GOD: "I know they have this bent toward evil from an early age, but I’ll never again kill off everything living as I’ve just done."
JOHN 3:17 (MSG)
God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
While we're predisposed to doing evil, God is predisposed to healing the world.

PRAYER
Dear Savior, thank you for coming into the world to introduce healing beyond what we imagined possible. Forgive our lack of imagination and ongoing fixation on the problems of the world.
