I am so very thankful to share the landing page for Part 2 Chapter 3, of “Arise and Shine: Beloved You Are Mine” with my dear friend, Anna Smit. When we first wrote these chapters several years ago, I had no idea how God would bring these thoughts back to me again, in even deeper lessons. Truly HE is that pure and perfect Heavenly Gold given to us, in the middle of our own imperfect weaknesses. I would love to invite you to join me over at Anna’s site for her precious introduction, and links for each day’s devotional:
Welcome to Chapter 3 of Part 2. This week we are resting in the free will offering of gold: the perfection of Christ, the Living Word of God. Today, Anna is sharing an introductory post, as she reflects on how God compels us to bring forward this free will offering in Christ, through the shaking and refining fires He sends our way.

At the end of this introduction, you are invited to join Anna and Bettie in prayer. Each day, we will then also add a new free will offering of gold – poems, prayers and testimonies of praise and thanksgiving to our God. May each offering encourage you also to bring forward your own free will offering of pure gold in Christ Jesus.
Take a sacred offering for the Lord. Let those with generous hearts present the following gifts to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze;Exodus 35:5
