Divine Love

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing…”—Luke 23:34 NIV
Even as Jesus faced excruciating pain and suffering, He focused his prayers on others. Instead of calling out for wrath and destruction, Jesus called for mercy. His compassionate prayer amidst unimaginable torture is proof of God’s absolute love for each one of us.
Lord, thank You for Your loving me unconditionally. Help me to be more like Jesus, more forgiving and selfless.

Passion Week

A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.—Matthew 21:8 NIV

Well Done Prayer

His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”—Matthew 25:21 (NIV)

Do you have the heart of a servant in all that you do? Are you using the abilities, gifts and resources that you have been given to bring glory to the Lord? Ask God to show you ways you can be of service. Whenever you feel a task is too big ask Him for help.

Heavenly Father, help me live so that I am one day welcomed to heaven with the words, “Well done!”

Life-Changing Thoughts

And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”—Mark 9:23 (ESV)

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Change your thoughts and change your world.” Your mind is a potent tool. It can work for or against you. It can help you achieve great victories or lead you down the road to inglorious defeat. You choose.

Fill Me with Your Spirit

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?—Psalm 42:2 (KJV)

Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). If you feel like something is missing in your life, a hunger in your heart that you can’t seem to satisfy, the emptiness may be a spiritual one. Devote your energy to deepening your relationship with Christ.

Lord, You are the center of my life. Fill me with Your spirit!
