“Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out.”
(Luke 8:2)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Mental Health and Faith

A Thought for Today

Our hardest chapters do not have to become our whole identity.

What This Means for Us Today

Luke acknowledges what Mary Magdalene had experienced, but her story does not stop there.

She became a faithful follower of Jesus.

Whatever has been part of our past, Christ sees more than what we have suffered.
There can still be purpose, belonging, and life ahead.

Carry This With You

Your past is part of your story, not all of it.

A Simple Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for seeing my whole story.
Lead me forward with hope.

Today’s Invitation

Release one label you have placed on yourself.
Remember that God sees more.
