The Person Waiting to Offer Himself is a part of a quote I read in Asheritah Ciuciu’s book Delighting in Jesus, and I’m pondering it with you today.
For Lent 2025, I’ll be writing new blog posts every day. I’m writing for just five unedited minutes on a quote of the day to deepen our faith in this Lenten season.
Day 27 of Lent 2025 – March 31
I ordered this book because I need an infusion of joy into my life. What I appreciate most about it is how Asheritah weaves neuroscience into her spiritual encouragement. She talks about our brain’s fear center as well as its joy center. As I’ve written about in this book, the more we focus on Scripture to reprogram our thoughts, the more joy we can have in our lives.
In the past three years, severe trauma has impacted all aspects of my life, including my spiritual health. As I’ve written before, I’ve felt a sense of betrayal in my relationship with God that I want to repair. This book is helping me do that. I appreciate both the practical and spiritual approaches in this book. She lays out the five rhythms of delight: worship, word, whisper, wonder, and walk. I’m exploring the one on worship right now. I like her suggestions for carving out personal worship time each day. This will help me heal and recapture the joy of living the Christian life.
My Bible reading has felt more wooden at certain times in my recovery process. Though I kept up with reading devotions every day with scriptures in little bites, sometimes reading the Bible itself felt too painful. But I believe that season has passed, and I’m grateful that it’s over. As the quote states, I want to recapture my delight in the personhood of Jesus through my daily scripture readings, rather than just looking at Bible reading as another thing to check off my to-do list.
Sometimes we need a friend to help us recapture our joy and delight, and Asheritah serves that purpose in Delighting in Jesus. I encourage you to get your copy HERE.
Join me again tomorrow for another reflection on a different quote.
