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

You are blessed

People tend to focus on problems or on what we don’t have. This attitude is a bad habit that doesn’t benefit us, as it leads to sadness and anxiety.

Try this today! List the blessings you have in your life. Remember some good things that have happened to you in the past few weeks. Did you eat something every day? Do you have a place to live? Do you have family, friends, and clothes to wear? Can you read, breathe, and walk? How many good things are there in your life?

These are God’s blessings for you! Thank Him and focus on His goodness today.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
- James 1:17

There are many things we take for granted, but if we stop to think, they are great blessings from God. Having clean water available to drink, to bathe, to wash clothes, to clean the house, and so on, this may seem very normal to us, but in reality, it is a great blessing. Unfortunately, many people must walk long distances in search of drinking water.

Do you recognize God’s goodness in your life? Do you realize that you are blessed? Remove unfounded complaints from your heart and replace them with gratitude to God. You will feel much better and honor Almighty God who loves you so much.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Keep praying

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
- Matthew 7:7

Have you asked for something and are still waiting for an answer? Keep praying; do not give up. The Bible says that many times we do not receive because we do not know how to ask. This is especially true when prayer becomes our last resort.

On the other hand, sometimes we pray and even grow tired of asking for years without seeing the desired change. Do not stop praying! The answer may take time, but trust that it will come. We do not know how or when. But Jesus wants you to know that if you seek Him with your heart, you will receive and find.

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
- Matthew 7:8–11

God has good things for you; continue trusting in His love and faithfulness. Keep praying, because the door will open. Soon you will see God at work.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
- Psalm 34:15
