Monday
Picture: Bride (His initiation)
Scripture: Jeremiah 9:24; Isaiah 43:1; Isaiah 45:4-5; John 15:16; 1 John 4:10
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
In your mind’s eye, see a man making the first phone call to someone he is very interested in getting to know. On a much grander scale, it’s important to remember our God is the One who “first loved us”. We have done nothing (and can do nothing) to earn this love. He IS love; all He does is motivated from this unconditional source.
Are you convinced of God’s love? Why or why not?
Explain a time when God showed His love toward you in a very personal way.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
My times are in Your hands. Psalm 31:15
Dear Lord,
You are the Beginning and the End. As we look into this New Year, may we not waste the blessing of time you have given us to live; but rather, help us to cherish our days and number them each as a gift, stepping ever forward with your love and joy and peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
