them, and replacing them with God’s unfailing words of truth and love.

11 True Stories of Redeeming Love

  • Each week, I will give you 7 Bible verses that correlate directly to the week’s truth.

I am providing a printable card version of these verses so that you can print and keep them with you each day. You can print more than one and stick them around the house so you can be reminded at all times! (They are free, too! Click here, here, here, here, and here. You don’t even have to sign up or subscribe! Although, I’d love to have you stay for the long-term!)

  • Extra.  

I learn best from using a variety of learning modalities so I like to hear it, read it, and write it. I’m not good at journals or organizers. I need something quick and at hand. So, if you are anything like me, you just might love this idea. I grab a dry erase marker and write verses on my bathroom mirror! buy nolvadex us It’s quick, easy, and in a place I can’t miss each day! It wipes away with a towel or tissue in a microsecond, too!

  • Repeat the verses each day. Several times. The more the better.

  • Pray. Here is an example to get you started.

Heavenly Father, You are love. Your love is a vastness beyond our comprehension, but yet I look away from it and to the people and things in my life to fulfill the deepest longings of my heart. To fulfill my worth. Lord, please forgive me. Make me aware of Your majesty. May my eyes be filled with the wonder of You and my heart be filled with the unconditional delight of Your love. Lord, I ask You to surround me with Your hedge of protection and fill me with wisdom and discernment so that I recognize lies and can replace them with truth. Lord, may Your Word be instilled within the deepest crevices of my mind, my heart, and my soul now and forever. In Your precious and holy Name I pray. The Name of Jesus. Amen

So, are you with me? Let’s go!

Week 1 – Fully Knowing God

21 Days to Unconditionally Delight in God's Love - Step 1 - 7 Scriptures - Fully Knowing God; free printable scripture cards

Our God is so powerful.

So majestic.

So mighty.

When we fully grasp this truth, our hearts will have no choice but to burst. And likewise, until we can fully fathom the depth and breadth of Him, we cannot possibly grasp the depth of His love and thus not delight in it.

The scriptures I chose this week are those that simply reveal the wonder of God. The wonder that can leave us weak-kneed, drop-jawed and speechless. Friends, our God is so great big and so powerful. Once we grasp that and then comprehend His love, we have no choice but to be moved and transformed!

O Sovereign LORD, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works you do? –Deuteronomy 3:24 NIV

For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. –Deuteronomy 10:17 NIV

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. -Hebrews 13:8 ESV

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. -Isaiah 40:28 ESV

But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. -Job 12:7-10 ESV

These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power? -Job 26:14 NLT

How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! -Psalm 147:5 NLT

Finally, friends, I pray God will use these words for His good. That He may walk you to a deeper into relationship with Him and give the joy and peace that comes from unconditionally delight in His love. If I can pray for you along the way, I would be honored. I always love to connect with you whether by comments, email, or social media. If this is your first visit, you may want to sign up to receive each new post with all the extra freebies via your email inbox 🙂 I’d love to get to know you!

See you next week for Part 2! – Grasping the depth of God’s love for us and how His love differs from all others.

    This is a beautiful challenge and thoughtful post given your struggle with your medical issues. I hope you are feeling better! It’s so true how we’re always looking to be filled by relationships, and anything but God. We all need to go deeper into scripture, and you offer beautiful ones, to help us anchor in God’s love! Take extra good care of you these weeks as you fill your heart with God’s love and word!

      Thank you so much, Kathy! I have had some good days. They are doing some treatments to ablate the nerves causing the migraines. It is a long-ish process, not immediate, but I am super hopeful!!! I love how you say “anchoring” in His love. It truly is the source of freedom. Getting them and staying there can be tough, though, right?! I do think that once we are there and experience that deep-into-our-souls feeling, even when we slide or begin to hear the whispers of lies, we recognize it and with good habits can get back to resting in Him! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me, sweet friend!

    “God’s love – the only love big enough, pure enough, and perfect enough to reflect our tremendous worth.” Amen to this and the prayer! Yes, we all have that longing in us and we can so easily try to fill it with people or things, but only God’s powerful love can fill us. I love this post, Lori. Thank you!

    This sounds like a great study! I’m on the easier side of parenting now–our girls are 23 and almost 22–but the most difficult year for us was last year. When your kids are ‘bigs’ instead of ‘littles’ there’s still a lot of moments when the evil one whispers in your ear!

      Oh, Anita, I believe that! I am the youngest of my siblings and had children later while they had them younger. I have watched them all become parents of adults and even grandparents. Our hearts are forever held by our children – whether they are young or old. And where our hearts lie, the enemy will attack! I am so sorry last year was so difficult. I am praying it is in the past and the future is filled with much more good than difficult! Thank you so much for visiting!

    So true and well said, Lori! I especially love the scripture cards you suggested. There was a time probably 30 years or so ago when I was encouraged by a pastor to do that. I carried index cards with me everywhere I went until they were dog-eared and coffee stained to knead into my heart the truth of God’s love for me and who He said I was in Him. It had a tremendous power in my life during that time to give me a foundation of truth to rest on when I am tempted to doubt or question myself in relation to Him or anyone else!
    Visiting as your neighbor on #Women with Intention. Thanks so much for this great post!

    Nodding my head in agreement with you girl. I’m reading the book “Fervent” and seeing all the ways the devil tries to derail us from our love of Jesus- condemnation sure is a favorite of his and he’ll stop at nothing to trick us into thinking we’re unworthy or unlovable. You’ve pinpointed the most worthwhile weapon against it- God’s word. And it’s funny because I’ve been toying with making some scripture cards too! Love yours! ♥ Thanks for an uplifting and inspiring post! God’s got you my friend♥

      Hi Heather, Thank you so much! I haven’t read “Fervent” yet, but it sounds like something I’d love! I spent way too much of my life listening to those lies from the enemy. I pray the words God has given me work to lead others to the same freedom I found in Him. We all need to be aware of the enemy – recognizing him and stopping him in his tracke! Thank you so much for visiting!!!

      Hi Lori 🙂 I am so glad you are following along! I’ll also ask you to pray God uses these words to grow others closer to Him and find His freedom! Thank you so much for the prayers. The most recent treatment seems to be bringing some relief! Praise God! Now if I can just not spend most of my days running to and from doctor’s offices for me or one of my kiddos!!! Thank you so much for hosting each week, friend!

    This is so beautiful, Friend. My heart keeps hearing the same whispers from God from so wonderful words like yours. I am loved! My value and my worth are based on God’s measurement of me. What a blessing. You are right, our hearts this week are tied to the same thoughts. Thank yo for sharing with us at Sitting Among Friends. I look forward to more from you. P.S. I love how your post was written.

    Lori – Such a beautiful & encouraging post. While my children are grown, I now have 2 granddaughters whom I watch FT while their parents work each day. So in many ways, I still face those issues 🙂 yet in a different way. It is so true – to love others we must first love and accept the love the Father has towards us. I loved reading Job 26:14 this morning – to think all that He has already done is “merely a whisper of his power”. Astounding to think about so thank you!

    May you get to feeling better soon! Blessings!

      Hi Joanne,
      Ooooo! I love that … “merely a whisper of His power” It gives me goosebumps! Those moments when we our hearts are blown away and humbled by Him are the best! It is so great that your granddaughters get to be loved on everyday by you! What a blessing for them… and you! I see my parents and their different interactions with grandchildren over the years and with all of us kids, and they do have those very same issues like you mention. Yes, a little different way, but yet a very real way!!! Thank you so much for visiting this week!

    Been thinking about you lots. I hope the treatment is helping, I know what it’s like to not feel good. And I know that you know that when we are going through something like this it may be happening so that we come to a better understanding of the pain of those around us. A higher degree of love and empathy. Wishing you the best. Miss you!

    This is a great series, we all need to turn in to God more, and I am pinning so I can go over these verses again and again. We are enough, we are worthy, we are the children of God! xoxoox

Praise God! They are time consuming, but relief is wonderful! Hopefully I will soon be back to interacting as much as before! And thank you for the kind words regarding the series. I truly pray God uses these words to walk others closer to Him so that they can find the same hope and freedom I have found! There is nothing better! 🙂 Hugs!!! Lori

They tried to roll their eyes at me each morning, They tried to roll their eyes at me each morning, but I still saw the little sparkle that told me the words still mattered. No matter how "uncool" I was, they loved being reminded of who and whose they were!

Our children, especially our teens, fight an incredible battle every single day. The world is at their literal fingertips 24/7 and what it tells them about their identity isn't anything that will give them solid ground to stand on. 

So we need to give that Truth to them. Again and again.

Who are they? They are a child of God, a treasured member of their family, and a representative of themselves, their families, and Christ. 

Whose are they? They are God's. The maker of the universe. The same One who created the oceans, the mountains, the sun, and the moon. The One who created them uniquely with and for a purpose. Who calls them wonderful and beloved. 

⛔They do not belong to the world. ⛔And the world has no right to tell them differently. 👉But, if we, as parents, don't give them these truths and weapons to fight a very broken world, we may lose them to its brokenness. 😭

Give them hugs, spend time with them, talk, laugh, create memories ... but above all, remind them exactly who and Whose they are. Then pray like crazy! 😘💛
"So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord "So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty." -Zechariah 4:6

Whether you are worn out and weary wondering how things will get done. Or you are striving, pushing, or willing something you want to happen. 🌟It will only get done through God's strength. 🌟

The Spirit of the Lord is the strength behind your situation. He has the ultimate say in the matter. Hand it over to Him. Join Him by working with Him, not against. 
Listen. 
Lean in. 
And trust. 
😘
Jesus is my sunshine 💛 When I keep my eyes and Jesus is my sunshine 💛 When I keep my eyes and thoughts on Him and His Truth, the darkness of shadows do not have power over me. 

So if today the darkness seems too heavy, turn your face toward the sunshine. Hope will meet you there. 🌞
If the unsteadiness of this world is causing anxie If the unsteadiness of this world is causing anxiety to build within you, there is a way to be unshaken. 

It's not a one-time deal. It's a longing in our hearts to rest in the One who is in control of it all and loves us like crazy.  It's a faith that surrenders our concerns and control in trust. 

🌟It all starts in prayer. The more I pray, the more peace I find. And when I get all wrapped up in the things going on around me and forget to pray, I feel the pressure rise. God hears us and answers our prayers. 

🛐 Dear Jesus, 
Today I humbly come to You in acknowledgment of how little I really have under control. The world is turned upside down and my peace wavers. Anxiety wants to take over. But I know that You are God and You are on the throne. You are bigger than any calamity or struggle I may ever face. 

Father, I want to rest in the knowledge that I am a child of God. I am Yours. So, today I set the reflection of the world down and pick up Your reflection — calm, steady, and unwavering. A reflection of righteousness, love, and mercy. 

Make me whole in You, Jesus. Make my heart overflow with You. 

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen

✝"Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.
 I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
 And when you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you’re between a rock and a hard place,
 it won’t be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
 The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you:
 all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
That’s how much you mean to me!
That’s how much I love you!
I’d sell off the whole world to get you back,
 trade the creation just for you.” 
-Isaiah 43:2-4 MSG
Does the Bible confuse you a bit? 🤷‍♀ Do yo Does the Bible confuse you a bit? 🤷‍♀ Do you wonder what it REALLY says about certain topics? Are there questions you've wanted to know but for one reason or another have hesitated to ask? ❓❓❓

🌟I've been writing my latest series because I've been there with those questions. I remember when I began reading my Bible, it didn't always make sense to me. Sometimes even now, I need to pull out all my resources to help me understand something!

Happy Easter! May today remind you of the hope th Happy Easter!

May today remind you of the hope that always lives. Three days before what we now call Easter Sunday, it seemed all was lost. Darkness prevailed. Jesus died on the cross. Grief echoed throughout the land. 

But as the sun rose on the third day, it was found that death did not conquer Hope after all.  In victory, Jesus rose from the dead. Light conquered darkness for all of eternity. 

So, rise up with bold and courageous hope today and every day. Jesus claimed victory for you and me and everyone who calls Him Savior. ✝

"Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” -John 11:25-26

Even now, because he knows how lonely she feels and how desperately she is missing Grandpa, he calls Grandma late every night just so she has someone that says goodnight to her. It's only a few minutes each night, but those few minutes mean the world to her. All while working a gazillion hours each week growing his resume and interviewing thousands, and keeping up with his classes at GCU. (if you love basketball, make sure to follow him for all his latest interviews with the best players across the world!)

You make your momma so proud, Z!  It's that teary-eyed and gushy kind of proud that makes me so thankful that God allows me to be your momma. And that He keeps listening to my prayers and working in and through you. 

This year and every year after I pray these things for you. That you:
🌟Keep chasing God and all the things of Him because if you do, all the other things will fall into place. 
🌟Keep trusting Him to work both the good and the bad together for a good. 
🌟Never forget He has a plan. If you live each day for Him and His glory, He will walk you through and to all He has for you in that plan. 

I love you, bud! 💕💕💕💕
Only 10 days until this conference! Local Phoenix Only 10 days until this conference! Local Phoenix Friends, don't miss a day to grow, to refresh, to connect, and to celebrate a purposely designed YOU! 💖

I thought the best way to tell you more about it is to share with you Sheila Arrington's heart behind her event:
⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇

"Life of Purpose is not merely a concept it is a life of intentional practice!  During this conference, you will have real and practical access to proven strategies, interactive workshops, seasoned teachers, and coaches, tools, resources, and prayer. 

Sis, God brought me out of my pit into His purpose for my life and He wants the same for you. Let us help you.

Learn how to step out of emotional pain and be healed of heart wounds that have kept you off balance or frozen in your tracks. Lay a spiritual foundation, find your true identity in Christ.

God has placed upon my heart to call His daughters together and that they may walk in your royal position of purpose that grants you access into places you could never dream of walking into before.

Sis, take the next step to be free in your purpose, free in your soul, free in your vision.

Join us now don’t wait!" 🤝🙌

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a social medi It’s been awhile since I’ve made a social media video. But it’s also been awhile since I’ve truly been active anywhere on social media!

But that is changing! I needed the time to process through all the loss and trials of the last year. And although I know I’m not finished with that process, I feel joy coursing through my soul once again. 

It’s perfect timing, too, because I’m speaking for a breakout session at the Purposely Designed Conference in Phoenix, Az on Saturday April 23rd from 8:30 am - 3:00 pm. 

And it’s in person which makes it even better! 🥳

So, if any of these questions resonate anywhere in your soul, REGISTER!! ❤️

1. Do you feel stuck and in the pits? 
2. Are you holding on to your mistakes that can actually hinder you from your distinctive purpose? 
3. Do you feel like your life is not going where it should be? 
4. Are you ready to get unstuck, and move forward? 
4. Are you ready to step out of the pit and into purpose?
5. Do you need a day to focus on you and to tune out a noisy and demanding world?
