Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What else needs to be said? "For God so loved the world..." Ah, we should say, "Praise God!" We should say, "Thank you, Jesus!" We should say, "I believe!" We should say, "Let's go share Jesus' saving grace with the nations (Matthew 28:18-20).

My Prayer...

Thank you, Father, for loving us with everlasting love and for demonstrating that love in Jesus. We love you! We look forward to sharing the longest part of our lives with you in glory, enjoying your presence forever because you sent Jesus. Until then, loving Father, please use us to share this saving message -this message of your gracious and redeeming love -with others so they can believe and not perish. You sent Jesus so no one would perish. We commit to join you in sharing your love with the world. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
