We all have a need to know our Creator. We all have a longing to be fully known and fully loved by an all-knowing, all-loving God. First15, a resource of Denison Ministries, is a daily devotional written out of the belief that 15 minutes with God can change your life. God longs to fill you by his refreshing, life-giving presence. He longs to meet you in the first moments of your day that your emotions, thoughts, beliefs and actions would be founded on his unconditional love. Give God 15 minutes today and let him love you, empower you, heal you, free you and establish you in the reality of his nearness.
