"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide." — John 15:16 ESV

Your purpose didn't start with you deciding on it. It started with God choosing you.

Restore. It's a word you only use for something you once had.

For most of us joy got crowded out somewhere along the way — by finances, work, relationships, by the pressure of serving God consistently. It became contingent on how the day was going. But children have this ability to have joy simply because they've found the delight of their parents, and that's the joy God is offering back to you.

Everything runs in that order, and we keep trying to reverse it. We serve to earn what we already have. We perform for a Father who ran out to meet us before we'd finished our speech.

He isn't after your service first. He's after your love — and even that starts with his.

Today's First15 is about renewing your first love: https://www.first15.org/today/

Every day, God longs to speak the truth of your identity through his word and Spirit.

Advertising tells you you're incomplete. People tell you who you are from their own limited view. An enemy tells you you'll never amount to anything. Renewing your mind is the daily, quiet work of believing God instead.

This week on First15 we're covering renewal — seven mornings, seven things God wants to make new in you.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." — Lamentations 3:22–23 ESV

God is not calling you to share with the world your own perfection.

A lot of us quietly believe we have to get our lives sorted before God can use us. So we wait. The waiting looks like humility, but it's mostly just hiding.

The most powerful thing you can show someone in the dark isn't that you've figured it out. It's that someone in desperate need was met by a perfectly loving Savior.

You are the light of the world. Today, as you are. Read the full devotional: https://www.first15.org/today/

"And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them." — Isaiah 42:16 ESV

He doesn't wait for you to find the path. He leads you down one you've never walked, and levels the ground as you go.

You aren't expected to see clearly on your own. You're expected to reach for his hand.

Run to God with your temptations, needs, and desires and ask him to lead you to satisfaction.

Darkness is only tempting while we haven't yet tasted how satisfying the light actually is. That's not a scolding — it's an invitation to go looking.

The answer isn't to stare harder at what's pulling at you. It's to bring it to the only real source of satisfaction there is.

Today's devotional on where that satisfaction is found: https://www.first15.org/today/

"For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light." — Luke 8:17 ESV

Being fully known sounds like exposure. Most of us spend real energy making sure it never happens.

But in the hands of a Father who already knows and loves you anyway, being known isn't the threat — it's the place where shame finally loses its grip.

Today's First15 is an invitation to come honestly: https://www.first15.org/today/

We can't escape darkness if darkness is all we're looking toward.

So much of what we call fighting sin is really just staring at it — analyzing it, managing it, trying to white-knuckle our way free. But freedom doesn't come from studying the dark. It comes from turning our attention somewhere else entirely.
