The Life You Long For

Description

A beloved worship leader and music artist invites women to let go of the striving for control that leaves them exhausted and instead learn to trust God with their deepest dreams and desires. Having led worship in arenas for movements like Passion Conferences and Hillsong, Christy Nockels knows firsthand how easily our talents and our passion for serving God can overshadow our delight in simply being with Him. When God called her to lay it all down for a season and embrace the mundane tasks of life at home, she was forced to confront how her sense of purpose and worth had become tangled up in her work. But God lovingly showed her what it means to rest in the bullseye of His love for her and receive validation from Him alone. Drawing on her own experience of relearning her true identity, Nockels lights the way for any woman who seeks deeper contentment. She shows how, when we trade hustle and achievement for living out of our safe place in the center of God's heart, we gain an increased capacity to love and serve others. We find relief and freedom as we let go of striving and performing, and along the way we find beauty in mundane acts of service offered from an overflow of love. But it all begins by resting first in our true and highest calling as the beloved of God.
