Today's Word
Open the door!
The Lord, in His infinite mercy and love, draws near to each of us, gently knocking at the door of our hearts. He does not force His way in but patiently waits for us to choose to open and allow Him to enter. This image of Jesus waiting outside, longing to meet us, is a powerful reminder of His willingness to be with us, regardless of our circumstances.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
- Revelation 3:20
Opening the door means more than simply inviting Him in. It means full surrender, unwavering trust, and the decision to let Him take control of our lives. When we hear Jesus’ voice and open the door, we welcome the peace that surpasses all understanding, the indescribable joy, and true fellowship with our Creator.
Each day, we are called to make that decision: to open the door and let Jesus transform our lives. In a world full of distractions and challenges, it’s easy to ignore the sound of His voice. Yet true life full and abundant is found when we invite Jesus in.
May we, with open and willing hearts, hear the Lord’s call and allow Him to dwell in our lives. Then we will experience the divine feast, where He nourishes us with His love, grace, and truth, establishing an eternal and unbreakable communion. Open the door, and let the King of Glory enter and transform everything for His glory.

Don't Give Up, You're More Than a Winner
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39
Do you realize that God will never abandon you? Your situation may be dire but don't give up. God is in control of everything, and has already taken action to provide you with success!
When God promised to take the people of Israel out of Egypt, things became a lot tougher at first. For those who were enslaved, their work increased, and the harshness of the taskmasters more and more. Hope diminished each time Pharaoh said no. But God is faithful, he liberated His people.
11 and brought Israel out from among them
His love endures forever.
12 with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.13 to him who divided the Red Sea asunder
His love endures forever.
14 and brought Israel through the midst of it,
His love endures forever.
15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea;
His love endures forever.16 to him who led his people through the wilderness;
His love endures forever.Psalm 136:11-16
Through the cross and the death of Jesus, God has also liberated us. Life now may be difficult, we face daily struggles, but what about the 'big picture'? - death itself has been conquered so that we can spend eternity with God. We have been given the assurance that nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God. God loves you, and His love endures forever!
With God's love, we are champions!

This is the wonderful result of faith!
The Bible says that faith without works is dead. But what does that mean? Living faith brings change. Good works are a natural result of faith. Works do not lead to salvation, but salvation leads to good works. Anyone who claims to have faith but does not live to please God has a problem.
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
- Matthew 7:21
We know that we have come to know Him if we keep His commands.
Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
- 1 John 2:3–6
Loving God with all your heart produces the desire to please Him and do His will. Obedience is the wonderful result of faith! A transformed life seeks to live according to what God wants and says: helping others, proclaiming the Gospel, pursuing holiness, being strengthened in Christ to overcome temptation… Our faith in the Lord should be evident in every area of our lives.
