Your Monday Hug Devotion for June 16, 2025: Embracing the Simple Life

Welcome to this week’s Monday Hug Devotion!

This week invites us to slow down and embrace the simple life - a gentle rhythm that lets God’s grace seep into everyday moments. In a world that often feels noisy and overwhelming, choosing simplicity is an act of trust, a way to make space for what truly matters.

As we reflect on this, we remember that God’s presence isn’t found only in big, dramatic moments. Sometimes it lives quietly in a soft breath, a small kindness, or a gentle pause - waiting for us to notice.

This week, consider: Where can you let go of what’s complicated or heavy? What small step can you take toward simplicity - in your schedule, your heart, or your prayer life?

You don’t have to do everything at once. God meets us right where we are, inviting us to be gentle with ourselves and the pace of life.

In this week’s reflection, you’ll find:

• Encouragement to simplify as a path to peace
• A reminder to be gentle with yourself, especially in times of change or challenge
• An invitation to find renewal in quiet, everyday moments
