When grief, disappointment or uncertainty makes it difficult to see where God is, Mary Magdalene’s story reminds us that Jesus is still near—and He still knows us by name. In this week’s devotional, “He Calls You By Name, “ we reflect on the tender moment in John 20 when Jesus met Mary in her sorrow and spoke the one word that changed everything. This is a reminder that you are seen, known, loved and never forgotten by the One who calls you HIs.

Sometimes the heaviest things we carry are the things God never asked us to hold. Jesus is inviting you to lay down the hurt, the regret, the unanswered questions, and the weight of yesterday. You don’t have to carry it anymore.

Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with doing more—it begins by drawing near. Come close to the One who already knows your heart and is still calling you home.
