Where Grace Stays, Wonder Grows: Finding Redemption in the Skies

💌 A Note of Gratitude

Dear Jesus24365 Family,

This one is different.

We’ve watched Zoe smile, sketch, and search across Comics 1 through 4. But this week, we go deeper. Into the ache. The past. The moments she never planned to share.

You may know a Zoe. You may have been one.

Zoe’s not a story about shame. It’s a story about grace that never walked away. A story about how wonder begins when you stop running—from God, and from yourself.

If you know someone who needs this—someone hurting, doubting, or carrying a quiet past—please, pass this on.

Sometimes the way we help young women choose hope… is by reminding them they’re still loved.

For the Kingdom, ❤️

🕊 Meet Zoe: The Reformed Rebel

Zoe wasn’t driven. She was searching—lost in a storm of voices, promises, and betrayals.

When the boy she trusted said, “I’ll be your everything,” she wanted to believe him. But when she got pregnant, he vanished. No calls. No help. No more promises.

For months, Zoe walked through shadows. She wrestled with the shame. The judgment. The aching silence of being alone and afraid.

And then came the choice she never imagined she'd make: placing her baby girl in the arms of a Christian couple in another state.

“It was the hardest, most beautiful, most painful decision I’ve ever made.”

Zoe stopped pretending after that. Stopped performing. She stopped hiding from God.

And one day, lying in the grass, Bible by her side, eyes to the sky—He showed up.

“I saw a cross in the clouds. And I just knew—He hadn’t left me. I left Him. But He never moved.”

Zoe doesn’t have all the answers. But she knows Jesus is her true Savior—the one who stayed. Her best friend. Her steady place.

Now she watches clouds not just for fun—but for faith. For reminders. For hope.

Let Zoe’s story not just move you—but shape how you see the Zoes around you.

🖼 Cloud Watching and Wonder

Zoe lies in a field, journal and Bible at her side. She gazes at a sky where the clouds form a radiant cross.

"Sometimes, grace is as simple as seeing His hand in the clouds."

She isn't rushing. She's resting. She's listening.

📖 Bible Study #1: Psalm 19:1

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands."

💬 Zoe’s Reflection:

"I saw a cross in the clouds—and it felt like He saw me."

👀 Consider This:

• What is the sky saying today?

• When did you last stop and simply look up?

📖 Bible Study #2: Matthew 18:3

"Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

💬 Zoe’s Reflection:

"Wonder is worship in a whisper."

👀 Consider This:

• What’s one way you can recover childlike awe this week?

• What has dulled your sense of wonder?

📖 Bible Study #3: Genesis 9:13

"I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant..."

💬 Zoe’s Reflection:

"God still speaks through skies. I just have to be still enough to see it."

👀 Consider This:

• Where is God reminding you of His promises?

• What symbol has He used to catch your attention?

🔥 This Week’s Challenge – Watch the Sky

Not every prayer needs words. Not every encounter needs noise.

This week, accept the invitation to wonder:

1. Spend 5 minutes outdoors in silence—no distractions

2. Journal what you see or sense

3. Point out the clouds to someone else

4. Ask God to show you something unexpected

5. Share your moment using #FaithLikeZoe + #Jesus24365

Let wonder bring you back to worship.

And if you know a young woman walking through unplanned pregnancy or post-placement pain—don’t preach. Don’t pressure. Just be present.

Sit beside her like Jesus. Watch the sky together. Let love speak first.

💬 What’s one thing that made you pause in wonder this week?

📃 Share your moment below. You might stir it in someone else.

For the Kingdom, ❤️

📣 P.S. Don’t underestimate the power of awe.

Wonder doesn’t just lift our eyes—it lifts our hearts.

When we slow down enough to notice what God paints in the skies, we’re reminded that we are seen, known, and loved.

That’s not childish. That’s faith at its fullest.

💬 Reflect with Us:

🌌 When did God last stop you with beauty?

💧 Are you still enough to see Him?

🙏 Need prayer to let go of guilt and receive grace?
