Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeHopeCompassionShame

This sentence is a reminder of both God's wonderful grace and the fact that we need to share it with others. It would be a shame for anyone we know and care about to miss out on life. God gave up the life of His Son so that we could share in His life by finding Him.

Prayer

Revive in your people a desire to extend your grace to every language, tribe, nation, and people, O Father of all nations. Give us your Spirit so we can boldly and reverently share the good news of Jesus with a world that doesn't know Him. Use us to bring others to the Son's life! In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
