Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big. You're listening to the Big Life

Devotional podcast. Now, here's Pamela to get you fired up for all God has available for you today.

Well, good morning, beautiful. Welcome to a brand new day of life. Look at that. We just woke up to a

Wednesday, the 10th day of December. I was just telling my big life mentoring girls that are

watching this live that two weeks from today is Christmas Eve. Yes, we are in the middle of the season, y'all remember the reason, right?

Okay, the title of today's episode of the Big Life Devotional podcast is, Lord, I believe you.

And the title can be your prayer today.

Man, I hope it is your prayer today. Lord, I believe you. What do God's

rewards look like? Well, they look like impossible things being made possible. They look like

things you could have never even dreamed up in your own mind.

God's rewards are bigger, better, sweeter than what you even asked for. They are exceedingly great.

Remember yesterday's devotional, exceedingly great rewards. And God rewards

the ones who have messed up. He rewards the ones who have failed along the way. The ones who

thought their plans were better than God's plans. And so they did their own thing,

their own way. And God does not cancel

his rewards for the less than perfect. He leads them right to his rewards with grace and mercy.

And he covers us, he forgives us, he guides us and teaches us and redeems us again and again,

he rewards us in ways we could never be good enough to earn.

Yesterday, as I was wrapping Christmas gifts for my family, I realized God's rewards in my life.

Is my life perfect?

No.

There are some messy uncertainties, hurts, there are unhealed wounds.
