Welcome back, Circle Time Sisters! 🎙️ Happy Wednesday! Today, Diana Marie shares a heartfelt episode diving into the importance of mercy, community, and the transformative power of helping others during difficult times. Through scripture, a devotional reflection, and practical encouragement, we’re reminded of how God’s mercy flows through us to bless others—and in turn, renews our own hearts.   In this episode, we’ll cover: ✨ Mercy in Action: Using the parable in Mark 2:4-5, 10-12, Diana highlights how faith-filled friends played a pivotal role in someone’s healing. This story reminds us of the significance of surrounding ourselves with people who lead us to Jesus and how God can work miracles through our willingness to take bold steps of faith.   ✨ Biblical Affirmation: This week’s affirmation from Ephesians 3:12 reminds us: "My confidence is in Christ—and Christ alone. Because His Spirit lives within me, I can do everything He calls me to do." Take heart, Sis! God has equipped you to walk boldly in your calling.   ✨ Day 8 of Our Devotional: In Where Is God in My Mess?, Joyce Meyer’s reflection on Matthew 5:7 challenges us to be merciful, even when it’s difficult. Diana shares how offering mercy and kindness to others can shift our perspective, renew our spirits, and reflect God’s extravagant love. Mercy isn’t just about fairness—it’s about giving generously, just as God gives to us.   💡 Join Our Community: Looking for support on your faith journey?
