Thoughts on Today's Verse...

And why do we serve God? Fear? A sense of obligation? Because our parents did?
How about because we want to please God and bring the Father joy?
How about because we believe in what God has done and will do for us?
We believe that God sent his Son Jesus to die for our sins so we can be forgiven, cleansed, and adopted as his children into his forever family. What's more, we believe that God longs to share his blessings with us and loves to reward those who believe in his grace and love. We believe! So, we earnestly, diligently, and passionately seek him!

My Prayer...

Dear Father, thank you for my faith and all those who helped me come to know you and your grace. Please bless me as I seek to share this faith with my family and friends. Thank you for the confidence that my life is secure in your love and victorious because of your power demonstrated in Jesus' resurrection. And it is in his name, Jesus, that I offer you my thanks, praise, and heart. Amen.
