Do not neglect your gift…—1 Timothy 4:14 (NIV)

Nudges from God

But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him.—1 Kings 12:8 (NIV)

Lord God, thank You for the creative ways You touch my life and reassure me that I am loved and cared for.
