"Where He leads Joy Follows" -Joy Butts

"The Hidden Place of Remembering”

She had a secret passage — a place no one else could see. When life grew loud, confusing, or heavy, she would go there. A quiet wood. A gentle brook. A still lake that reflected more than trees — it reflected truth.

At first glance, it looked like an ordinary place. But the path was lined with reminders — moments God had moved, prayers He had answered, promises He had spoken. Every step whispered, “You’ve been here before. I was faithful then. I am faithful still.”

The brook held Truth. Living truth. The kind that washes over old lies and makes the soul new again. And every time she entered that hidden place, she heard the same words rise in her heart:

“This is who you are, My child.” Just clarity. Identity. Freedom.

The secret wasn’t the wood.It was the remembering.

There is a place like that within you — where God restores what the world tries to erase. A place where you are not defined by wounds, labels, or failures, but by the voice of the One who made you.

And in that place, you are not trying to become free. You remember that you already are.

With Grace,

Joy Butts

📝 A Moment of Reflection

What “hidden place” helps you remember who God says you are when life tries to tell you otherwise?

Prayer

Father,Lead me back to the quiet place where Your voice is louder than my fears. Wash away every lie I’ve believed about myself. Remind me who I am in You — chosen, loved, and free. When I forget, draw me again to the living water of Your truth. Let my identity be rooted in what You have spoken, not in what I have walked through. Restore my heart in Your presence.

Amen.
