About Day Break with Jesus

My name is Larry Joiner, and I am a follower of Jesus who has learned, over many years, that some of the most important conversations with Him happen in the quiet, in-between spaces of life. I’m not a celebrity, a professional theologian, or a spiritual “expert.” I’m an ordinary person who has been captured by the extraordinary kindness of Christ, and I carry a deep desire to help others meet Him in a real and personal way.

I write these devotionals because I believe Jesus still meets us in the everyday moments—when the house is finally quiet, when sleep won’t come, when burdens feel too heavy, and when hope feels thin. My heart is to create a gentle place where you can slow down, breathe, and hear His voice speaking into your real life, not some polished version of it.

From time to time, I use a writing assistant (an AI tool) to help shape the wording of what you read here. It does not replace Scripture, the Holy Spirit, prayer, or real-life obedience. It doesn’t “hear from God” for me and it doesn’t decide what is true. It is simply a practical tool that helps with clarity, structure, and flow—much like a spell-checker or a careful editor might.

In simple terms, the process looks like this:

• I seek God in His Word and in prayer.
• I listen for what He is impressing on my heart.
• I bring the message, the stories, and the Scriptures I sense He is highlighting.
• My assistant helps me put it into words.

Jesus remains the center of everything. My role is to follow His leading; my assistant’s role is to help the message flow clearly and beautifully; and your role is simply to receive whatever the Spirit is whispering to your heart as you read.

Every devotional you read here is born from that rhythm—God speaks, I listen, and together we craft each message with the prayer that it strengthens your heart, steadies your steps, and draws you closer to Him at daybreak and beyond.

Whether you are weary, searching, rejoicing, or just trying to make it through the day, my prayer is that these moments with Jesus will become a steady part of your rhythm—a place where your soul can exhale and remember that you are deeply loved, fully known, and never alone.

Thank you for meeting with Him here.
