Today's Word

Live always with Him

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
- John 3:16

Do you know John 3:16?

This is the verse every believer should memorize and keep in their heart. And yes, that’s right many already have. But sometimes we repeat things without thinking, and that’s why it’s worth stopping to look at what the verse actually says:

God loves everyone. God gave us His Son, Jesus. God does not want anyone to be left out of His kingdom. God wants us to live forever with Him.

This is God’s immense love for all humanity. And He has given you and me a mission. He chose us to carry His message of love to everyone we know.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
- Matthew 28:19–20

Do you need better reasons to go out and tell the world about God’s love? He gave you a mission, start fulfilling it today. Bring God’s love to everyone around you. You can begin with simple things, like offering a word of encouragement to someone who is sad or helping a person who is overwhelmed. Do everything in the name of Jesus, and impact others with His great love.

Yesterday's Word

Fix your eyes on Jesus

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
- Hebrews 12:1–2

Do you feel like your world is confusing and that you have no hope? Look to Jesus! In Him there is always hope, even in the midst of situations that seem impossible. He overcame temptation, sin, and even death. There is nothing He cannot transform with His power. Read the Bible, learn more about Jesus, and trust in Him. You will see how He will change your life.

With His help, you can break free from the power of sin and overcome the temptations that try to pull you away from His path. In the midst of your struggles, remember that Jesus is:

  • Your Savior: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
  • The mighty God: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:1–3)
  • Always the same: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
  • Your intercessor: “Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died more than that, who was raised to life is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” (Romans 8:34)

Focus on Jesus, keep your eyes on Him, and enjoy His presence.

Who are you waiting for?

Lord, have mercy on us;
for we put our hope in you!
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation in times of trouble.
- Isaiah 33:2

When we go through difficult and distressing times, we long for someone to reach out a hand and lighten our burden. But in reality, no human being can relieve all anguish or satisfy all the desires of another person. All human beings are imperfect, we have weaknesses and we fail.

God is the only one who can truly understand us and reach the depths of our hearts. Only He can bring peace in the midst of life’s storms and fulfill our deepest desires. You can trust Him completely to help you endure and persevere through distress. He can bring peace to your heart and heal the wounds caused by disappointment and pain.

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
- Psalm 73:25–26

When you feel like you’re fainting and can’t take it anymore, God can give you new strength and encouragement. Tell Him how you feel and open your heart to receive His comfort and renewal.

He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
- Psalm 147:3

Today, bring your anxieties, desires, and worries to the Lord and wait on Him. He will come to your aid, heal you, and strengthen you!
