Sunflowers are a beautiful reflection of how we should live our lives in Christ. From the moment they sprout, they instinctively turn toward the sun, following its light for strength and nourishment. In the same way, we are called to turn toward the Son-Jesus-for guidance, renewal, and growth through the power of the Holy Spirit.This 7-day devotional is designed to help you cultivate a heart that seeks after God, just as the sunflower seeks the sun. Each day, we will explore a different aspect of spiritual growth-faith, trust, joy, perseverance, renewal, purpose, and love-allowing the Holy Spirit to shape us into who we are meant to be.No matter where you are in your journey, may this devotional encourage you to lift your face toward the light of Christ, letting His presence nourish your soul and transform your life.Nikayla A.
