Blessed are you who enter in GOD’s name...
JOHN 1:12 (ABP)
But everyone who opened their doors wide open to welcome Jesus (that is, those who entrusted their lives to him) he welcomed into his family as God's children.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When we welcome Christ he welcomes us.
DAILY FODDER
How much of your personal identity is tied up in being a child of God?
PRAYER
Good God, thank you for welcoming me into your family. It's not anything I've done but all the work of Christ. When I get distracted help me to keep the door open to him and his ways. I'm going to follow your lead and seek to extend your hospitality to all I come across. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
