Devotional Reflection

JoyHope

John the Baptist didn't need many words to say that this was the best way to be great. How do you do it? Paul told the Galatians that a similar formula was needed for them (Galatians 4:19). He told the Christians in Colossae that this is what he had worked so hard to make happen in their lives (Colossians 1:28-29). Paul told the Corinthians that the Spirit was doing these things in their lives (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, don't you think this could be the real recipe for your life?

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I want Jesus to be more important in my heart and life than I am. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
