1 SAMUEL 12:22 (MSG)
GOD, simply because of who he is, is not going to walk off and leave his people. God took delight in making you into his very own people.
JOHN 17:26 (MSG)
I have made your very being known to them—
Who you are and what you do—
And continue to make it known,
So that your love for me
Might be in them
Exactly as I am in them.
THE ESSENCE
God reveals himself most fully in Jesus.
DAILY FODDER
If God reveals himself most fully in Jesus, living in solidarity with Jesus is the way to best relate to God.
PRAYER
Thank you, Father, for your Son. In Jesus, you have shown me that your love has no bounds. May your love so fill me that it pushes out anger and hate. Forgive me for the moments I cast away, the opportunities to serve and love that I squander. Use my words and actions today to make Christ known. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
