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.
Awake sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Ephesians 5:14
Dear Lord,
Wake us up to new and beautiful things every day! Shine on us with your blessing, so that we can then be a blessing. Help us to remember that this is our purpose. Yes, please wake us up to you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
